As Good As Cake Giveaway: For Everyone Who Secretly Wants to Be Blair Waldorf...

UPDATE: Andrea's Beau (see below if you are reading this for the first time) is now offering a 20% discount to Big Piece of Cake readers through May 31. There is a promotional code to use in notes at check out is "bigpieceofcake."

Last week, I confessed to shedding many tears over the fact that my practical suburban working mom wardrobe just doesn't allow for the whimsical loveliness of embellished headbands.


Andrea of Andrea's Beau may not have read this, but she somehow sensed my defeat, and sent me a lifeline.

This would be in the form of an e-mail introducing me to her line of fabulous hair accessories. Little did she know that I had already spotted her work on other websites and cursed her for rubbing salt into the wound. But now that I'm all about possibility, I think it may be time to kick that pesky resignation to the curb.

Why CAN'T I wear an embellished head band? I may be pairing it with sweatpants and airing it at Target - but I will look fabulous from the neck up! (As long as you don't pay attention to the lack of make up and the teenager acne that plagues me every so often.)

But enough about me - How gorgeous is this?

Do you love it? If so - you are in luck because I will be giving one away to a lucky commenter.

Even if like me, you just don't know if you can pull of this look, you can win one for your daughter, niece, or any other lucky little girl in your life. These headbands are made for both women and girls.

The winner can select their choice of color:

I think I'd want the toffee one. No wait - the blue. Or...maybe the rose would be best. I must admit that I have a habit of buying things in several different colors...

There are so many styles for both women and girls, each one more lovely than the next. I spent far too much time on Andrea's site to select pictures for this post, and to validate all of that time spent, I will now hit you with an ungodly amount of headband images.

Did you know that she also makes hair clips and combs?

I'm so excited about this giveaway! So as usual, I'm going to provide you with many ways to get extra entries:
