# Vintage Hairpin Charms D. Caruso Abandons Popular Hairband Style for Eclectic Hair Accessories By Shelby Lee Walsh | Published 2009-08-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-hairpin-charms-d.-caruso-hair-accessories References: [nylonmag](http://www.nylonmag.com/?section=article&parid=3453) & [henribendel](http://www.henribendel.com/) We all cherished the time when (thanks mainly to Gossip Girl) the headband was the choice accessory for fashionista’s hair.

Caruso has a soft spot for the headband, this designer is choosing to rework [vintage charms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/styled-by-katseye) into adorable [hair adornments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gem-z-collection). No matter what kind of hair you have, you will appreciate these hairpins that range from old watch faces to super feminine [flower designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wet-brush-goody-x-loveshackfancy).
