Fashion Highlight: Hairband/headband love

April 12, 2010

I’ll admit it, I’m no Blair Waldorf, but I’m just magnetically drawn to random hairbands.  Is it too girly or trendy?  Whatever, if I like it, I’ll rock it because it’s a great accessory.

Floral
Delicate dahlias on a satin string, how reminiscent of spring!

Only $9.99 here

A delicate tulle flower on a string of pearls – perfect for some high tea styling!

Only $10.15 here

Embellished
I love the range of embellished options, including pearls (sigh I regret not picking this up before).

$3.80 here

I love the fresh, nymph-like look with crystals, pearls, and leaves.

$37 here

Structured
I saw a few beautiful structured felt pieces from some sellers in Spitalsfields Market in London.  I was bummed that I couldn’t find them when I returned but found some great options online.

This satin number is polished and slick in a good way.

$3.80 here – how does Forever 21 do it?!

This vintage, refashioned tie seems kinda perfect for a picnic or day out with the ladies.

$31 here

Statement

Sequins + bows = girly and fun headband

$16.99 here

Formal
I had Jennifer Behr on my wedding registry.  Yes, she isn’t cheap, but I love her simple and chic crystal embellishments.  Her crystal hair bands are pretty extraordinary.  There are occasional discounts and she had a lovely sample sale for Haiti relief a few months ago so keep an eye out!

Here is a less expensive but still lovely grosgrain and crystal option.

  $122 here

You had me at pink Swavoroski crystals…lustworthy indeed

Found here for £136.60
Etsy of course has some divine options.  I discovered Lottie-Da and my lovely blogger buddy, the Thirty Something Bride, is giving away a satin and crystal hair accessory from Lottie-Da’s shop.

Isn’t it lovely?  Head on over to my  lady’s blog for your chance to enter!  It’s the last day!

Are there any other hairband/headband designers you love?

    Wow – the F21 structured one looks much more expensive than it is!

    I am SO obsessed with headbands. They are fabulous and hide the fact that you haven’t washed your hair that day 😉

    I love all of these!! F21 is great, as is H&M which sometimes has some cute headbands!

  • honey my heart April 12, 2010 at 04:31

    so many pretty headbands 🙂 the pearl one has to be my favorite. i wish i could wear headbands, but they just push too much into my huge head that i can’t 🙁

    ps love the gg reference 😉

    Cute post! Most headbands I find a bit too girly for my everyday style, but I do feel a weakness in my restraint when I look at those pearl and feathered ones!

    I LOVE them ALL. So pretty.

    I love headbands! I have something similar to the feather one, and wear it as often as I can get away with!

  • bridechic April 12, 2010 at 15:17

    You’re right headbands are popular now and very easy to wear. A couple of my clients got into headbands on their wedding day.

  • Erika April 12, 2010 at 15:27

    I absolutely ADORE Jennifer Behr’s headpieces; though, in this case, I think I want the Lulu’s and Lottie-Da bits – absolutely gorgeous!! 🙂

  • THE ALTERNATIVE WIFE April 12, 2010 at 20:12

    Love them all! Esp the dahlia one. And only $9.99?!?! Amazing! Wish I could pull it off….
