Eleven years ago when my first daughter was born I was hard pressed to find really cute hair accessories beyond those offered by large retail stores. You had a few stretchy headbands, a handful of velcro barrettes and the always popular assortment of colorful plastic (sometimes with animal shapes) barrettes. That was then…Refined Sugar is now.

Refined Sugar’s collection of accessories includes Blossom n’ Bands (stretchy bands with coordinating clip-on blossoms), Sassifier (safe, ribbon pacifier holders), Little Bow Peeps (you guessed it, cute little bows attached to stretchy bands), and Ribbon Headbands (adjustable ribbon bands available in a variety of fabrics). But telling you about their collection doesn’t do it justice. You really need to visit their site and view the online gallery to appreciate how sweet-yet-chic everything is.

When Livi wears her Blossom n’ Band with its large hot pink flower I could just eat her up! And her green and white polka Little Bow Peep has spunky written all over it. We’ve used her multicolored polka dot Sassifier quite a bit, and though I wish the clip were a little easier to attach, I love that the ribbon is a safe eight inches long. I’m hoping the Ribbon Headbands are back in stock soon as I’d love to get a few of these for my older girls (and maybe even one for me!).

I’m kind of glad the days of the plastic barrette and brain-squeezing headband are over. Life–and my daughter’s hair accessory collection–are a lot sweeter thanks to companies like Refined Sugar! –Emily
