Snowflakes in summer
It seemed like yesterday that I was dying to put a hair clip in my oldest daughter's nearly bald little head. And now with her bangs all grown out and her hair all grown in, she really can't leave home without one, so I'm always on the lookout for cute hair bling sans the big bows.


These subtle felt hair clips from Modern Bean are right up my alley. Handcrafted from Holland felt and featuring a simple snowflake detail inspired by mid-century design, these sweet hair clips are perfect for any season - regardless of whether your kiddo is in shorts and tee, or her upcoming back to school uniform.

Pick from an array of lovely colors that are bound to coordinate with any hair color or outfit choice. And if you're not ready for snowflakes just yet, pop around the shop. You're bound to find something adorable to add to your little one's hair clip collection. -Kristen

Peruse the lovely handcrafted felt hair barrettes at Modern Bean.
