How A Fashionista Can Help Japan

Hey girls!

I'm sure all of you are well aware of what's been going over in Japan.  It's beyond devastating for the Japanese. Not only an earthquake, but a horrible tsunami, as well as nuclear plant worries.  How could one's heart not go out to them?

Luckily there are so many ways one can help!  All of which are super easy!  I want to focus this post on the fashionable ways to help.  Take a look:

Headband Help!

Hello girls!  I hope you are having a lovely weekend!  I wanted to share with you an etsy shop that Sherin had mentioned on one of her recent posts!  The etsy shop is called FunnyPeopleCo.

And let me tell you, they have the most amazing headbands!  I'm so glad Sherin mentioned them, otherwise I wouldn't have known about them.  I wanted to do quick post about their headbands because I'm planning on purchasing one, but I cannot decide which one!  It's a tough choice!  There are so many super adorable options!  So I thought I would ask your input.

These are my favorite from their site:

Gia White and Black Lace Turban Headband

$18.50

Ella Red and White Striped Ribbon Headband Gossip Girl Blair Inspired

( I also like the black and white version as well)

$13.00

The Lena Headband - Black and White Striped Nautical Headband

$12.80

Clara Bow Brooch Black Satin Ribbon Headband Headwrap Gossip Girl Inspired

$14.50

Kelly Black Braided Faux Leather Hippie Headband

$8.50

I didn't realize how tough it could be to pick out a headband...hehehe...it would be a lot easier to try them on in person too.  I do want one though!  I'm not sure if the turban one would look right on me.  Would it look funny protruding from the center of my head?  I do love the lace.  

I'm not big on super big bows, but I think the 2nd option features a small enough one.  The 3rd one is closer to the headband I'm used to wearing.  I like wider ones, I only have solid colored ones though. The black satin one is really pretty.  And the last one, hippie inspired, reminds me of something Nicole Richie would wear.  I think it's cute, but I'm not sure if I could pull of the look.

What do you girls think?  Any suggestions?  Which ones are your favorites??

I hope you girls are having a wonderful Sunday!
