It seems like every other day we find a new beauty trend we want to try, whether perusing our favorite Instagram feeds, flipping through magazines or checking out the latest looks from fashion week. Unfortunately, most of us can't afford multiple visits to Sephora and Ulta whenever the mood or inspiration to experiment strikes (at least not if we want to pay rent on time). So, when a beauty trend comes along that takes little effort — or investment — you can only imagine our delight. Even better if we already own everything needed to recreate the look.
This season, bobby pins were all over the Spring 2018 runways. Maki Oh (shown here), JW Anderson and Sally LaPointe adorned models with serious bobby pin art in multiple different styles, colors and patterns. Celebrities like Khloe Kardashian and YouTuber Desi Perkins are already sporting the basic accessory in sweet designs, ensuring that we'll never look at a utilitarian bobby pin the same way again.
