Headbands are the new baseball caps. Thank God.

I've been following the headband trend, waiting for something that I could possibly get away with, you know, as I glamorously work from home and chase three kids around. Sorry if I just can't do the whole feather and lace thing these day…

Headbands are the new baseball caps. Thank God.
I've been following the headband trend, waiting for something that I could possibly get away with, you know, as I glamorously work from home and chase three kids around. Sorry if I just can't do the whole feather and lace thing these days.

But a couple of weeks ago after searching through Etsy, I ended up at CMP fave Lou and Lee and fell instantly in love with their new headbands. Now after a bit of research, I have learned that I cannot get away with the soft style headbands, gorgeous as they are (for little girls too!). However their unique fabric and felt designs, like the autumn bloom (pictured) or my choice, the zipper and felt rosette (in red!)  on a thin plastic headband are sooooo ridiculously perfect that I'm not sure why it took me so long to jump on the bandwagon.

Not only do they make me feel a little trendy, but they're a nice, stylish alternative to the ponytails--and yes, I admit it, baseball caps. -Kristen

Visit Lou and Lee for an amazing selection of handmade headbands for kids and adults. And if you've got something specific in mind (size, style, etc.) just convo them and they'll get back to you with a price quote.
