Any ideas of where I can get pretty barrette style hairclips from?

There used to be loads of these barrette style hairclips around. I used to walk into my local Boots/Superdrug and they would have a good selection of pretty barrette hairclips.
Now, I never see any clips of this style around...does anyone know of any shops or websites online I can buy these in? They don't have to be fancy, they just need to be plain everyday clips :)

I’ve struggled to find them too. I got a couple from Oliver Bonas a while back and from Etsy. The Etsy ones were pricey though.

Cos or Oliver Bonas.

I keep meaning to ask where grown ups can buy hair accessories. I shall watch with interest.

Orelia Jewellery do a few clips - they are asos exclusives and asos sometimes sell their own make. My favourite clip is a brushed gold barrette one from asos

Thanks so much for the recommendations. I'll have a look at their websites!
Crusoe, it is so difficult to find them nowadays isn't it? I used to walk into shops, say ten years ago, and they'd have a wide variety. Now, there is nothing. And when my current clips finally give up the ghost, I'll have nothing!

Anthropologie. But you'll need a second mortgage.

I've ordered a couple from Oliver Bonas...some rainbow jewel type ones.
I hope they are good quality and not flimsy (I've got thin hair, but a lot of it so I hope they are alright).
I have just had a look at Anthropologie ! Everything is so beautiful, but very very expensive! Maybe they'll do a Black Friday deal or something...

Also liked two on ASOS, so I will order those soon as well :)
Thank you so much for your suggestions, it seems like a couple of people have been searching for good hair clips, so I hope other people can find good ones as well.

I'll let you know what I think of the Oliver Bonas ones when they arrive.

Oh watching.
I need something to pull my hair back, I'm growing it so my fringe is long and gets in the way .

I have a hairband with the grippy teeth but I'd like more of a headband . The ones I've tried had a silicone strip but I think I'd have a brainache by the end of the day
