Hmm… headbands
September 25, 2009 § 13 Comments
Headbands, my favourite accessory other than shoes, and who started it all? My favourite Gossip Girl, Blair Waldorf.
The headbands on the commercial market are either ugly or uncomfortable (the metal ones actually bruised me behind the ears) so in usual Angela Yang fashion I set out to make them! I first started with knot headbands, then I started adding bows, and last night I made these:
I’ve now built a collection of 18 headbands, 13 of them made by me and 5 store bought(not shown). Have to admit my collection really is very small compared to Blair but hey, I don’t have whole team of stylists or a wad of money expecially dedicated to headbands. I was going to make more and then sell them but I become so attach I find it hard to let go…

wow, these are really pretty! so do you just buy a pack of plain headbands from spotlight and set off to decorate them?
aww but i wanted a handmade one ): so talented, do you do DIY guides?
and in season three there’s no more headbands for blair waldorf apparently, oh the drama!
hey! so, i think the favorite thing that i’ve ever seen of yours was that black layered 90′s skirt. did you use a pattern?
Well if you don’t sell them how am I supposed to buy them??? They’re fabulous darling. Etsy the shit out of them!
I am totally hooked on hair accessories atm but you are right – good ones are hard to buy (that dont hurt!).
Love your designs especially the red one!

@Michelle I use to make my own but the newer ones are decorated store bought, plain headbands
@Cathy Gossip girl season 3 isn’t all that good. It’s pretty boring and the drama is very… expected and cliche. Thank you, sorry no, I don’t do DIY guides, too hard.
@Julia thank you. No, I don’t/didn’t use a pattern.
@Lady Smaggle I’m flattered, ahh one day, I’m so attached to them -blushes- x
@Friendsinfashion Thanks! I wouldn’t usually wear the store bought anyways. Too…average or expensive
You should so sell them! They’re beautiful <3
I know what you mean about the bruising behind ears thing, I sometimes get headaches even…but still I wear them and often regret it! At least I now know I'm not alone, I figured I must have an odd shaped head or something, ha!
