So last night me [Nana] and my homegirlwent to dinner and we were sitting there thinking about costumes for Halloween (yeah were still kids at heart...shutup!) so Im lost on what I wanted to wear then BAM! out of no where Louis Vuitton comes out with bunny ear head bands for his runway show. Could we say these are a FAD or FASHION? You be the judge

What is it?
A revival of headbands that are cute and charming - think bunny ears, Mickey Mouse ears, cat ears, or other themes that are quirky and cool, and even a little eccentric. If you want a less out-there alternative, try bows or feathers. This is very much happening right now, so expect at the tail end of 2009, though odds are it will develop and morph into other variations and sit amongst 2010 fashion trends.

How to wear it
Do: go for tousled bedhair, a simple up-do, or 60's sex-kitten voluminous locks; be fashion-forwards, daring, and confident; have fun with it.

Don't: spoil it by wearing cheap costume props. The appeal is in the luxury. This doesn't necessarily mean spending bucketloads, just choosing quality materials and well-crafted accessories.

Do: wear it for a night out, day at the races, and any fun or frivolous activity. A big set of bunny ears is probably not so great for the office.

Don't: wear it with outfits that are too cutesy or girly; it's a fine balance between smoldering sexiness and girly innocence that makes this trend so workable.

Who's designing it
Louis Vuitton, as mentioned above, have garnered plenty of attention with their take. But before Marc Jacobs got rabbity for LV, Maison Michel had lace bunny and cat ear headbands in his Fall 2009 collection.
