After so many years testing products dubbed the “next big thing,” I’ve turned into that skeptical editor who’s heard it all a million times before. Just call me picky Nicki. It takes more than a fancy catch phrase to capture my attention. So on those few occasions when I discover something that’s special enough to get me hooked, I can’t wait to share.
My favorite, new discovery is the Dauphines of New York headbands. In addition to being gorgeous – they double as necklaces. Designer Summer Rej, a young 20-something who got her start working on the advertising side of fashion magazines launched the first collection in 2010, and it’s been full steam ahead ever since.
The headbands retail from $80-$225 and have an adjustable band in the back so you can customize the size according to how you’re wearing the accessory. From Ikat prints to metal chains and semi-precious stones, there are more than enough styles, colors and textures to choose from. I have the red Regal Countess, (shown right in blue) which is understated, simple and works for everyday. I’m dying over the Rock Goddess Bohemian-Luxe (shown above). It would look amazing worn as a necklace! There’s even a stunning bridal collection.
You can buy these headbands online at Shopbop.com. To see all of the latest styles, visit dauphinesofnewyork.com. P.S. The fall designs are set to debut soon!
