When channeling your inner Blair, there's an accessory that tops off the entire look -- literally. I'm referring to the headband, which has been a quintessential Gossip Girl accessory since the show's debut. The piece of headwear is a crucial component of the preppy school girl look, and who rocks it better than Leighton Meester's Blair Waldorf? The constantly clawing queen bee has sported a variety of incarnations, offering us the everyday headband, the trendy headband and the oh-so-important event headband.

You can shop for the hair accessory just about anywhere, and fortunately, you don't have to spend like an Upper East Sider to dress like one. You definitely won't beat the prices at Forever 21. Their super affordable headbands start around $1.50 and feature everything from sweet satin ribbons to funky fabric flowers. Anthropologie's options are pricier, but ultra-chic and feminine. Of course, if you're ready to commit to the look, you can always go with the real thing. Jennifer Behr is a hair accessories designer whose pieces are constantly featured atop Blair's mane. Behr's Web site even lists the headbands worn on episodes of Gossip Girl, including the enviable pink orchid headband featured on the season one finale.

So choose the style and price point that's right for you and reimagine all your favorite Blair Waldorf looks. Just don't let your new fashion sense go to your head.
