24 Ways With A Bow

Take A Bow: a bow makes the prettiest accessory, whether for your hair or your home.

There is something about a bow that always feels redolent of childhood, transporting us to days of tying bunches in ribbons and, on very special occasions, sashes around dresses. And since we never can resist a hit of nostalgia, we still love a bow, whether to tie in our hair like the days of old; to affix to a napkin for the prettiest of lunches; or even to subtly tie up a pillowcase.
