Lilly Love!

Today’s Spring Essential:

What accessory does every girl need in the spring? Headbands! I am a HUGE fan of headbands. They make my life easier. I am blessed and cursed with baby fine, board-straight hair. It is nearly impossible to curl and it never looks voluminous. If it gets too long it looks scraggly. But the one good thing about it is that I can let it air dry after a shower, and it dries straight as an arrow. No blow dryer, no hair straightner needed. But sometimes when I am really lazy, I don’t even brush my hair. And that is when my headband comes in handy. Throw it on and voila, instant hair-fix. A headband is great for ladies with fine hair because it pushes your bangs and hair back off you face and makes it look more voluminous.

I asked my husband if he would add some input to this blog entry. He said, “Sure, what is it about?” When I responded with “Headbands!” he looked at me like I was a crazy woman and exclaimed, “Now how the heck am I supposed to help you with that?!” I laughed and he added, “I had a Puma headband once, it looked good with my curly hair. That is all I got!” HAHA!

Well today I came across an awesome Etsy store. It is called, “Looking for Lilly” Check it out here! She sells handmade headbands made with Lilly Pulitzer fabric. I love them!!! The 2-inch headbands are only $14.95 and the one-inch are only $7.95. They are fantastic. I couldn’t resist and I ordered two! I think these fun, girly, bright Lilly patterns are perfect for the spring! She also carries several other handmade items that are made from Lilly fabric!!
