...put a BOW on it!

I don't remember when it started, but my adoration of bows and ribbons definitely cover the spectrum of design - be it fashion, furniture, graphic, etc.  I love the popularity they have gained in recent years...especially in the accessory department....I'm a girl that LOVES an accessory....hello, have you seen the "Model's Inc" closet?!  If you answered "yes", then you know.

I could go on and on with photos of all things ribbon and bow, but i'll limit my obsession to twenty examples of some favs right now:
