Dear Confashion: A Necklace or a Hair Band?

I have received an e-mail from rep of a brand called Dauphines of New York hair accessories. What I loved about this brand is that it offers a collection of adjustable headbands that serve dual purpose - functioning as both headband and necklace. Isn't that genius?! You can wear the headband 1920s flapper-style, or the common standard styel, hippie chic style a la Nicole Richie, and finally as a statement necklace.

The designs feature an adjustable band to allow for this interchangeable function, while also providing tailored comfort of fit. Prices range from $70-$225, and materials utilized are of finest quality (natural Agate, Citrine, Turquoise and Amethyst stones, Swarovski crystals, weightless metal chains, minimalist mesh, classic pearls and tortoise toggle, woven leather and suede).

Dauphines of New York debuted via a series of trunk shows at BERGDORF GOODMAN and Henri Bendel. Select styles will soon be available on www.shopbop.com. In addition, their hair chopsticks will be featured in ELLE Magazine's January 2011 Beauty "It List."

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in Miu Miu Boutiques throughout our region.
