If Blair Wore Pink…

She would love this headband! We just wouldn’t tell her it’s from Forever21. I haven’t worn a headband in a long time but I scooped this one up over the weekend because of its resemblance to Blair’s signature red one. I really love it!

$3.80.

What I Want Now: B & S Accessories

If you’re new to my blog, I discovered Bashashaindy headbands at Bendel’s in December after Gossip Girl episode O Brother, Where Bart Thou? inspired me to set out looking for the perfect velvet bow headband – and I found it. Since then I have frequented their website, a fantasy headband land filled with hair accessories adorned with pearls, rhinestones, tulle and more. They even have bridal pieces :) 

Beyonce recently bought 3 Bashashaindy headbands. I’m excited to see what she wears them with! She owns the Baby’s Breath (it comes in blush, ivory, plum and black):

the Lotus:

and the Magnolia:

Their new spinoff line, B and S by Bashashaindy, has more great pieces at more affordable prices so we girls without muliplatinum records can still have fabulously-accessorized hair:) I love this Larkspur headband, also available in a clip. It would go perfectly with Blair’s cream- colored Milly ribbon cardigan, or you can wear it with plain black to make it stand out more. It comes in all-black as well.

I like the Wildflower in navy:

I love the Mum in white because it reminds me of Chanel’s signature camellia flower. Another great black and white one is the Daffodil.

 I really love the Magnolia flower the best :) It’s one of those pieces I find every once in a while that speaks to me, kind of like Blair to Chuck.

Three words. Eight Nine letters. Say it, and I’m yours.

Best. Headband. Ever.

I have a lot (and I mean A LOT) of headbands, and this Bashashaindy is my favorite. I want it in like every color. Pink is my signature though. I’m thinking about maybe white or ivory next!

B and S
One of my favorite headband designers, BASHASHAINDY, has come out with a new line called B and S by BASHASHAINDY. I love the velvet Blair headband I own from this line – doesn’t slide off my head or pinch and give me a headache! And obviously it is totally cute. The Gossip Girl headband is now available in ribbon form in light pink, bright pink, bright yellow, bright purple, ivory, white, black, and gray!

Spotted: A Blair-licious headband at Miu Miu

They actually have several headband styles at Miu Miu in-store on 57th street. Check out this amazing red patent headband – much more affordable and worth the money than the Fendi one I posted recently.

Label Lust: BASHASHAINDY Headbands

Today I took a much-needed trip to the Bendel’s headband section looking for this and of course falling in LUH-V with everything else there! It is SO. hard. to leave Bendel’s with just one headband, but I could only get one today. There were so many I wanted! Pearls and bows and crystals and velvet…

BASHASHAINDY Acacia, $156.

In addition to the links I’ve listed, try Nordstrom’s hair accessories section of their website (which is updated often, I believe) for designers like Cara NY and Tasha, which are sold at Bendel’s. Nordstrom’s in-store selection is also a lot better than their website.

Designer BASHASHAINDY is currently having a trunk show at Bendel’s. I scored an ah-mazing black velvet & ribbon headband that looks just like Blair’s for $68.

BASHASHAINDY, $68

BASHASHAINDY, $68

This headband is especially perfect for me because my deskmate at work and I draw cartoons of each other on post-it notes sometimes when we finish our work, and the cartoon Kimberly always has a large bow on the center of her head because I wear a headband to work almost every day. This is the first one I’ve had where the bow is big and perfectly centered, and I like it. Check out BASHASHAINDY’s website here to browse & shop. The headband I purchased today isn’t on the site, but you can email bashashaindy@yahoo.com for info. BASHASHAINDY’s designs are classic and luxurious and I can definitely see them appearing on Gossip Girl soon.

Haute Gossip Girl Headbands: Where to buy

n25251398506_2303

A lot of people want to know where you can find the headbands seen on Gossip Girl. Most of the ones I own I purchased at Henri Bendel, which doesn’t sell them online. Some of them are from lesser-known designers. For a particular headband, you can search by episode in the Gossip Girl Style Community. And be sure to join my GGHA Gossip Girl headbands anonymous facebook group :)
