Love Island is bringing back the best hair bows in a big way and it's no secret that bows are the ultimate 'it' girl accessory this season. Season 11 of Love Island is currently in full swing and we were more than excited to see Harriet Blackmore wearing the preppy hair accessory in the villa.

Last season during All Stars, we spotted the likes of Georgia Harrison, Georgia Steel and Molly Smith donning their hair in ribbons and bows, so, it's safe the say that the Love Island girls are a big fan. Yep, we've got major heart eyes for this stunning accessory. Looking for extra styling points? Style it with a matching Love Island bikini. Genius, we know.

We've already seen the girls in the villa such as Patsy Field and Jess White make a name for statement accessories. Just take the Hawaiian flower hair clip that's been doing the rounds on sites like ASOS, along with cherry jewellery that's been selling fast. Jess White's necklace has also seen some popularity, and a style we've seen her wear a lot around the villa. Ok, so these girls sure love to accessorise...
