Bow-Tie Ideas

[ 20 October 2007 ]

Further to my outfit the other day, here is another way to wear a bow-tie…

Bow-tie in the hair!

Around your beehive, to secure those pesky fly-aways!


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  2. Lovely, lovely.
    Heres an idea- could you teach US how to get our short hair into a bee hive? You look just fab!

  3. vanessa — Thank you! It’s a pretty rich pink at the moment :>

    alie — I’m very amateur in the way I do it! I just tease it, grab the long bits, pull them back & clip them with a butterfly clip. Though I saw this a while ago… think I linked it, too… http://youtube.com/watch?v=ee_rDSvOSnY

  5. I know! My boyfriend collects bow ties, he has around 170,and in the most amazing patterns and colors, sometimes he goes nuts when I wear them like that, but at the end he finds it totally cute!

  7. :-D !!!

    Also, I will ALWAYS love the knotted-pearls look, and that’s a great photo, and love the green/purple top too.

  11. The bowtie-beehive combination is so splendid I squealed!!!

    <3 Natalie · Oct 21, 02:31 AM · #
  12. I like how it looks, I think that with my very long hair straighthened out it would look cute n_n.

  13. I have tried many times to get my hair to equal the fabulous-ness of yours.
    -but i just can’t seem to get it!

    it looks fantastic!

    <3 Giulianna Rose · Oct 21, 04:31 AM · #
  14. Love it.

    <3 WendyB · Oct 21, 04:34 AM · #
  15. Yes! This is definitely the best way to sport a bow tie, and the most unique!

  16. aurea — Oh wow, he collects bow-ties? He must have some AMAZING ones… I always kind of wanted one that would spin at the press of a button, haha.

    Nadine — Thank you! It’s an Adidas jacket I bought from Ebay, it’s a child’s one which I think is why it is so *N-E-O-N*! It is eye-gougingly bright purple & aneurysm-inducing lime green. WOWZA!

    Giulianna Rose — Another tip is try doing a beehive the day or two days after you’ve washed your hair. When mine is super-squeaky-clean, it won’t do it properly. I’ve started using dry shampoo which is amazing & I think it is helping add to the majorness of the ‘do!

  17. This is such a creative look, and looks like, “I’m much too posh to work out, but if I must, then, dahling, where’s my bow?”

    I’d love to do that with my hair, have a black bow in it. I think I might look like a walking doll though. ;)

    You look super funky. It’s crazy how you come up with all these different styles for your hair!

  18. THAT bow- tie is really cute, but I am totally hating bow- ties right now because I am FORCED to wear a boring black one at culinary school when we cater weddings. BLAH. Having something that tight around my neck is TORTURE!!
    Incidentally, I am bartending a wedding tomorrow & the groom is from NZ. He has such a cute accent, like you! :)

    <3 Ruth · Oct 21, 11:29 AM · #
  19. Too cute, I must say! :)

    <3 Elizabeth · Oct 21, 01:59 PM · #
  20. i’m totally going into the hairdressers and asking for ‘the gala’! hehe x

    <3 immie · Oct 21, 05:44 PM · #
  21. oh my gosh. loving this look ;) its the best

    <3 hayley · Oct 22, 04:44 AM · #
  22. Whenever I try to achieve a style that’s teased out like this (or for that matter like many of your other styles), I end up with kind of prickly-pointy, drenched spikes. How do you manage to get it so fluffy and light (it’s like cupcake frosting!) without it becoming prickly and wet with hairspray—also, what sort of hairspray do you use?

    <3 de Profundis · Oct 22, 08:36 AM · #
  23. hehe thats what i do with my bow ties, I hate things around my neck and kinda hate Headbands! Plus Bow ties are the best Hair accessory around, there bold and come in every colour imaginable to match any outfit! its also good way to jazz up your hair when your having a boring casual day! xxx

    <3 Haels · Oct 22, 09:07 PM · #
  24. simply loving this gala. the hive works well on you, truely

    <3 catt · Oct 23, 05:14 AM · #
  25. de Profundis, I think you need to lighten up on the hairspray a bit. When you spray it, the bottle should be at least a foot from your actual hair. I think this applies most hairsprays, though some vary in strength and drying time.
    Also, in some cases you might have to let your hair dry a bit after you’ve sprayed it, just to make sure it stays. You can use a hair dryer to shorten the wait.

  26. He had search for the “stand-up comedian” bow-tie, but there are nowhere to be find! We are going to L.A. in two weeks, maybe we can find it there, and if there are two of a kind, I promise I buy it and send it to you!

    <3 aurea · Oct 23, 03:52 PM · #
  27. hi wow love the hair and the bow….pretty!

    <3 sophie · Oct 25, 05:35 PM · #

    <3 sophie · Oct 25, 05:38 PM · #
  29. oh my goodness
    You’re beehive is gorgeous.
    I want one horribly.
    but I’m terrible at teasing my hair

    You are definatly wonderful.
