Alice & Blair is taking over! The incredible hairbands everyone is wearing

We're obsessed with these!

Making headlines.

You’ve probably noticed that hair accessories have replaced jewellery this season when it comes to giving an outfit a statement finish.

From the catwalks of fashion week where Prada first gave us the nod that the Gossip Girl look was back, to the fash pack on Instagram who gave us a real urge to purchase and even to the highstreet shops like Primark and Topshop who followed the trend. Hairbands are back and we’re so onboard.

Not only are they a hashtag lifesaver when your hair is greasy or for the days when your not a whizz at styling, they’re also so pretty and make us feel ever-so-ladylike, darling.

And one “it” hairband brand that seems to be on the heads of all the Irish fashionistas is Irish brand, Alice & Blair.

Made in the UK by Irish woman, Deirdre O’Flynn. Deirdre started the company in January 2019 when she got inspired by the one and only Blair Waldorf to create a range of unique hairbands. Unlike others, these hairbands are made with premium velvet, silk, gold plated sterling silver and semi precious gemstones including Swarovski crystals and pearls.

And she’s on to a winner because we keep spotting them everywhere!

Just over the weekend, Una Healy was seen wearing an Alice and Blair headband to a wedding alongside new beau, David Breen.

We love this BFF look!
