Bows

They're not just for Lady Gaga anymore...

Being the girly girl that I am, I tend to embrace all feminine trends with welcome arms. Case in point, this season's obsession with bows. 

I first noticed this trend while riding the bus (Gasp! Who knew public transit was the place to be spotting fashionistas?), and these adorable Prada ballerina flats (pictured below) caught my eye immediately. The picture doesn't do them justice because in real life these are shoes you stop and say "wow" to. I mean, you see flats a hundred times a day but there's something about this pair that really stuck out for me. 


Next stop was some good old fashioned We Heart It surfing where I came across this simple bun. I loved how adding the bow turned a lazy look into something more put together. I immediately had to recreate this for myself. A girl like me rocks the high bun at least once or twice a week, and I am loving the idea of dressing that up. 

I have an old Louis Vuitton bandeau from a few years ago that I had been trying to find a new way to wear and this was perfect for it. Having worn the look a few times now, I can say with certainty this is the easiest way to look like you put a lot of effort into your hair, when you've really just rolled out of bed.


If you're more of an understated bow kind of gal, fear not; when I say bows are popping up everywhere, I mean everywhere! Check out some of the looks below and let me know how you plan on working it this season.
