Center of Attention A statement-making piece is perfect for special occasions. If you're an updo kind of gal, try the Colette Malouf Mystic Crystal Round Tort Comb, $134. It's a bit of an investment, but the Swarovski crystal patterns come in three different colors, and can be worn alongside every updo imaginable -- from a classic French twist to a trendy mass of upswept braids and knots.

The Kitsch Thunderbird Bun Pin, $24, is the greatest addition to a topknot we've ever seen. Worn above the bun at the crown of the head, it gives you the confidence boost of a tiara in an un-obnoxious, totally stylish way.

If you're leaving your hair loose, the Coral Stone Goddess Chain Headwrap from Urban Outfitters, $18, is pretty and right on trend with its coral enamel charms.

Hair accessories are basically jewelry for your hair -- which might explain why we just can't get enough. They're a quick way to add color and personality to basic hairstyles. Pop a Swarovski-encrusted comb alongside a topknot, and suddenly you're a modern day Holly Golightly. Throw a patterned turban over beach-y waves for an instant dose of bohemian cool.

These are the hair accessories that have us inspired for spring. They promise to keep you looking impossibly chic -- even on hot days when you're rocking a slicked-back pony or messy bun.
