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!!!

Im pretty sure Im destined to never have a daughter and my husband would never let me put them on my sons 🙂 Pity they werent in fashion when I was growing up, I don’t think my hair came in til i was about 2, so I was always mistaken for a boy as I was so bald 😉

My mum reckons we missed the headband thing by a year- I was an ’85 babe, and I’m making up for lost time!
Before I had my girl I did dress my boys up once for fun!
