Hi, Today's blog is about headbands as we have a fair few in Thea's collection!

i say a fair few it could be worse i tend to put Thea in the same few and have a couple that i got to match certain outfits or dresses. 

My love of headbands started before Thea was even born! i blame Pinterest and Instagram i saw so many new born photography with babies in headbands! which lead me to go on Etsy where i bought the first thing for Thea after we found out she was a girl, a white hand made oversized bow from Australia - I could have found an English seller but i was over excited and from Australia seemed more fancy ha ha, i wanted  a simple style white bow for what i kept thinking i would use for her birth announcement pic - i didn't count on feeling like i had been hit by a bus after the labour and c section - it took me four days to get a pic of her wearing it and it wasn't as photogenic as the ones i had been looking at ha ha but i still love the pic and her first headband i have yet to buy more of this style in patterns and colours! 

places i buy from - top place would be amazon- so many choices and designs from headband bows to head wraps which i have yet to try i'm to into the bows to try anything else! 

amazon have great prices for headbands ans most of the ones i order are from china at a super cheap price of no joke 29p and shipping is maybe a few pounds so all round great, my fave amazon ones are the soft washer woman style technically on the website as tonsee rabbit bow ear headband. 

i only bought this style in pink and white as they seem to match most of Thea's outfits and i think she find these the most comfy to wear as she rarely attempts to pull them off!

i did order a red one from another brand but i found the bow part to big and have only used it once so far as the red is more of an orange red i was searching for a true red for Christmas - happened to find the perfect one more on that later..

other amazon ones i bought are a grey and pink one to match a grey and pink dress dom bought for Thea i could have used the white amazon but i wanted something that matched it more, i also got a white satin gem flower one which goes with loads but Thea doesnt like wearing it as much as the others i think this is because its smaller and the material is not as soft as the others! the grey one was £1.48p and the white one was £1.02 both free uk delivery 

a new find for the most adorable hand made bows and headbands which i just love and Thea wears this headband the most is from a company called little dotties bowtique on instagram and facebook, my sister actually sent me a pic from her insta page and knowing how much i love a headband said i should check out the bows as she knew i would love them and she wasn't wrong! 

any headband or bow combo you can think of and custom orders! 

so far i have one band as i said but i intend on expanding this into a collection and i shall be getting Thea's first birthday band from this company as you can ask for custom designs, so to my point i was on the hunt for a Christmas band for Christmas day and the festive season and the bow maker had posted a beautiful set of small bows which was made in headband form also so i jumped at the chance to get one who doesn't love red and red glitter?! i also bought one for Thea's baby friend to wear for a festive baby photo session with matching jumpers! yes we love Christmas that much! 

long story short these headbands do not disappoint they are very well made and a good size you order age according which can be risky as not all babies have the same size head! both bands fit really well and look super cute and this sounds weird but they photograph so well - when the bands arrived i tried it on Thea she was in a baby grow and the light wasn't the best but the bow looked great in the pics and every photo ive done since the band just looks lovely  i cant recommend this company enough! and i love that its a independent brand.

This headband goes with so much festive jumpers and baby grows and even some tops and dresses that i wouldn't have thought it would have looked good with but it does! i'm sure if i had one in white Thea would live in it, i love that it holds its shape and that Thea finds it  comfortable to wear! i love that  it fits well and that it was a great price and its helping an independent company for both bands it was under £9.00 and i think even the custom ones are a similar price! all round by far my fave new place to get bands from if you couldn't tell from my facebook and insta page!
