BBT Style Announces Expansion of Adley Stump Collection of Couture Headbands; Actress Nia Peeples Wears BBT Style on Lifetime Movie Networks Indie Film Dark Desire

Lincoln, ND (PRWEB) February 05, 2013

Melissa Ahonen is excited about the future of her hair accessory company, BBT Style (http://www.bbtstyle.com). Efforts to get the companys headbands in front of Nashville and Hollywood celebrities have paid off. First, with product placement in the Lifetime Movie Networks indie film, Dark Desire, where actress Nia Peeples is seen wearing a BBT Style "Green Flower Power" headband poolside. And also, in a recent partnership with country singer and ex-The Voice contestant Adley Stump to create and market a line of couture headbands.

The Adley Stump connection came about when Ahonen reached out on Twitter, offering to send Stump several headbands to try. Ahonen learned the two shared a love of the iconic hair accessory and a partnership was born. The Adley Stump Collection was officially launched in August 2012 and the bands are now available in shops and boutiques across the south central United States and on the BBT Style website.

Adley likes animal prints, bling, color, and more bling and we have incorporated all of those, laughed Ahonen. Three new bands are in the works; we will introduce them in early 2013. You can expect to see bling, metal and a touch of sass in each one.

Nia Peeples discovered BBT Style through a collaborative gift bag Los Angeles-based The Artisan Group prepared for her. Ahonen contributed to the bag two fun, brightly colored, wide cotton headbands that she thought would match Nias personality.

A week after opening the gift bag, Nia tweeted that she had wrapped up the movie Dark Desire and mentioned she had worn my "Green Flower Power" headband while filming, noted Ahonen. The Dark Desire director had also posted a photo of Nia wearing the headband during filming, which a friend clued me in to.

Ahonen sees her company re-defining the headband as a fashion necessity for active, style-conscious women and girls of all ages. A total rewrite of traditional headbands worn by the likes of Mary Tyler Moore and Patty Duke and a bolder take on the delicate versions sported by style icons like Paris Hilton and Milla Jovovich in recent years; they combine practicality with an inimitable sense of fun and a bit of flirt.

BBT Style headbands answer a more or less unmet need, which is for practical but stylish active wear hair accessories, something that looks great but keeps your hair under control, said Ahonen. BBT Style blossomed when my young niece asked for something she could wear to keep her hair out of her face during sports and other activities. I had the feeling I was on to something bigger, grabbed some fabric, elastic, a pad and pencil and the rest was history.

The headbands, wraps and sashes, along with a line of newsboy caps, are fashioned with luxe fabrics and embellishments and offer the wearer the opportunity to achieve hair without a care chic in looks that range from rock n roll to country to all out Hollywood blingand everything in between.

BBT Style is also in the hands of Miranda Lambert, Lauren Conrad, Allison Schmitt, Denise Richards, RaeLynn, Nick and Vanessa Lachey, Diem Brown, Hilary Duff, Suri Cruise and Jessica Albas daughter Honor, who the paparazzi have photographed wearing BBT Style on several occasions.

Soaring sales make it clear the company is hitting the right note with female consumers. As for whats next, Ahonen says BBT Style will be adding two new headband styles and will be expanding its presence in brick and mortar locations. We are always looking for new styles, fabrics and variations to offer our customers to make sure they have the most fabulous hair accessories out there, noted Ahonen.

E Couture Designs Opens Custom Children's Apparel and Accessories Showroom at Plaid Peacock in Downtown Roanoke Texas

Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) March 05, 2013

Carrollton, Texas-based E Couture Designs (http://www.ecouturedesignsonline.com) has opened a new custom children's apparel and accessories showroom inside destination shopping center, The Plaid Peacock, located in historic, downtown Roanoke, Texas, part of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The showroom will feature the latest designs from this popular childrens apparel and accessory company.

Watch an E Couture Designs video.

At the E Couture showroom, pageant moms, soccer moms and moms on a budget will find a carefully edited selection of boutique dresses, tops, hair accessories and more. Our showroom is where locals and visitors to the area can go to shop E Coutures very latest designs, noted owner/designer and Momtrepreneur Elizabeth Copeland. Were celebrating by offering our shoppers 15% savings when they use coupon code LOVEECD on our website or if they mention the code during checkout at The Plaid Peacock.

E Couture Designs has built its reputation on timeless yet up-to-the-minute childrens pettiskirts, dresses and hair accessories that are fashionable and functional. We are all about attention to detail and quality materials, said Copeland. As a mom, I know kids want to wear clothes that will make them feel special and help them stand out in a crowd, especially for big events, but at the same time those clothes need to last through the rigors and challenges of the typical busy day.

The companys signature colors are pink and black but Copeland happily designs with bold vibrant fabrics of all shades and is not averse to including a little bling too, as in ECD's new line of custom rhinestone tops and accessories. Vintage with a couture twist is how I like to describe E Couture apparel and accessories, remarked Copeland. I especially love designing with Damask prints; there is something so beautiful about them and I think they say vintage but couture like no other fabric.

Since its inception in 2008, E Couture has created a successful online and wholesale business and has also made a splash in Hollywood. Most recently, the company was selected to have its Old Hollywood hair pieces on display and included in industry insider and celebrity gift bags at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards. There, the hair pieces landed in the hands of Nicole Kidman, Kerry Washington, Archie Punjabi, Kate Flannery and Janina Gavankar, among others.

Copelands custom ruffle dresses have been seen on TLCs "Quints by Surprise." Alana Honey Boo Boo Thompson sported an E Couture rhinestone bling top, called Go Insane on the "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" Halloween special. The Company has designed clothing for "Toddlers and Tiaras" starlets Eden Wood, Devin McHenry and The Tiara Twins and for reality television star Melissa Rycroft, fashionista Jaime Hilfiger and Melissa Gorga of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey." E Couture has also appeared in magazines like "Glitzy Girls," "002 Houston" and "Kidz Rock Fashion."

E Couture Designs evolved from Copelands stationery design business. Customers loved her work and began asking if she could design themed outfits for special occasions.Copeland couldnt resist and her custom ruffle pant outfits, tutus, hair pieces and jewelry led to the business as it exists today.

The success of E Couture Designs is a dream-come-true, said Copeland. Im pleased to say we still have many loyal clients dating back to the beginning. Its hard work but it is also great fun. I find inspiration every day in my husband and son and love that I am able to make a living, chase my dreams and passions and be a stay-at-home mom.
