the headband.

Who loves wearing headbands? I DO! I just think a headband adds a little pop to any outfit, inevitably making the wearer look adorable. And who doesn’t love to look adorable? The headband is such a classic look too. So timeless.

This headband, worn by Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf, is particularly stunning (I’m obsessed with the dress too!). The beautiful pink orchard headband by Jennifer Behr unfortunately costs $225… so I think it’s a little out of my price range. Boo.
The J.Crew headband to the right is more realistic for me as far as price goes. It’s from crewcuts (and it fits!) and is super fun! I wonder though, can I pull it off? It is pretty extravagant, which kind of makes me nervous. But it’s just so… adorable. I want it.
This tortoise shell headband is almost a daily staple for me, although it’s not exactly the most exciting of the bunch. It’s just so classic you absolutely cannot go wrong. My only complaint with headbands would be the headache I sometimes get when I wear them all day. I’ve found that the thinner ones are less uncomfortable, but some of the thick headbands are the cutest. I’ve recently become a huge fan of the “scarf” look,which is essentially a headband made to look like you wrapped a pretty scarf around your head. So fun and great for a day at the beach when you want to keep all the wispy’s out of your face! Hooray for the headband!

Marshall Slocum Inn

The Marshall Slocum Inn is an absolutely adorable little B&B in Newport, RI. I stayed there this past weekend with a couple of friends for a bachelorette celebration filled with good food, good wine and good times. Just a few minutes from town you’ll find this fabulous white house on Kay Street which is just the most wonderful little abode I ever did see. As soon as we walked in the front door we felt right at home. Since there were six of us, we had one room on the second floor of the house and then a little apartment around the back of the driveway. SO cute! The rooms are inviting, the beds cozy, the staff friendly and the breakfast is DELICIOUS. However, I think my favorite part of Marshall Slocum was the little porch swing on the front porch of the house. DREAM!

If you’re ever in Newport and are thinking of where to stay, consider this little B&B… it will not disappoint you!
