So these amazing hair accessories that I just discovered? Well, they're nothing short of miraculous.

[don't miss a special offer after the jump]

Ribbies Clippies, a longtime CMP fave, were created by a pair of sisters who went from their kitchen counter with piles of grosgrain ribbon to a thriving business of some of the loveliest hair thingies around, all distributed in nine countries.

Their newest line of girls' hair accessories features soft felt cut into roses, peonies, and hydrangeas, which are secured onto sturdy-but-soft ponytail holders and stretchy headbands. They're totally "ooh!"-worthy, and also surprisingly hurt-free. I mean, my daughter actually wore one of the headbands (on her head) until bedtime.

I might even coopt that blue rose headband myself. You know, on those days that I might happen to feel a bit sheepdoggy. -Lexi
