Omiru Poll Results: Hairbands are In!

Omiru Poll Result: Hairbands are IN


Eugenia Kim Sonia HeadbandWe asked: Are Hairbands In or Out?

You said:  We heart hairbands! A whopping 75% majority is sweet on this celeb favorite.

Omiru’s take:
For party or for play, hairbands are a chic alternative to the standard ponytail (yawn).  For a fresh-faced, girl-next-door look, dress up a sweater-and-jeans combo, or add some sparkle to a cocktail dress with a hairband.  Just choose a hairband that complements not only your hair color but also your outfit.  Our favorite pairings?  For blondes, we like turquoise.  Brunettes, a pale robin’s egg blue.  For redheads, a deep green.  And for black hair, choose a bright jewel tone, such as emerald.

Next Question: Speaking of jewel colors, they’ve been popping up on the runways and in store windows across the country.  Bright yellow, in particular, has been getting a lot of attention (especially when paired with black and white…yum).  But what do You think?   Tell us, is Bright Yellow
In, or is it Out?  Cast your vote on the sidebar!

Omiru Poll Results: Bows on Dresses are In

Omiru Poll Result: Bows on Dresses are In


Karen Zambos Couture Bow Tube DressWe asked: Are Bows on Dresses In or Out?

You said:  Yes to Bows; a 55% majority are all over Bows on Dresses.

Omiru’s take:
For a thoroughly modern and completely ladylike look, you can’t go wrong with a bow adorned dress.  Our advice?  Choose a dress with a bow appropriately sized for your body type.  If you’re petite, for example, opt for a small sized bow.

Next Question:
Party-appropriate Hairbands have been spotted on celebs from Mischa
Barton to Emmy Rossum.  But what do You think?   Tell us, are Hairbands
In, or are they Out?  Cast your vote on the sidebar!
