OK, this is really weird. I was perusing eBay as usual when I came across the exact version of a vintage dress I got at a thrift store a few years ago: this Vintage Mod Bluish Purple Mini Dress, bust 38. As a proud owner, let me tell you, it has the ability to instantly induce fun. How can it not with those adorable polka dots, oversize bow, and ruffle collar?

Bows and ties and knots, oh my! On this year's Oscars red carpet, Amanda Seyfried, Tilda Swinton, Heidi Klum, Freida Pinto, and Jessica Biel were well-fastened with bold, over-sized bows and subtle, delicate knots. Seyfried's festive red Valentino gown won't secure her a gold statuette, but it's certainly given "It's a wrap!" a whole new meaning. Take a bow . . .

Mamas of little girls eagerly await the day that their darling has enough hair to swoop into a bow.

Trend Alert: Bows Pretty bows are adorning everything this season from dresses and handbags, to shoes and alice bands, as fashion returns to ladylike elegance. Big dramatic bows appeared on party dresses at Sonia Rykiel and D&G with metallic detailing finishing at the knee for a classy look.
When we saw these waistcoats crop up on Topshop we nearly dropped to the floor with desire--when we realized they called up the same vision as the Moschino Spring 09 show we pulled out our credit card and ordered one. Topshop suggests wearing them with a full skirt and platform heels and although we couldn't agree more, we think these luxe vests would look great with leggings or bloomers just the same. Regardless of your styling preference a vest like this is an interesting piece to have in your wardrobe. The best part is, it will only cost you seventy dollars.

I apologize in advance if this Valentino Noeud d'Amore Clutch ($1,095) causes blindness. It has got to be the brightest purse ever. The ginormous bow is so Valentino, as is the bold crimson color. If you like to stand out in a crowd, this is the way to do so. Would you clutch this?

Offering flower, heart, and scottie dog designs, to name a few, your dear will happily tie her hair back in these ornaments that come in every shade of the rainbow.
Though I appreciate the way poets twist words, I would like to call attention to their trend setting sense of style. It's all about waxing poetry with big, floppy bows. There's something about this casually loose tie that adds a romantic flair to any outfit. I like to pair my floppy bows with skinny jeans and edgy accessories. How would you wear yours?
Bows can come off as really prim, but not if you have cool stripes to back them up. I instantly became smitten with this Vintage Pink Stripe Bow Blouse, size M-L, not for the bow, not for the stripes, but because of the combo. It's a match made in fashion heaven, really. Plus, the coral color packs a punch.
