Each new phase of motherhood brings joys…and maybe a few frustrations;). Right now I’m trying to maneuver through the expressive “tween” years. I’ve figured out in parenting my daughters that this phase is all about fashion and friendships. If I had stopped to remember back when I was their age this would have been obvious!Gone are the days when mom shops her fancy for her kiddos wardrobe without them. Tweens want to express their individuality and are adamant about choosing what they wear. Clothing and accessories tell the world who they are and how they’re feeling at the moment. Some days they’re all sporty + comfortable in jeans and ponytail and other days its girly dresses and curled hair. I know something important is going on when they start primping in front of the mirror.As my daughters have gotten older, I’ve found that age appropriate hair accessories, in particular, are challenging to find. My girls aren’t babies in need of the big floppy bows but still are in need of maintaining their hair, keeping it out of their eyes. I’ve found the perfect company to help me with this dilemma. Jolie, USA creates the most lovely hair accessories that are perfectly in style, which is what my girls desire, and will give them a cute put together look, which I desire.
Jolie was founded by Elizabeth Powell, mother of 4, who started creating unique, easy-to-wear hair accessories for herself that could give her a fashionable look without taking precious time to style. “Jolie is for the casual, yet fashion forward woman. Our hair accessories are fun & creative and can make your look come together at the right price”. Jolie products are handcrafted in the USA. ~ Jolie USAMy middle school daughter couldn’t wait to wear her new Jolie hairbands to school. Not only did Miss M love them but so did her friends. She said she received compliments all day long (Bonus: remember how I said friends were important….positive feedback= more confidence). The Mia hairband has a beautiful handmade rhinestone jewel applique with just the right amount of bling for my girl. The peach color ribbon band is on trend with the vintage vibe. Miss M said it stayed put throughout the day, too. She also received the Coco Couture headband which is just as classy, but slightly more dressed up with its velvet band and rows of infinity symbol shaped rhinestone applique. It’s perfect to wear on an evening out. My youngest daughter wasn’t left out; she received three Jolie Knotty Ties in hot pink and cream colors fabulously bejeweled as well. Made of stretchy ribbon, like the Mia hairband, they’re wonderful because they slide in and out easily without pulling or tearing her hair. I’ve noticed a trend lately where gals are wearing hair elastics as bracelets up their wrists at parlor. Knotty Ties are perfect for this usage and add a bit of sparkle like real bracelets.
