This season oversize bows have replaced floral blooms as the hair acccessory of choice for the cool set. From the catwalks at Sportmax where the models wore floppy, satin creations to structured preppy bows at Marc by Marc Jacobs or satin ribbons at Luella; the coolest locks are sporting this trend for autumn. Now YSL have got in on the act with their new Christmas beauty collection. 
Ever since Gossip Girl hit our screens last Spring I have considered alice bands in a whole new light. Originally reserved for young school girls who also wore knee-high socks, bows appeared on the catwalk this season at Luella and Marc by Marc Jacobs.
I have a slight accessory obsession so any excuse to add to it is welcome in my eyes so I'm currently building up an alice band collection. 
The wispy strands that adorn wee ones heads can be hard to style. But if you're a mama looking to frill up your lil girl, A Babe Is Born makes delicate bows for your lil darling. The "stylishly sweet bowtique" offers oodles of ribbon clips ($4) to match any ensemble.

Though I appreciate the way poets twist words, I would like to call attention to their trend setting sense of style. It's all about waxing poetry with big, floppy bows. There's something about this casually loose tie that adds a romantic flair to any outfit.

Bows can come off as really prim, but not if you have cool stripes to back them up. I instantly became smitten with this Vintage Pink Stripe Bow Blouse, size M-L, not for the bow, not for the stripes, but because of the combo. It's a match made in fashion heaven, really.

Sophie Hulme is a designer that marches to her own drum beat. After graduating from Kingston University in 2007, Sophie wasted no time creating a Fall collection. Inspired by menswear and military pieces, her jackets, coats, bags, and hats are slightly off-trend and unique.

Bridal designers are adorning wedding dresses with bows, fabulous bows as a feminine alternative to crystals and ruffles this season. They evoke a fun and whimsical look — see on the runway of Monique Lhuillier left — and are being used as a focal point, embellishment, or scattered across gowns for a more carefree look. This is a beautiful and more casual way to adorn a wedding gown.

Woe is me: This Valentino Python Bow Clutch ($1,295) is nothing less than gorgeous. Alas, the price keeps it away from my bag collection. But the disappointment is fleeting — I found a worthy replacement for much less.
