Photo Challenge A-Z: A

A is for Accessory


Messy, messy, messy rain soaked hair.

Mike found these Missoni for Target barrettes this weekend. Last pair after a recent re-stock. I was so happy to get them though, they’re lovely & I’m barrette obsessed lately. These were the 1 Missoni item I really, really wanted. I wore them to work and even got a compliment on them.

I took this photo after 8 hours of work plus having been rained on about 3 separate times today. I’m surprised my hair doesn’t look WORSE actually. It’s bitter, bitter cold & rainy today but tomorrow is supposed to go back to normal fall weather & temperatures.

I really didn’t think I’d ever get these, I felt SO lucky! They make a boring office look “pop” a little

I love the zig zag patterns and the color combo really reminds me of fall while the hints of blue is winter (or spring/summer xD) Super adorable ~

Totally agree! I think these could really fit ANY season. You see the colors you want, you know?

I haven’t really seen anything from the Missoni collection I liked but these are really cute. Kinda makes me wanna go check out my Target heh.

Yeah these were one of the few things I was like “OOOH I’d like to find them.” I thought they’d be completely left behind but they sold out during the launch stock and all but this set sold after a recent restock.

Those barrettes are cute enough that I’m considering driving a full hour to the closest Target. haha!

Oh goodness be careful because these sold out after restock too! I bought the last one at my store and hadn’t seen them in any other Targets. I’d hate for you to drive and not find them wah wah ;__;

I’m not a huge fan of the Missoni print, but seeing it on the small barrettes is really cute! I’d wear it if it were an accessory like this~

jenny said
October 3, 2011 @ 9:26 pm

Yea, same. These were the only Missoni items I wanted. They actually had some tops/knits in and scarves but these barrettes I HAD to have! So hard to find cute barrettes.

These are really cute!! I thought the collection as whole was really disappointing though! It just looked bad~
Your hair looks great even though you got rained on! YAY~

jenny said
October 4, 2011 @ 8:40 am

Yeah I wasn’t too heartbroken when I missed the launch sale. I really liked these barrettes though and the flats are cute but haven’t seen any in my size.

 
 
October 4, 2011 @ 1:52 am

I love Missoni and this barrette looks very good on you! Your hair doesn’t look rain soaked at all!!

jenny said
October 4, 2011 @ 8:41 am

Oh thank you, so kind ;__; It’s really frizzy though and not as sleek after all the rain & wind.

jenny said
October 4, 2011 @ 8:41 am

your ‘messy’ hair is so ideal to me!! i could never get my hair that nice even on the driest of days x_x horrible frizzy curly mess

jenny said
October 4, 2011 @ 9:25 pm

Ah, well, I guess I was so happy with how it looked in the morning, much more sleek, and then when I get home it was flyaways city and the barrettes were beginning to slip out

Loving the new layout. Very autumn-y.

The hairpin looks so awesome. I wish some of these promotions would trickle towards Europe too.

jenny said
October 4, 2011 @ 9:25 pm

Do you guys have Target stores?? Or did you mean collaborations in general?

 
 
October 4, 2011 @ 12:40 pm

lol, I’m obsessed with accessories. I tend to buy a lot of them, now I have like 4 shelfs in my book case with jewelry, hair pieces and scarves, it used to be one. eheeh… ≖‿≖

jenny said
October 4, 2011 @ 9:26 pm

WOW!! Hey that’s great though, accessories can really change the mood of an outfit!

Your new camera is amazing..! I think one of my cousins picked up the same one. I’m so jealous of everyone ~_~ Lol I bet it’s so much more fun than just the smartphone all the time D:
I heard those Missoni for Target items are really hot now!! Dresses and tights, everything. Sold OUT D: I love these target collabs. Such a great idea!

jenny said
October 4, 2011 @ 9:27 pm

It feels much more… hmmm.. “real” compared to using my iPhone to be honest. But that doesn’t mean I won’t still be using it, but it’s nice to have something more dependable and advanced now

 
 
October 4, 2011 @ 12:45 pm

Oh looking forward to this photo challenge! So far so good! And such cute barrettes

jenny said
October 4, 2011 @ 9:28 pm

They’re lovely. From what I’ve heard the Missoni for Target range was hard to get, so well done. You’ve got a good guy there
