Headwear Happy

I think it was the awesome Judy Blame headpiece sported by Mary-Kate Olsen in the September 08 issue of Elle UK that sparked off my love of fun and unusual headwear.

Then I spotted Cate Blanchett looking cute in a Ryan Styles for Piers Atkinson pom-pom headband in the January 09 British Vogue.


I photographed the magazine, so excuse dodgy photo quality.

And I had fun on Christmas Eve and New Year's Day wearing an over-sized black sparkly bow-adorned headband from Topshop.



Now I have my eye on these fabulous headbands by Jennifer Ouellette. I especially love the turban-style pieces:

Wide mustard satin turban hairband and dark blue metallic turban hairband, £60 each at Liberty.

These are definitely going on my list of special purchases to make (part of a new shopping ethos of only buying things I really really love - more considered spending).

Miu Miu and Marc by Marc Jacobs also do cute ones, but these are much more simple. And I definitely prefer to make a bit more of a statement with my headwear!
