All wrapped up with a bow on top


After a shockingly bad week for my wardrobe (a Luella top with a huge hole in it and a Mulberry bayswater bag with a broken clutch, and counting...), Vogue.com's lifted my spirits with one of its latest articles. Commending the art of Deepa Gurnani, Vogue highlights one of my greatest pleasures in life; hairbands, itty bitty bows and cutesy clasps. I LOVE hair accessories, possibly more than I should, but surely the zenith of your body should be topped with a modern day tiara?!? Gurnani's creations are beautiful, and his hairbands have graced the scalps of many a celebrity including Little Miss Cole. They're a snip too, at around £50 for something you will undoubtedly wear again and again and oh AGAIN; I highly suspect the elastic would wane long before your interest in this hairband would. And while I'm at it, I'll reveal some of my other hairy crushes; Marc Jacobs Amour makes me want to cuddle orphaned kittens, Eugenia Kim's liberty inspired band makes me want to go all folksy and frolic with fawns and Erikson Beaman's velvet embellished hair band is the epitome of luxe living. Am I the only one who still mourns not getting hold of one of Luella's 2008 hairbows?? I regularly check eBay in a self-induced frenzy, just hoping one day I'll manage to get one! But alas, until my great hairbow dream comes true, I have a lovely assortment of accessories to be drooling over, and I really hope Gurnani's appearance on Vogue.com gives him the recognition he deserves.
