Headband with a bow

Has anyone seen a headband with a bow around (similar to the ones that Blair wears on Gossip Girl)?

I've been wanting one for a few months to no avail. I've looked everywhere - and I mean everywhere - Aldo Accessories, H&M, Blue Ruby, The Bay, random other stores, icing/claire's or whatever the name is... I was going to go into Holt Renfrew and look but as I was walking it started SNOWING so I just bolted home lol. Why it's snowing in March is beyond me, but anyway..

I know that Forever 21 has them - and super cheap too (I wanted one a bit more high end, but I guess it's just a headband meh)... but the thing is, we don't have it in Vancouver and I don't want to order one without trying it on first. They have several options, and I have a small head so I want to be sure that it's the right one. Furthermore, I saw some friends of friends on Facebook in Toronto with them - and I'm pretty sure that this one REALLY REALLY awful one is perhaps one that I like from Forever 21 (http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=small+hair+goods&product%5Fid=1034037692&Page=all# )

I want a dark grey/silver one, as well as a red. Happy

has anyone seen them around in Vancouver?

PS. here's all of 21's headbands (http://www.forever21.com/category.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=small+hair+goods&Page=all)

well, if you have no luck you could make your own..
like buy a headband, tie a nice bow tight and glue gun it on..
orrr..you could just tie a very long ribbon around your head and tie it into a bow Happy

otherwise i have no real ideas if you checked out all those places!! sorry!!

^ dats a pretty good idea i think if you can't seem to find it anywhere! just buy a headband and you can buy bows too i think in arts and craft stores...so you don't even have to tie it (in case you are bad at tying bows lol) and glue gun it on like dbee said

I have the exact same problem! I've been looking everywhere for a cute one that won't fall appart
I did go to holt's yesterday (Bloor street) and they didnt have ANY with bows, I ended up geting a mettalic Rachel Weissman one instead which is really nice, but not what I was looking for.

oh and thanks for the heads up on Holts. I am SUCH an idiot times 2 - LOL..I just said on this forum last night that I didn't go to holts as it was raining. Today I am on Robson and I forget about Holts again, LOL.

But if a store in Toronto doesn't have it, no way Vancouver will. :p

Le Cheateau.. I will go..tomorrow.

^^Yeah for sure check out Le Chateau. I bought a couple there, and I am pretty sure there is still lots left =)

I went to Le Chateau downtown today and they had a couple I may get. I wanted a bigger bow...and the colors weren't great. I did want a red...no red. They had that purple/plum color that was in last fall, but it's too demure. I don't have anything great to go with it.

They had some glittery ones that have some potential but I want a bow that makes more of a statement..but as these are the only ones I can find, I guess I will have to make do lol.

I'm surprised they aren't more trendy.

^I saw those ones, they must be all out of the big ones! They had them like a month ago. Sorry =)
I will keep my eyes out for them, ok?

^ Yes, that is pretty much it, in a couple colors. It needs to be a thinner band (or max. medium) because I have a small head...those really wide headbands don't work on me. Sad

Aww, so Le Chateau HAD big ones? OK, where are the other stores? Oakridge is gone now (LOL and to think I was happy they were leaving - now they have the one item I want. The irony, lol)...Robson was a bust. Pacific Centre? Metro??
