Flashback : The Royalty Shop Headbands
I thought a good way of properly introducing myself to you, would be to share things I’m very passionate about. I love crafting and designing things, whether its with fashion, graphic work, and even home decor. I used to run a store named The Royalty Shop. It started during the Gossip Girl era. I wanted to buy headbands like the ones from Gossip Girl and Jennifer Behr but it wasn’t available in the country at that time. So I decided to create hair accessories inspired by them for fun, a lot of girls liked it, and later on launched The Royalty Shop.
After awhile I needed to attend to some personal matters and had to close the shop. Eventually the websites that stored most of the shops known pictures and features were taken down. So I thought re-posting them here can also be fun way of remembering it.

SOME PRESS FEATURE
I’m very grateful for its success and happy that lots of girls loved the headbands. The shop was also featured on a couple of magazines, newspapers, radio, TV shows, and also on some of my favorite blogs back then. :)
Ah it’s good to reminisce. Writing this post got me a bit nostalgic.
Have a great day everyone! :)

Wow! Galing!! Why not revive it in Etsy? This time, you can open it even in the international market :)
I remember those headbands. Correct me if I'm wrong, I read in a magazine that Kirsten Dunst and Anne Curtis have the same headband that cost a whooping Php 30k. It's super nice but so expensive!!!
Thanks Diane! maybe sometime soon :) i think you're talking about the Jennifer Behr headbands. I agree they are really expensive but so so pretty :)
Welcome back to blogging! and wow, what headbands!!

Aww I wish I couldve gotten that Queen B headband. Looks amazing and I cant seem to find anything like it ANYWHERE. Late to the party, but just wanted to say it as I came across it. :D
You havent started your shop again by chance, since the last response in February?
Thank you! Unfortunately I haven't yet, but since I get questions about the headbands often I accept special orders of past designs and some new designs for weddings whenever I can. If you're interested you can contact me through email – queenofallyousee@gmail.com :)
