Let it be known: Nothing beats a good accessory.
So, we asked tastemaker Chris Ziober of the chic-sational
children’s boutique Ella Bella—seriously, you have not seen
kids’ clothes that are more trendsetting!—for her favorite
head-turning accessories of the season and beyond.
With both a bustling brick-and-mortar store located in Southlake, Texas, and a booming online boutique stocked to the hilt with the best gear, gifts and getups for babies, children and moms, Chris knows how to dress up any occasion.
Here, she gives us her picks for the looks that are guaranteed to take any outfit to the next level of photo-op-worthy fabulous.
1. DEW RAGS
“Dig these dew rags for kids with elastic in the back to stay on their heads. Each one is embellished with a fabulous brooch.”
2. GUITAR KNIT CAP
“These knit hats are just the thing to keep Baby’s head warm, but still look cool! With a rock-and-roll edge, the guitar image on the front makes sure people know this is one stylish baby. The cap also comes in pink and other designs such as crosses and tiaras.”

3. HEADBAND AND GERBERA DAISY CLIP
“Our favorite thing to do at the store is ‘build a bow.’ We take a bow or headband as seen here and add a contrasting flower like this red Gerbera daisy to coordinate for the perfect outfit.”
4. RASPBERRY FLOWER WITH CRYSTAL
“Our flowers come in every size and color and are adorned with Swarovski crystals. These flowers are what we are famous for at Ella Bella!”
5. NEWBORN FLOWER HAT
“This super-cute crochet hat with large flower is perfect for that newborn photo. These come in lots of colors or as a headband, if you prefer.”



What the heck does "Special Section" mean? Well, it means that these businesses paid a small (like, pretty darn small) fee to be included. THE FAMILY GROOVE strives to support mom and pop businesses by giving them a venue for their super cool sites, ideas and products—and, quite honestly, we strive to pay our bills, too. So we've taken seven articles a month (out of 25+) and made them fun and exciting ways to promote the next best thing, much like in the way a publicist would. We believe in the companies we feature. We research, vet, scrutinize, analyze and obsess over every single solitary company that is included in this section to bring you the grooviest of the groovy. We're all in this brave new world together, right? And so we've got to support each other in any and every way we can. We hope you dig our finds as much as we do.
