3.1 PHILLIP LIM Faux Python Hairband

If you haven’t worn a headband since primary school (hehe) then now is the time to think again.
Once the domain of Catholic schoolgirls, hairbands have had a serious style makeover and are now a firm favourite with stylish ladies everywhere. And they have been shown all over the runways this Fall, too.
What makes hairbands so popular is that they can be worn with any length of hair, and can help to transform an outfit.
The wonderful thing about this faux python headband from 3.1 Phillip Lim, besides the amazing python print and black stone detailing, is that it is very lightweight -- which your head will definitely appreciate :-)
Keep clothing and jewellery simple to avoid looking like a Christmas tree.
