It's all on your head

Redribbonhead

I kid you not when I say that on the ONE day that I was at London Fashion Week, I spotted no less than three people wearing ribbondry of some sort in their hair and on the same day on Oxford Street, of all the generic places, RED satin ribbons in the hair tied into a neat bow were seen on two individual girls.  Diehard Kristen Dunst fans or Miu Miu addicts?  I haven't a clue, but they worked the ribbons in different ways so it could be that the Miu Miu SS08 ad hasn't a jot to do with their ribboned head.  In general, I'm noticing a bigger inclination towards head decoration that just wasn't about a few months ago when everyone was in beanies and berets.

I can't even attribute it to Blair Waldorf (Gossip 'X-O-X-O' Girl)'s addiction to her prim/girly bit of headgear. seeing as the show hasn't started to air yet in the UK, though a small percentage including myself has been guiltily watching it on the internet (the hammy acting and the hilarious 'I'm-evil' looks from Blair and Chuck are both joys to watch...),  Ms. Waldorf favours Jennifer Ouellette, who supplied me with my pheasant feathered headband, so their various arrays of mid-priced headbands are a good option.

My own obsession with adorning the hair tends to be less neat/cute and more Natasha Khan from Bat for Lashes/Rambo.  If only I had Miss Couturable's array of pretty/chic hairbands to get the barnet under control and also trick people into thinking that I was some sort of a high-achiever in school (which Miss C certainly is!).  Interesting how I don't really use my hairbands to necessarily neaten up the coiff.  If anything, I end up creating a mushroom poofy static effect, especially after a night out prancing around in a sweaty club.    

I wonder if VV Rouleaux has been seeing an increase in sales in correlation with my witnessing a lot more ribbondry on the head.  Anyhow, this has all been a mixture of random musings on ribbons creeping onto people's heads.  This would have had more point to it had I been able to give advice on head decoration.... advice being of course something I'm crap at so you'll just have to stick to the random musings.
