Coquette Has Her Eye On Bombako Headbands

Natalie Zee Drieu on Oct 7, 2009 5:23 AM PDT

It's no wonder why Gossip Girl brought headbands to the forefront once again, but these headbands by Bambako take them to a whole new level of sophistication. Details such as feathers, beading, and ornate ribbons make these a perfect compliment to any outfit without looking overly embellished or gaudy. For the Fall/Winter 2009 collection, designer Abigail Ricarte wanted to create pieces that were fun, strong, and ultra femme. "This season, I was really drawn to bold statement pieces by playing with different textures and heavy splashes of color in between. I wanted to appeal to a range of girls - from yuppies to hipsters," says Abigail. And given the variety of her collection, from the glitzy Night in Tunesia to the laidback feathered Oh Hey band, we can't imagine what type of girl wouldn't be able to find something she likes! Head over to Coquette for more fall fashion!

Remember when you were a little girl and nothing made you happier than having a big bow in your hair? Handle & Spout jewelry is perfect for adding just a touch of whimsy to any outfit.

Inspired by '30s and '40s glamour, they make cute and ethereal chiffon flower hair pins and larger "disco Lilly" poofs that come as a headband or hair pin. They're girly, fun, shimmery and, at under $35, they make perfect gifts for your girlfriend's birthday, a beautifully unique accessory for bridesmaids, or maybe something a bride would want to wear for that special day (say hello to something blue!). Handle and Spout round out their collection with gold and silver leather chain necklaces and headbands, an unexpected twist on the heavy metal jewelry look that's so in right now.

Pauline Montupet on Aug 16, 2009 9:20 AM PDT

Jessica Alba knows a thing or two about being glamorous on the red carpet. But this past year she has been discovering a whole new type of style -- "mommy chic." One thing that all new moms learn pretty quickly is that having hair in your face while trying to run after your kids is no fun. Jessica is a huge fan of headbands, yet her picks are anything but basic and ordinary. Everything from feathers to ribbons have adorned her pulled-back hairline. Running errands around Los Angeles with her adorable daughter Honor, she sported a cute Stella Accessories feathered headband that added just a touch of whimsy to her jeans-and-tank style. To get the look, mom or not, you can get the Madison headband by Stella Accessories which retails for $42.

Still Haven't Decided On A Wedding Hairstyle? Try A Floral ...

Amber Fijolek on Jan 28, 2009 5:16 AM PST

Even if it is raining on your wedding day, you can bet you'll have stylish hair! Instead of a traditional veil or tiara, your wedding can be given just the right touch with a bit of some beautifully crafted buds. Hairpieces can be found for tight and loose budgets alike and it's a perfect way to bring a taste of the outdoors to your ceremony. Designers like Mikiye, Erin Cole, Sara Gabriel, and Laura Jayne have even been budding flower-specific collections for hairdos so fresh they could be hair-dews-- but unlike the petals you can pick off of living plants, these keepsakes will last forever! If you're unsure about pinning one of these to your head, start small with a simple accent, like this hydrangea hair pin- it will add the perfect amount of sweetness and elegance, without distracting from your dress. Some of the prettiest pieces are just a click away in my slideshow!
