Some mothers of baby girls get exasperated when they’re constantly asked if their baby is a boy or a girl, or when strangers simply refer to her as “him”. When this happened to Ly-na Toye as a new mother of a baby daughter, she decided to start creating hair accessories for her that were safe, yet attractive, and definitely feminine. Her decision to share these highly appealing bows with other mothers led to the creation of Angel Lily.

Angel Lily sells hair bows, headbands, and hair accessories handmade by Toye and made especially for baby and toddler girls. She sells a vast, beautiful collection of hair accessories, including this Sweet Lolita Crystal Headband, which sells for $8 CAD (about $6.80 USD) at AngelLily.ca. To view the entire collection Toye sells, visit AngelLily.ca.

I have never had the patience to extensively style my daughters’ hair, but I know many moms who get great pleasure from it.  Many of them are absolutely addicted to hair bows, and love to collect them to coordinate with every outfit.  I have also seen huge threads on parenting boards about this very addiction.

If you are among the addicted, you will want to check out Cherry on Top hair bows.  Started by a stay at home mom, this company has something for everyone.  Even I can tell that these bows are as well-constructed as any on the market, and there are a huge number of sizes, styles, and patterns to choose from.  You will definitely be able to find the perfect bow for a special outfit or occasion.

I love the contrast of the deep red and white on the pictured style.  This particular bow is attached to a clippie and suitable for infants (hair permitting) on up.  It measures 3.5-4 inches wide and 2.5 inches tall, and retails for a very reasonable $5.  You can purchase one at cherrybows.com.
