Growing up I adored wearing headbands. As a little girl with short hair, headbands helped keep my hair out of my eyes; plus I thought they were so cute. I wore bows, ribbons, sparkly ones, thick ones and thin ones. My two favorites were this skinny tortoise and my Burberry one my parents gave me for Christmas. I continued my love for headbands throughout college. I can’t think of a day where I wasn’t wearing one, especially during dance class. Then after college I was watching Gossip Girl, the episode where Humphrey takes Blair to the NYU rooftop party. Right before they enter he takes her headband and tosses it, saying “no headbands in college”. God only knows why I took it to heart, but I did. Eventually I stopped wearing headbands as often or not at all. Maybe I wanted to seem more grown up….. and now I want to seem younger? Contributing to the downfall of my favorite headpiece, they weren’t really in style then. Now I feel headbands are making a strong comeback in current trends. You saw them down the runway’s of Prada and Miu Miu Fashion Week shows this season. Even bloggers are popping up on my feed with the timeless headpiece. I think a lot of this has to do with the growing popularity of the thick headband created by Lele Sadoughi, that I am dying to get my hands on (I want the white one in pearls). It’s a bold statement that I am loving. I also like this black one from Jennifer Behr. I think it’s time I channel my inner Blair Waldorf and bring headbands back into my life!

Activewear For Under $100
Over the weekend I attended the DanceBody LIVE stream sculpt class (if you want to try another LIVE stream class for free use code BANDBLIVE and if you want DB exclusive leggings for 20% off, use code DBMAGGIE)— I hoped you joined or at least watched! I had SO much fun during the class and gave it my all, knowing that people were watching. Usually during workout classes I like to pretend I am either the instructor, in a workout video (or music video), or live streaming, just to push myself and perform better. In a way I have been training for this moment for a long time. I was completely dead after class, went home and crashed on the couch for a few hours. But it was all worth it!
Am I a Narcissist?

Originally when I sat down for this blog post I was going to write the quintessential topic of how you can still wear florals for fall and how this dress is only $79…. but really you should buy it, it’s $79 with 40% off!! Anyway, what I want to talk about is a topic that has been prevalent in my conversations for the past week: Are bloggers narcissistic?
