Rosie has a vast collection of headbands.
Often when we’re out, strangers ask me ” How do you get her to keep her headband on?”.
A wise friend told me when I was pregnant, to get her used to accessorising early on. When we brought Rosie home mere hours after her birth, she was sporting a headband.
After all the oohing and ahhhing was over, I removed her headband that day to discover a nasty little imprint on her head. From where the join behind the motif was attached. I was devastated. My poor bubba! Massive facepalm.
So I’ve been on a mission to find comfortable, safe headbands and I’ve developed a little checklist: (yes means good).
Is the join concealed by felt or other material for cushioning?
Is there no join?
Are all pieces/petals etc secured safely?
Is the headband flexible and loose enough?
I recently discovered a beautiful little children’s boutique at The Wharf, Mooloolabah, quite by accident. Inside I met the lovely owner of Isla and Me, Amy.
I bought a couple of things but my favourite is this super comfortable, safe and stylish headband!
I so absolutely love it! Just beautiful, and Rosie loves wearing it. It’s at the top of the headband rotation (and I think the other wallflower headbands are beginning to get a bit jelly!).
Anyway, pop in to Isla and Me if you’re up the coast.
And if you’re not… well there’s good news! Amy sells directly through her Facebook page at:

Beautiful headbands! Great competition! This is definitely true for us – whenever I try to put something on my little 10 month old be it headbands, beanies or hats – she always pulls it off!!!! Maybe I just have to persist! 😉 Rosie is sporting those headbands like a pro! 🙂 Gorgeous!

Oh that is beautiful! I was a huge fan of head bands when my girls were little too. Mostly because they had no hair and people had to know they were girls!!!
