Maybe it's the onslaught of the holiday gift giving season that's fueling my current love affair with bow accoutrements -- they're sweet packaging all by themselves! So if you're looking for a perfect present for yourself (or a friend), get inspired by these pretty little things:
Knitting extraordinaire Emma Robertson's hand-made offerings prove simple doesn't equal boring. Adorn your winter coat with one (or lots) of her precious bow pins ($4.50 at Emmadime).
You won't want to forget to slip on Kate Spade's Large Bow Ring. The glitzy accessory adds the right amount of sparkle to your evening look ($75 at Piperlime). Or leave the decoration to your bag and grab Kimchi Blue's Bow Clutch, which has just enough room for your night-out necessities ($18 at Urban Outfitters).
As Baz Luhrmann prepares to film his adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's great novel, get into the swing of things with this Gatsby Necklace. The shiny mesh bow tie is a fancier, feminine twist on traditional men's neckwear ($38.40 at Madewell).
The suede Sharlin booties from Aldo balance saccharine and sexy. With ruching detail and bow accent, the heels come in a great seasonal burgundy hue ($89 at Zappos).
Bow accessories: Too girly or just right? Chime in now!
