This is what i'm talking about...

I received one of my weekly emails from Glamour Magazine today and I came across an article about the fabulous Miss Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl fame, featuring one of her many fabulous headbands. It was the created by Jennifer Behr (Blair's picture was a little small so I included the model from the website) and while I think they are all exquisite there is just one major problem... the vintage gold knot headwrap is $225!!! Seriously??!! Granted the rest of the article goes on to say how you can make one by yourself at home by going to the craftstore and buying ribbon... but then that's it no other help. I get that Gossip Girl takes place in a world where money is no object and an 16 year old can sit at the finest bars and enjoy herself a dirty martini without so much as a doubletake but still. The other beautiful creation is encrusted crystals on chiffon and retails for a mere $595!!

Now if you read one of my first few posts then you would know that I have started to focus my creative nature on creating a headband line. I started it mainly because I have loved the recent trend of embellished headbands but not the price tag (that was when I was annoyed at Urban Outfitters for making it $40... that's barely the tax for the ones above!) and i'm pretty sure a lot of people are with me on this one. Please stay tuned in the upcoming weeks because I will have them featured here and am going to be creating my own Etsy shop! I have found some really cute things and want to keep it all majorly affordable $10 to $15 each. I'm even going to attempt the "Blair Waldorf" above so let me know what you think.
