recently, i ventured into Popina Swimwear to try on swimsuits (yes, i know – i am very, very, VERY brave).  such a darling shop and i was thrilled to find several suits that would work for both Operation Post-Pregnancy Cover-up and Yessirre, I Can Nurse My Baby in this Suit Without Exposing My Entire Rack.  Plus – i’d like to wear this suit beyond the nursing time frame -and my Jantzen Vamp does just that (on a side note – Jantzen originated here in Portland!).

but this post isn’t about my darling, retro-inspired new swimsuit.  it’s about the headband i bought at check-out.  i adore headbands and have a ton made by my dear friend Helen with Cookie & the Dude (another great buy, by the way).  these were different than all my others- they have a little elastic at the bottom and at a retail price of $12.50 – it was a very easy add-on.  i didn’t even flinch.

and did i mention these headbands are reversible? it’s like two in one.  every shop should sell these!!  they’re made here in Portland by Ginza Girl Designs. You can choose your fabrics or Elita can create an assortment to match the flavor of your store.  i wanted dozens of these – all the fabrics are really great.  and they’re comfortable.  she makes them for women and girls  – and no minimums!  you really can’t go wrong – these are a clear winner!!

Buyers: contact Elita to get these darlings in your store:  ehill@ginzagirldesigns.com

Shoppers: tell your favorite boutiques to order these!  they are only available in Portland right now at select boutiques as noted on her website.
