Gossip Girl's Blair Loves Her Hair Accessories
Eccentric headwear and hair embellishments were rife on the catwalks during both New York and London Fashion week, forecasting a major trend alert for SS09.
London was definitely the most creative with their headwear, with Giles showing pac-man helmets, Eley Kishimoto premiering an exaggerated version of the shower cap and Luella keeping it cute with bows and lace hats.
Diane Von Furstenberg said it more with headbands and feathers in her New York Show, and Gossip Girl's Blair was spotted in a giant flower headband on the set of the hit series, so you know this is a trend which is set to rocket.
Here are some hot looks from the high-street, which we tip for big success...
Red and Black Fascinator, £22, Accessorize
Who cares if you're not going to a wedding, this fascinator is to die for! You could wear it on a posh night out somewhere, or just round your house and pretend you're a lady of leisure from the 1940s.
Baker Boy Hat, £10, Debenhams
Play it a bit safe with this hat from Debenhams this winter. The cute dogtooth style is trendy and cute, and plays homage to the more radical baker boy hats as seen on the catwalk.
Feather Alice Band, £6, Monsoon
channeling a bit of DVF with a take on feather headbands, this one is a bargain for £6. We think it will liven up any outfit and make a statement, without making you look like you have a bird on your head, like Carrie from the Sex and The City Movie.
Chapeau Claudette Bow Veil Clip, £16, Asos
This is our favourite hair embellishment we've seen. The giant bow is bang on trend and combined with the cute netting, it gives it a real quirky and retro feel. Wear everywhere and feel people staring...in a good way, of course.
