Headbands

If you're like me and don't have time to do your hair in the morning and make it look all fabulous, you can't go wrong with a headband. I literally wear a headband to work every day because it's so easy. When you're having a bad hair day, just throw on a headband, stick your hair in a bun or ponytail and voila, ready to go. I know practically every fashion blogger writes about headbands but here's another one anyways.

Headbands have been in for a while so that means there's a lot of options. Chains and chain prints were very popular this season, I don't know if they'll become a fad but I know I'll be wearing mine for a while.

I love Cara Couture headbands. My favorite is the double chain link headband which i have in gold with Brown and Ivory ribbons. It's comfortable and more importantly, stays on to your head like it's glued to it.

I like these Cara Accessories headbands with the chain print $38.00 (left)

There's also the ol'faithful way of wrapping a scarf around your head and then bobby pinning it so it doesn't slip off. Sometimes that still slips off and is annoying so there's some headbands that just looks like scarves tied around the head but are headbands so they stay. Amici Accessories has some really cute options. There's the one on the left, the Black Silk, Chain Reaction headband, the same pattern as the clutch i posted about before if you want to match. It is $32.00. I really really like Pink Swirl Headband because it looks very much like a Pucci scarf $32.00.

Amici also has some other headbands that are really cute. The Brown Herringbone headband(18.00, left) is perfect for wintertime. Black and White headbands are great and spruce up any outfit with black, white or gray in it. I have a couple of them and wear them all the time. The one on the right is cute, it's the Revamp Radius headband $20.00.

If you want something without print then I really like tortoise shell headbands. Franceluxe has a great website with lots and lots of options, and also some scarf/printed ones too. I have the Hollywood Links headband ($40.00 , left). It's handmade in France and is really good quality but doesn't quite go down as long below my ears as I would like, mabye i just have a long head. The Seven Circles headband is another nice alternative ($40.00, right). These headbands come in a lot of different patterns that are really pretty. Mine is the black and white one with little squares, I think it's called Opera Silver.

I also got a thin black headband to wear when I put my hair up like Sarah Michelle Gellar did here. I got the one on the right for $20.00 from France Luxe. This one is great, it's very tight and sticks on my head and is the right size.

J. Crew also has some great headbands with more pretty prints, but I couldn't find any pictures online. Forever 21 also has some great really cheap options ($3-$5) but I couldn't figure out how to save and upload the pictures from their website onto Imageshack. If anyone knows how to do that please let me know :)
