I just popped onto your sight today after making the fabric braided headbands. I have worn them for 2 days, have been stopped 100 times with compliments and am making 3 for friends. I think that your headbands are the new trend or summer :-)
I love your sight!!

I really have trouble naming trends - I set my own ones :-)

And in spring/summer I always, ALWAYS walk barefoot, everywhere, no matter what. (Ok, if it's warm)

Not sure if it's a trend or not, but I saw a bunch of teenagers the other day wearing ripped jeans...I kind of like the idea because I don't have to worry if my super old jeans are perfect anymore! lol I also love the idea of maxi dresses and skirts, I'm not sure if I could pull them off though...
