Headware
In my closet, I’ve dedicated an entire box to hold all of my headbands. Though it’s been overflowing for months with satiny ribbons and beaded bandeaus, I simply can’t resist new styles. That’s why, when I spotted two headbands this weekend that embraced my favorite trends for Fall with lace and feathers, I swiped both of them up without hesitation.
Inspired by the insipidly whiny Kenley, from Project Runway, I couldn’t help but mimic her style when I saw this Flapper Headband at Shop Intuition. Made of bright green and blue plumage, it adds such an elaborate element to a regular ponytail.
I bought this black, lacy headband from a woman who made them by hand at the flea market. A crafty person could have whipped this up in mere minutes, I’m sure, but I absolutely adored the intricate details of the fabric, not to mention its brilliant indigo hue.
Of course, I’ve already got my eye on my next purchase and think this, this and this are great!

Oh Kenley… I love to hate her. I must admit that I’ve been dreaming of these feather fascinators. There are a ton on etsy.com that I’ve had my eyes on.
So beautiful! Especially the first one!
love green and blue feathers!
the colors look great on you
i love all of your head bands so cute!!!!… very blair like.. my fave is the blue feathers where did you get hat again?
ADORABLE! …headbands give me a headache though…I hate that….I’m trying to come up with designs that clip in and LOOK like a headband but without the band.
LOVE the feathers! I have the F21 bow headband in gray and wear it ALL the time…definitely go buy it!
those are so pretty! i really like the lace one. a nice change from the feather ones i’ve been seeing around lately
You are too cute in those headbands — great colors!
both headbands look fabulous on you! they add an amazing punch of color to any outfit… well done!
oh they both look amazing on you! i adore the feather headband though! it looks fabulous on you! i love the trend.. but not sure if i could pull off the look.. and i concur kenley is ridiculously whiny.
Your headbands are fabulous! Such beautiful colors. I am envious because for some unknown reason I can never seem to pull off the headband thing. oh well. I look forward to what is next…..
i love them both! So cute! i need to go shopping!
Love the blue lace headband…Super Cute! I linked you on my blog post today….
My little friend, I literally was just thinking about you and up popped your comment! And, in yet another act of synchronicity, I have had my eye on an etsy shop with headbands like this, ever since someone posted about them last week. Was it you? I’ll have to look it up… but I LOVE this look! Adorbs. Need to buy, pronto.
super cute. putting a flower or a cute headband just adds that extra something to a gal’s look, don’t you think?
You are so cute and that color is AMAZING!!!
Both are stunners – great picks.
Say, and chance I could hop on your blogroll, lady? You’ve been in mine for ages, for what it’s worth …
The feathers are particularly lovely. You wear them well!
OOoh I’m loving that lace one!
these are fantastic! love the feather one – very chic
very very cute! i love the feather trend!! and the blue colors really pop!! excellent choice!
You look soo lovely in both of these, they are fabulous!!
So, I completely agree with your comment on my pictures from today. The cultural elements make the outfits seem thought out and basically, come alive.
That first headband reminds me of something that would have come out of this era: http://www.flickr.com/photos/22067139@N05/2219826360/in/pool-73155603@N00.
I can’t help but feel drawn to the feathers.
You look gorgeous in these! They suit you so well!
Gorgeous, even if the horrible Kenley was the inspiration. I still love her headbands, no matter how annoying she gets.
That blue one is a great find!
Love the feather headband from Intuition, they have some other cute feather clips too, and they have free shipping. Kenley always has cute head pieces…even though I cant stand her voice!
Ooooo love them both
The first one is ahmazing!!
you’re ever so stylish.
i would never be able to pull that off !
it looks BEAUTIFUL on you.
the perfect touch to your outfit.

The headbands are great, but it’s your smile that really lights up the room!
So, so cute. And that chain barrette at Urban – what a find!
Ordering immediately!
you’re shutting it down with those. ferocious.
I adore these headbands. I sadly don’t think I have enough head ornamentation–it’s such a fun, but small addition to every outfit.
yess i’d love to trade links with you i love your blog
you’re already added my dear.
i love those head pieces, both gorgeous! especially the second one! and the third purchase you have your eye on i have in black. they’re so cute and fun
the first one’s so incredible!!
they both look fab!
I have a ton of plain colored headbands and your making me want to spice it up a bit!
Nordies has some super cute headbands right now…you should check them out!
They are show stoppers, Emily. I think they will be perfect for Perth Cup. Yeah.. horse racing season is upon us and I don’t know what I’ll wear.
They’re gorgeous! I often buy headbands that I never wear because I’m not sure I can pull them off. You’ve inspired me to try harder!
oooh they are very pretty.
Especially love the first feathered one.
oh I see Perth cup mentioned in your comments. I’m from Perth too!
Both of these are so beautiful — the colors are amazing. I have truly been warming up to headbands. They can turn a simple outfit into something a bit more special (and no effort required).
that indigo one is beautiful! i’m so freakin’ jealous x
Looooove!
These are beautiful. & very easy to make!
I wear a lot of headbands, and these by far are some of the most beautiful pieces i’ve seen. Adore!!
