I am squealing over the cuteness of this Vintage Disneyland Birthday party for 3 year old Scarlett on the Art of Being Female because ISN’T IT JUST THE CUTEST!?! With all the new Mickey ear hats and headbands available now, I LOVE seeing the original ears on these kids. They’re so simple and sweet and …
Last year when I worked for Babble, they asked if I was interested in creating beauty looks for Halloween based on any of the Disney Princesses. OF COURSE, I was, because, how fun! And since I used to write for both beauty and style, and love a good DIY, I was able to leverage a …
When I was desperately searching every thrift shop in my area for an Elsa-esque dress and coming up empty handed, I finally drove down to Crestline {just 15 mins away} because I remembered a little dress shop I had passed a few times while antiquing there but had never stopped to check it out. It’s …
While at first I was only going to do the “after -letting it go” Elsa costume and hair tutorial from Disney’s Frozen, in the furry of finding the right dress for the other, I accidentally found a dress that would indeed work for Elsa’s “before – letting it go” look, and couldn’t help whipping up …
Though I had been dying to add Elsa of Arendelle ~ from Disney’s Frozen, to my DIY Disney costumes and characters {which I began last year when I was working with Babble/Disney}… by September, I was hitting burnout hard, and blew it off. Finally, two weeks into October, the fire burned again and I jumped …
I’m excited to announce that the super awesome & free to download Glam Style App has not only featured a few of my fun Halloween DIYs and costumes but also used my Modern Cinderella Costume as their main page for their Haute Halloween October edition! SO FUN!! Below are screen caps from the Glam Style …
First let me just say, I love, love, LOVE the movie Frozen. The husband bought a digital version for me when it was released because he knew how excited I was to watch it… and the last time my mom came up for a visit, we watched it together, and it definitely lived up to …
Nowadays, Disney‘s Tinker Bell is both sweet and sassy. But the early Tinker Bell wasn’t so sweet; in fact, she was a jealous little thing! I’ve taken a little inspiration from both the original Tink and some of the newer interpretations for this DIY Tinker Bell costume, as well as her hair and makeup. If …
I had such high hopes of getting at least two Disney costumes in a month up until Halloween, but have only been able to do one each. They’re my favorite, and super fun, but very time consuming! I am still in love with my DIY Merida from Brave Costume and my Cinderella Costume | Modern …
To me, dressing up is more fun than well, not. So I started this Disney character series {Cinderella was my first} with the excuse that Halloween is just around the corner, but really, I’m having so much fun, I may just keep going after the fact. I guess we’ll just wait and see. But like …
I’m in love with the movie Brave and Disney’s Princess Merida, so I thought it was the perfect DIY costume to tackle next in my Disney character dress up series. My first in the series was Cinderella, and Cinderella was fun, but other than figuring out how to get the perfectly large and rolling bun, …
Dressing up is too much FUN and with Halloween just around the corner, hopefully I can inspire some exciting new ideas! Below is my step by step DIY Merida Costume from the Disney‘s Brave, which can be worn short & saucy or with a long, full skirt for a more authentic look. Merida Inspiration… This …
As you may know, I write for Babble’s beauty and style channels twice a week and as you may also know, Babble is a Disney owned company. A few months ago, one of my editors emailed out this post Sexy Cecaelia: Get Ursula’s Over-The-Top Under-The-Sea Look from XOVain as a fun suggestion and I was …
It’s true I’ve been dressing up as Disney characters since I was an infant due to my mom’s deep admiration of the “Mouse”, but before they were labeled “princesses” I wanted to be every one of Disney’s leading ladies, and of them all, Cinderella was my favorite. I guess I just have a soft spot …
