This past year I have grown obsessed with J.Crew. I love this store! Everything is so beautiful and innovatively dressed. I love their displays and catalog.

All week I’ve been eyeing their merino rose corsage cardigan. So yesterday after work, I finally purchased it in this beautiful green color (color not shown) . I love it so much! It goes great with the rest of my recent J.Crew purchases.

My J.Crew Wish List

Banana Republic cashmere infinity scarf $98

The infinity scarf, is the update to your favorite scarf. Wear them long or wrapped around once, twice, even three times for a much fuller cozier look. Best of all, it’s easy to achieve the no fuss, chicness of an ordinary scarf, in half the time.

Here’s my favorite infinity scarf by Paula Bianco in a warm rose color. Love the imperfect edges and fullness of the scarf. Pair with your favorite t-shirt and jeans. $92

With the headband making a comeback, thanks to Blair Waldorf, it seems this  trend is here to stay.  Although, not as prominent as before, even Blair is shown wearing less of her signature bow this season, I still love the look. Taking some pointers from the ever-stylish Gossip Girl, I have picked out a few Blair-inspired bands that are feminine and fun.

How to get Blair hair:

1. Step 1

   Wash your hair and allow it to air dry. Waves and curls are always easier to create when hair has not been blown out. While it is drying, turn on your curling iron and put your supplies within easy reach and in front of a mirror. Brush your hair to remove any tangles.

2. Step 2

   

   Once your hair is completely dry, take random, 1" to 1 1/2" thick locks of hair and wrap them around the curling iron, starting at the bottom and rolling up. It doesn’t matter which way you wrap the hair or if the locks are uneven–remember, you’re going for Blair, not Shirley Temple!
   Pay closest attention to the pieces growing from the crown of your head. They should be the neatest. When curling the face-framing pieces, or, if you have them, bangs, make sure to roll the hair away from your face. Copy the picture and experiment if necessary.

3. Step 3

   When you have finished curling your hair, flip your head over and run your fingers through it. Shake it around a bit to create body, and spray your hair from a distance while it is upside down. When you flip your head back up, use your fingers to gently redefine some of the curls and your bangs.

4. Step 4

   

   If you would like to wear your hair down and with a headband, flip your hair in front of your face (like Cousin It!) and use your finger to "part" your hair down the middle by dragging it across your scalp. You should create an imperfect, almost-straight part.
   Put your hair behind your ears and place the headband on, being careful not to disturb the part. Now the fun part, and the secret to "The Blair"…pull all hair that naturally falls in front of your ears out from behind them while maintaining the placement of the headband. Shake your head a bit, re-curl any droopy areas, and voila! Blair hair!
   If you would like to do the chignon, proceed to the next step.

5. Step 5

   Using your fingers and NOT a brush, rake your hair back into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck. A side ponytail is another adorable alternative.
   Wrap the ponytail holder around your hair, and don’t worry about bumps or imperfections. Anything slightly "off" adds to the effortless appeal of this style. When it is tied, pull the two outermost locks of hair to tighten the ponytail. This will also create a "poof" at the crown of your head that makes the style seem complicated.

6. Step 6

   

   Not worrying about perfection, loosely wrap the ponytail into a bun. The shorter your hair is, the less dense the bun should be. Remember, you’re Blair, not a ballet dancer. Any pieces that fall out will look simply adorable.
   Use the bobby pins to anchor the chignon, pushing them into the ponytail holder. You will be able to feel when the chignon is secure. Shake your head to make sure.

7. Step 7

   Enjoy compliments from your jealous friends and prepare an answer for the oft asked question, "How did you do that?!"
