The number one trending fashion item since the start of the year isn’t a hot-ticket Gucci bag or a pair of Chloé boots or even another knockout dress from Réalisation. Nope, it’s an accessory you can find on Amazon and, what’s more, one that will only put you back the same amount of money as the sales tax on your lunch order. I’m talking about a certain set of faux-pearl hair clips from the giant e-tailer that has been taking over the fashion scene as of late.

During NYFW, we spotted it at least 10 times in street style galleries, and it’s been making the rounds on the Instagram feeds of our favorite influencers, not just in NYC but from L.A. to Australia and back again. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but back in January, I called out pearl hair clips as a micro-trend for spring and predicted that it would only be a matter of time until they blew up and became a bona fide trend with a capital T. Well, friends, that day has come. But unlike other It fashion items with price tags that make your heart skip a beat, the infamous Amazon pearl hair clips will only set you back a mere $3. (Well, $2.30 to be precise).

Starting to sound too good to be true? To see how the hair clips are being styled on the street and on Instagram, keep reading, and then shop the clips for yourself (unless you already own them like I do).

Next, find out what my mom, my hairstylist, and a 4-year-old had to say about the hair clip trend.

Canada Goose and Gore-Tex seem like a natural combination—but apparently this is the first time they’ve ever combined their forces to create a line of gear ideal for the weather extremes that go with the switch from winter to spring. 

Nomad and Nomad HyBridge Lite Jackets are for anyone who needs that uber-protective combo of Canada Goose warmth and comfort and Gore-Tex resistance to the elements.

So this collection is lightweight while remaining stylish and it’s as capable of handling a chilly morning as it is able to deal with being trapped in a storm on that first boating trip of the season. 

The Nomad Jacket is $850. If you wanted to live up to its name and go wandering in any weather, it breathes easy for temperature control with mesh vents concealed in the underarms and beneath the back panel. You can throw it on for a cool night run or use it to layer up for those moments when winter reminds you it’s still hanging on till April.

The HyBridge Lite Jacket goes for $750 and it’s feather-light and ultra water-resistant thanks to Gore-Tex’s Infinium™, a fabric designed to hold in warmth and keep out moisture and cold. That high-tech protection is augmented by Tensile-Tech fabric woven into a soft shell that resists abrasion even as it gives the wearer plenty of space with 4-way stretchability.

This is a limited-edition capsule collection. It’s available at Canada Goose retailers around the world and at www.canadagoose.com beginning April 8th.
