Rick rack is back
Even with the adjustable waistband pants, my skinny-minnie still needs some help to prevent the little plumber's bottom, and Holly Stewart of Jane Edward makes belts that do just that.

I admit that the sight of rick rack reminds me of the little pinafore dresses of my youth - in a not so great way- but Holly's ribbon belts changed my mind. The small or large rick rack adorns an adjustable ribbon ring belt, and makes the perfect functional accessory for any little girl in your life.

And if you're coveting them in your size, you're in luck. Her women's belts make a lovely complement to your regular old pair of jeans. -Kristen

Congratulations Michelle R, lucky winner of the girl's belt and headband!
