Trend Alert for SS09: The hairband trend. Yes, hairbands are not just for little girls, they are for real women too! The hottest hairband designs of the season are those embellished with flowers, bows, feathers and jewels.
Character Blair Cornelia Waldorf' in the popular American drama TV Series Gossip Girl lives this trend her whole prep school life in the upper east side. Well, Blair's hairbands are mainly sponsored by Stacey Lapidus, Jennifer Ouellette and Jennifer Behr which can cost anywhere from $50 to $200 each! Pretty with a definite equestrian feel, these bow-beaus are sure set to be a fashionista favorite.
Even our favorite Hollywood Fashionistas were also spotted with hairbands as they so gracefully grace the red carpet and sidewalks. I like the one that Jessica has on; which is by Jennifer Ouellette cost $70. I also found several more designs that I really liked especially this one by Miu Miu which is way out of my recessionista budget.

There are so many options out there. You could splurge on this one from Tarina Tarantino or get it at a steal from Forever 21. For me, I really liked the $167 one but my recessionista instinct tells me that it may be be a little steep for a hairband. The $5 one on the other hand was too plain and mass-produced looking for me.
