The Bandit
A lot of exciting things have been happening in fashion recently and I feel like women are being more adventurous with the pieces they choose to wear. Part of the thanks can be given to statement makers like Andrea Edwards, LA native and designer of Hippie Chic headbands. Andrea started making these headbands with pieces of broken jewelery she had been collecting throughout the years and now frequents local vintage stores and yard sales to see what other trash she can turn into treasures like these pictured above. She describes her influences to be the people she observed and was surrounded with while growing up in LA, and that her inspiration comes from quite an eclectic mix “Growing up in Los Angeles there are so many different type of people who inspire me from the lady on Ceaser Chavez Blvd hustling her tamales to punk rock teenager waiting for the bus on Soto Street”. Pair one these with a simple cocktail dress and boom, instant party success.
I’ve been a fan of these headbands since I first stepped into the Little Dress Shop and so I’m excited to finally share them with you guys. Each one is truly a little masterpiece of its own, and whats more unique than the one of a kind designs is the one of a kind names she gives to each one.
Prices range from $30+ and are available at,
The Little Dress Shop

custom orders and inquires can also be placed at mzdre2001@yahoo.com

Ooh, I haven’t seen those styles yet, they are beautiful! I will have to go by the shop.
I just had her do headband for my wedding, and it is prettier than the dress that I had custom made! I love all the genuine Vintage pieces she uses…truly one of a kind!
Thank you Andrea!

I have had a chance to see the pieces Andrea has made for special occasions; Weddings, Sweet Sixteens, Quincenieras. They are unique and “Exquisite”. The workmanship and the creative talent she posseses is one of a kind.

I have been lucky enough to see and speak to Andrea about her work. She puts alot of energy and passion into each and everyone of her headbands. She is extremely talanted at what she does.

I love these I think they are fantastic, but at the same time I feel a bit smug because Ive been making my own headbands with feathers and old buttons like this for years and someone else is doing it and getting paid haha. Oh well I’ll still enjoy the fruits of craftyness.
