Headbands

You have 5 minutes until the guests arrive.  Your outfit is looking kind of boring.  You've tried tights, belts, sweaters, but they all looked like too much.  You walk into your bathroom and pull out the headband, girl's best friend.

Headbands can be sophisticated and fun.  They aren't too much, but they will make a difference.  Headbands will be jewelry or compliment pieces you are wearing.  Headbands can match the outfit or bring in a new element.

Headbands came from Greek culture where head wreaths were worn.  The item was soon adopted into Roman and Etruscan culture and were worn on holidays.  In Japan hachimaki headbands symbolize determination.

Personally, I like Jennifer Behr Crystal and Pearl headband.For a more wallet friendly headband, try J. Crew's Jeweled Headband.  (J. Crew always is in on the headband styles.  Try the stores-- the website doesn't always have everything.) 

Headbands are a great addition to every outfit and will mend your bad hair days.

Raina, I love your blog! Who else is going to keep me on my toes in Israel? I only have your blog to rely on. I already feel one step ahead of the game since I own a black suit jacket!

Just had a chance to read the more recent entrees on your blog, Raina. I especially appreciated your description of the crossbody bag. You should most definitely go into sales. Raina, your blog is really quite informative, well-written, interesting. Altogether, it is difficult to believe that you are s so much in the know about fashion, and even more impressive, that you can write so vividly and well.

With appreciation and love,
Amy
