My Little Man's Fashion

TRUE or FALSE: Little boys clothing are boring.

That's a FALSE for me! I have to agree though that most stores sell around 70% of girls clothing and only 30% for boys, and 70% of that 30% are just so lousy (no offense).

When I found out I was pregnant, I knew it's a boy. And I imagined him being like a little version of Jared Leto, or Matt Belamy, or Brandon Boyd. 

Babies grow so quickly, and though I know it's wiser to buy clothes that are 1 or 2 sizes bigger than your kid's size, I don't really like dressing my kid like he just borrowed his shirt or pants, you know what I mean.

Since I seldom see fashionable clothing for little boys in stores,
I make his outfit a little more interesting by putting on some accessories like 
suspenders, scarfs, glasses, and of course, my favorite, fedoras!

Here are some ideas that might help!

Keep Calm and Be Fab!!



This is Dani Starr's 1st birthday party and my first time to style an event (except for my son's parties). It was quite challenging for me because it's unexpected and had it on such short notice. I only had two weeks to prepare and I had to finish everything while looking after my son. How's that for multitasking?

I had mixed emotions about this, partly happy, mostly nervous.
I named this party "Keep Calm and be Fab!!".
Just what I need to do to be able to pull this party together. 

Prinzelle Starr (the birthday girl's mommy) picked the color combo - pink, black, and white. 

This was the entrance.

I decorated the floor with shining stars leading upto the stage.

Keep Calm photo frames, wine glasses with zebra-print fabrics and fab chocolate coins, plus the white flower pompom. That's just fab!

Fab hats worn by guests: pink-black or pink-white for girls,
 black-white for boys.

I turned this make-up kit into a little suitcase and filled it with fab little dresses and white pearls.

The backdrop for the candy corner was made with honeycomb balls and paper pompoms plus streamers.


The centerpiece was very simple but looked elegant with the white flower pompom and zebra-print fabric.

I surrounded the stage with oversized flower pompoms.

And that's the party stage. That boy just doesn't want to get off the stage. (That's my son.)☺

The party ended with group pictures at the stage.


Glad it turned out soooo FABULOUS!
