Since Toby arrived on the scene, I’ve worn a ponytail almost every day. So, in an effort to jazz things up, I was happy to come across this idea of using a piece of fabric instead of a hair tie. Simple and pretty, don’t you think?

Indeed, that is pretty. I also love the red hair – always wanted red hair!

It’s been named by Toys ‘R Us as one of the top 15 holiday toys of 2010 and is already flying off the shelves—a few popular designs like the pillow pets Ms.Lady Bug is already sold out! Luckily, there are over two dozen other animal designs available, so you should be able to find the perfect pet for your kid.
Absolutely! And love the 1/2 braid, 1/2 pony composition – keeps it interesting! :)

oh how i would love to pick up a few things to welcome my nephew-to-be (due next month). i don’t mean to be competitive, but i just know he’ll be the cutest little boy ever (although toby sets the bar pretty high). :)
lovely idea!
very pretty! i wonder if you could adapt these fabric twist ties for that purpose…

so clever
sooo cute!
Hmmm, this reminds me too much of the scrunchies I wore in the early 90’s.
utterly adorable! good idea!
have you ever seen alexa chung’s kleenex hair bow? http://www.vogue.co.uk/photo-blogs/alexa-chung/100204-alexa-chung-day-2.aspx adorable and genius!
My Christmas TOAST catalog came today and now I’m even more excited to see your gift guides. I guess i’ll make a pot pie until then. oh and cute ribbon tie.
unique! perfect.
Love this idea.So simple. i have some black liberty of london scraps that I just saved in a bag, because even the scraps are too pretty to throw away. I may try this tomorrow;)
yes and limitless choices of pattern and color!
Looks nice. Should be good for your hair too.
wow! i’ve seen a bunch of girls here in italy do that too! :)
So simple, yet so pretty.
That’s super cute! I sometimes tie some raffia around a low-pony to give it a little bit of island flare too!

I agree it reminds me of a scrunchie…I wore those in middle school and I hope they don’t come back. If you choose the right fabric so it doesn’t look like a scrunchie, though, it would be cute!
Check out the bunting I made! I think you’ll like it :)http://selfishlyhappy.blogspot.com/2010/11/craft-advent-bunting.html

amy, i’m so glad you like the cords! and anonymous,haha, thanks! i love amanda peet.
Well two thumbs up because that was a great way to spice up the ponytail. Super cute.
It sort of reminds me of a scrunchie!?!?! are those coming back?
P.S. Joanna – I was roaming around people.com and decided you look so similar to Amanda Peet! You and her are so beautiful!
I really like ponytails..There is an elegant mystery in this weaving..Its like we Knit a story..like our thoughts are expressed silently in those soft formations..
I have a dear japanese friend and every morning she would look outside the window and braid her very long hair on one side..
I once saw a lady in her 90’s here in Greece,up on a village dressed in black with two white long braids coming down up to her knees..Her personal beauty element together with her soft and full of heart smile..
Just discovered your so inspirational blog.
May you and your little one and your husband be well and happy always!
If ever you have the time to come by my little bloghouse It would make me very happy!

Simple and pretty indeed and so many possibilities !
I adore how simple and sweet this looks. She has the prettiest hair colour:) Aww..Kisses
simple and adorable!!
happy monday!!
xx’s
Great idea!! I just bought a ton of fabric on black friday and am looking for things to use it for! ha.
she has got really beautiful hair
simple & cute! love it.
oh i love this – it looks so effortless and chic.
Absolutely, much cuter. I ended up cutting my pony tail off, after the two boys arrived I am sort of craving long hair again:)
Very cute!
Love it-my kids are 10 and 13, and I still rely on a pony tail most days.
btw-the gap cords are awesome! Thank you for the recommendation! They were on sale this past weekend, and you are right-super flattering!
I totally agree with you here J . . . simple and great!! So cute
This is so cute, I’ve always worn my hair with a ribbon – when I do I feel like a child again.
Love, Hannie

Lovely, I also love the braid and red hair ! so pretty xx
lovely – i’d do it but would also need a little hair tie underneath.
Really pretty. Not sure if I could pull it off…it could end up looking like one of those huge scrunchies from elementary school on me! XO Jill
Amazing! So sick of hair ties, and bows are too bulky under hats.
great idea, alex!
Yes! They are selling some pretty velvet ribbon at Anthro right now that would fit the bill beautifully.
tory burch just did a post on her blog about jazzing up the ponytail but leaving a strand of hair out of the ponytail and then wrapping it around the hairtie. I tried it last night and it looked surprisingly chic. And ps. I’ve been doing the french bun since you posted about it ages ago.
love this idea – simple way to add some pattern to an outfit.
Adorable! I love it!
So darling!x
love it, so simple, why haven’t i thought of this before??
I love that hair COLOR! I’m thinking of going ginger in the Spring…
Really great idea! Now I will know what to do w/extra fabric pieces! Thanks!
Cute!!! I do this. It’s a nice way to spice up your hair!! =)
Yes I do like. Love in fact.
Very pretty and a great way to replace the original pony tail.
Super cute, Joanna! :)
love it!! so cute! i wish i knew how to french braid…
This is fantastic and beautiful !!
Pretty fabrics make everything that much better! We just discovered your blog, and it’s really wonderful.. we’ll be following for sure!
Cheers!

How cute!
PS- I’m pretty pumped about the gift guide this year : )
For all of us with kids this is a great idea. Much better than just your regular rubber band and not dated like those scrunchies of the 80s.
pretty! reminds me of twistband, but you can use fabric you already have!
Cute :)
love it!!

It's been a hard start to the year...
