We love how unfussy and handy jumpsuits can be — a godsend when you’re rushing to the office — and this satin Zara number takes it up a notch with its vivid cyan hue.

Spotted on the manes of celebrities and influencers alike (we’ve seen Kendall Jenner, Ariana Grande and Winnie Harlow flaunting these, to name a few), the 90’s-style old-school barrette is back in trend and is hotter than before. Go with pearl snap clips, which we feel are the most trendy out of the bunch of barrette styles you can find. Not only do these make you look feminine, they also inject texture to your ‘do and visual interest to your overall look. Pair these with a black pinafore dress for a youthful date look.
