Gossip girl style head bands


Eat yer hearts out Blair and Serena! Inspired by my daughter's favourite TV show Gossip Girl where fashionable and exceedingly rich Manhattan fashionistas sport an array of fetching head gear, I fancied trying to make some fancy schmancy headbands from bits of fabric left over from other projects. I also want to add some upcycled accessories to my collection ready for the Boutique night at Lilico's at the end of September. I am loving these test pieces ...





Rubbish pics - I need to invest in a decent camera. Ohhh and look can you spot the sunshine. It was here for a moment or two.
A huge thank you to Nisha, my daughter's friend who stepped in to model (my daugther refused point blank). Though I had to promise not to show her face because she was embarrassed - as only a 14 year old can be. She's astonishingly gorgeous and can't see it in herself!

  1. Lovely headbands! I've been thinking of making something similar myself.

    Sadly, women nowadays are bullied into thinking that the only way they can be beautiful is to be skeletons. And wear lots of the right kind of makeup. And teenage hormones do not help anyone to find themselves beautiful either. :P
