my design projects, inspirations, & a few personal tidbits

Here you will find what inspires me, and a peek into how I pull spaces together – the good, the bad, and the sometimes ugly mishaps along the way. I sprinkle in a little family life, travel, food, fashion, and party events, too.

Is there a sweet little butterfly/fairy/princess in your life that needs an adorable headband for Halloween?  Keep reading for the easy tutorial (and free printable!) to find out how to get all of this cuteness for yourself! (PLUS this headband is amazing because it STAYS ON and does not irritate baby - and mine is usually highly irritated by all things headware - practicality and prettiness?  You got it!)

uAr2Qj1380510824 Meet my Muscleman.  Yes, this is my child that was holding up his head the day he was born, crawling at five months, and running at eight months.  He has always been full of life and zest and energy, and yes, muscles.  So when we saw the Pottery Barn Kids Muscleman costume, we knew it was perfect for him. Of course, no muscleman becomes a muscleman without lifting iron, right?  So I got to work creating the perfect barbell.  Gather a few items, and you will be ready to start crafting!

Are you thinking about kids Halloween costumes yet?  A fun week is ahead on AStoriedStyle because for the next few days, I will be sharing a Halloween costume from Pottery Barn Kids and a simple DIY to go along with each one! My three year old daughter has recently changed her favorite color from pink to purple so when we saw this Butterfly Fairy costume, she was beyond excited.  Since it already comes with a wand, wings, and a crown, there wasn't much accessorizing to do.  Therefore, I knew we could have fun with hair and makeup. After some brainstorming, I knew I wanted her to have "antenna hair" so I played around and came up with this tutorial for you.  It is really easy and looks super darling!
