Bow-Wow-Wow

No, I don't mean the sound a dog makes. I mean the fabulous accessory that seems to be popping up everywhere lately from headbands to dresses. I don't know about you, but I've developed quite a liking for bows, and can't help but fight the urge to include at least one in all of my outfits.
They're just too cute to pass up, and can add a burst of color and personailty to an otherwise bland ensemble.

Marc Jacobs displayed a few on his dresses in his Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2008 collection (left) as well as in the form of head pieces in his Marc Jacobs Spring 2008 collection (right).

Apart from this, take a look at Leighton Meester's character, Blair Waldorf (below, left), on television's hit show Gossip Girl. Her red bow headband pops, and adds that chic flair that is undeniably Blair. The headband adds to her preppy, chic look, and has fans envying her sophisticated style.

Want to incorporate this cute accessory into your wardrobe? There are multitudinous opitions for any style. Borrow Blair's way and wear a headband, or take inspiration from Marc and wear a bow-bedecked dress or blouse. You can even do it DIY style: make your own out of ribbon, and apply anywhere.

My top bow picks: L'Autre Chose Shoes One Band Flat Sling Back Sandal, Mara Hoffman Bustier Cloud Dress, Development Cap Sleeve Blouse (all shown above)
