Go Bling or Go Home, Part I: HN’s Guide to Sparkle Browbands
Because it’s your time to shine.
Leave a little sparkle everywhere you go with these fabulously blingy browbands from SmartPak and Ovation Riding. But first, a few words of advice about how to use your glitter-power wisely:

The key is moderation. When it comes to the show ring a little twinkle goes a long way, giving your look a little extra flash without blinding the judges. In Part I of our series, we’ll kick things off with a showcase of our favorite blingy accessories from our sparkle-tastic sponsors, SmartPak and Ovation Riding.
First things first, be honest with yourself about your crystal comfort zone. Are you a traditionalist who is ready to try on a little shine — but not too much! — or a bling-a-holic who can’t get enough? Wherever you fall on the spectrum, we’ve got the perfect browband for you.
For those who tend to err on the side of modest, you can’t go wrong with a classic Harwich Clincher Browband by SmartPak.
Or dip your toes into the water with a Welfleet Baguette Crystal Leather Browband, also from SmartPak — its delicate arrangement of crystals is subtle but effective:
We love this flattering Pirouette V-Shaped Crystal Browband from SmartPak…
Or add a tasteful splash of color with Browbands With Bling, available in Royal Blue, Rainbow and Topaz & Smoke from SmartPak.
Choose your own sparkle adventure, from delicate to daring, with a Nantucket Swarovski Crystal Browband by SmartPak:
Or lay it on as thin or thick as you like with an Ovation Elegant Browband, available in single…
…and — wait for it — five-row styles.
