Fall fashion - headbands

I know, I know, it's still summer, and we don't want it to ever end. There is, however, a trend that started in Spring and grows stronger in fall. So get on it now!

Headbands have always been my personal favorite accessories. They are easy to wear, adding character to a otherwise plain look. It takes seconds to dress up your hair, long or short, saving you hours on styling. They are getting popular among celebrities, for casual as well as glamorous looks.

Summer Scarves

Scarves have always been a versatile accessory for all seasons. Silky scarves are light weight and cool for the summer months. Choose bright colors and big patterns for the summer of 2009. Wear your scarf with a cute dress or jeans and a simple tee; wrapped around your neck, waist, head, or wrist. Show your style.

COLOR PHILOSOPHY
