La Reunion, 1827.

Another example of one of my favorite accessories: the hairstyle (and hat) piercing arrow!

(And I’ll say it again:  WHAT IS UP WITCHOO LATE-1820s-HAIR?)

I was just looking at a painting that featured this strange little accessory yesterday!

Lady’s Magazine, August 1834. 

Look at the little arrows through their buns <3

These were definitely a fad in the early part of the 19th century- I love them!
