Bows and Blair

Well any of those of you that know me personally know I am a headband fanatic. I have two drawers in my bathroom full of headbands. One drawer is for all my ribbon and fabric headbands and the other holds my tortoise shell, plastic and neutral headbands. I am able to channel Blair Waldorf as we both hold a special place in our hearts for the best hair accessories. Well, just like Blaire, Hopsy is also one that LOVES bows (did anyone see her amazing, gray, satin, headband worn at the Yale dean's house?). My mother instilled a love for bows in me when I was barely able to walk. I was always wearing a bow and now I love tying bows, but even better I love bow headbands! I have a darling, black satin, bow headband I wear often, but have been searching for something I can wear with everything...not just black. I randomly came across this tortoise bow headband at Calista Cove last night and must order it! Isn't it fabulous?! For $28 I plan on making it my new staple! The little things are what can make the entire outfit!!

I LOVE headbands and have tried to wera them in the past but for some reason they don't work on me! BUT I do love tortise shell for sure--I have jewelry, belts, etc!

Love these! Great find! And, yes I think we should consider moving to the Big Apple, terrific idea by the one and only Hopsy!

I love headbands but I get awful headaches. These are such great finds.

Rachel Ann said...

I love headbands too. Also, I have to ask--could you do a post on how you style your hair? It always looks so great and polished. I would love it if my hair looked so great all the time!

Three may be a must in our house!:)

I love headbands but they just don't look cute on me. But if I could wear them, I would go out and buy that darling headband!
ps. I agree with Rachel Ann - your hair style is lovely, you should definitely do a post on it!

Yes, I love Calico Corners. I ordered a toile fabric there for my sofa. However, I am kind of on a budget and they are a little pricey.

Thanks for the head's up (no pun intended) as my hair is finally growing out into a nice bob and I am back to headbands. I have to replenish my collection as I have had short hair way too long!

By the way, I second Rachel Ann's comment above. Your is about the length that I want to eventually reach and would also love to know how you style your hair as it always seems to be so neat and polished.

Monogramchick said...

I simply love those! I got one very similar this weekend in Chicago at Ann Taylor, but these are way cuter! Thanks for sharing, I'll think I'll add them to my ever growing wish list.

Congrats on your winnings today! Can't wait to see your adorable photo with that great Palin pin!
