Jennifer Behr's neon orchid headband is perfect for a contemporary take on pin-up girl styling. The flower is made from patent leather which is backed with two layers of silk. As it's hand-made, no headbands will ever be exactly the same.
The colour shown here is 'acid' and equally colourful versions are also available in electric blue, silver and shocking pink or, for the less brave, black or a more subdued pink. Each headband costs $225.
