Wondering how to add bright accents to your and your daughter's wardrobe?

With spring right around the corner, the season of bright colors and light fabrics joins us again! You may recall the article last year launching the new company SEABANDS! SEABANDS hair bands were the staple item in last season's wardrobes for moms and children (starting at 18 months!). Mothers recognized that SEABANDS contributed a flawless hair day for themselves and their daughters. Gone were the days of bad hair and morning arguments over hair styles!

Unlike traditional head bands, they were stunning and comfortably stayed in place. An expandable elastic band made wearing them a pleasure! They looked great in both short and long hairstyles and were offered in many different fabric colors and styles and could be custom made of any fabrics that were preferred. There were lots of hair band options too! You could choose from the Classic One-Sided Sea Bands or the Classic Reversible Bands and a personalized monogram line. If you couldn't find the perfect band, then Design Your Own Reversible Band! Finally, if you needed a dressier look you could have checked out the adult premium bands! There were a variety of fabrics and jacquard ribbons to choose and they were offered at just the right price point to make them perfect gifts.

Now come SEABANDS eye-catching belts! They are offered in both children and adults and take the jeans and t-shirt look to another level! The fabrics and buckles are offered in many different colors and textures that change seasonally and with current fashion trends. On some styles, you can customize your belt with either a standard metal D ring or more ornate colored rhinestone circle buckle! These belts are guaranteed a double-take!

Trish Hart's SEABANDS has grown by leaps and bounds over the year and was recognized in the Boston Globe magazine, fashion edition last month! So check out www.seabands.net and catch and enjoy a summer of easy styles and quick fixes for you and your active little ones!
