Royal Birthday Party

Every girl is a princess and Yanni knows that! The theme for her fifth birthday party could not be any other but "Princess"! Her guests came to her party dressed in character as well. I could not find a dress suitable for my royal daughter so as the very dedicated dad I am I decided to make her a pink/sparkly/fluffy/bejeweled dress. Yanni even picked the fabrics to be used for the dress herself under my supervision...obviously - as she only bases her fabric decisions on brightness and shimmer.
The royal party was a success as princess Yanni and her guests were very extremely happy!

Gossamery Yellow Summer Dress

So I wanted a yellow chiffon dress for my daughter and because I could not find it once again I made the dress myself. For accessories my princess is wearing an animal print oversized bow headband (Children`s Place), metallic golden sandals a white pearl bracelet. Summer perfection!

Eu queria um vestido amarelo pra minha filha e por não encontrar algo que me agradasse mais uma vez resolvi fazê-lo eu mesmo. Pra completar o look minha princesa usou tiara com laço em "animal print" (Children`s Place), sandália metálica dourada e bracelete de pérolas. Perfeito pro verão!

Embellished Denim Shorts

Denim shorts are permanently present every Spring and Summer for being so confortable to wear. The not so new embellished denim trend that has become more popular since Rose Huntington Whitely wore the beautiful embellished denim shorts above (by Christopher Kane for J Brand) at last years Coachella is coming strong this year again and in a variety of styles: dip died, tie died, with apliques, hand painted, with prints and every thing else we can think of. So I decided to get creative and make my litle girl and fun embellished pair of shorts from some old gap pants she had. I bought a bag of this heart shaped cristals  at a local fabric store, fabric glue at our local Michaels & Craft and made some crafty magic. It is really easy and chip to make a fun pair of this and be on trend. You should try it!

Os shorts jeans são presença permanente a cada verão  por serem versáteis e confortáveis.  A tendência dos shorts jeans bordado não é tão nova mas ganhou mais popularidade desde que a atriz e modelo Rose Huntington Whitely apareceu com este da foto acima (Christopher Kane para J Brand) no festival de músia Coachella no ano passado. Este ano ele reaparece com força total e em uma variedade de formas: "dip died", "tie died", com apliques de renda, pedrarias e tudo oque se pode imaginar. Então decidi fazer uma par para minha princesa com uma calça jeans da Gap que ela já possuía. Comprei os cristais em uma loja de tecidos local, cola de tecido, tesouras e coloquei as mãos na massa. É fácil e barato, basta ser criativo!

It Finally Feels Like Spring...

Here in New England Spring takes longer to arrive. Recently we had a gorgeous warm day and we decided to go out to a park near our house for a stroll and Yanni took the chance to show her new outfit made by daddy! It is a halter long dress with a full circle skirt and short bodice. The straps are braided and they are knotted behind the neck and on the back of the dress. To compose the look Yanni had a blue had (which was blown into the river as she looked down at the water over a bridge - bye bye hat!!!), a golden bangle and a white leather wrist band and to finish off the look this real cool studded blue sandals. The first thing she said when she put the dress on was: "I am a Cinderela!". Based on that I believe she loved the long blue dress and I hope you guys like it too!

Aqui na Nova Inglaterra a primavera chega bem devagar. Recentemente tivemos um dia lindo e quente o suficiente pra não termos que usar agasalho, então Yanni aproveitou pra usar o vestidinho novo feito pelo papai! O vestido é um frente única longo (comprimento super" trendy" para criança). Pra completar o look adicionamos um chapéus azul pra proteger do sol (o qual acabou caindo no lago ao soprar do vento- bye bye chapéu!!!) pulseira dourada e bracelete de couro, e sandálias com tachinhas. A primeira coisa que Yanni disse ao se vestir foi :"Agora sou uma Cinderela!". Baseado nisso creio q ela amou o vestido, espero q vocês gostem também!

Colorful Animal Print Peplum Dress

I really love the peplum trend and I have been looking for a peplum dress for my princess for a while unsuccessfully. So I decided to put my sewing skills to work once again and make my daughter a very exclusive made to measure peplum dress. In my search for material I found this gorgeous happy colorful animal print and had to buy it. Here is the result posted in this pics. I styled it with a light denim jacket (H&M), purple tights (Children's Place), purple studded shoes, white studded leather wristband (H&M) and an oversized flower sequined headband (H&M). Yanni loved it! I hope you guys do too!

Eu estou curtindo um monte essa tedência do peplum and tenho procurado sem muito sucesso um vestido peplum para minha princesa. Então decidi por em prática mais uma vez minhas habilidades pra costura and fazer um vestidinho exclusivo feito sobre medida pra minha filhota. Na minha procura por tecido eu encontrei esta malha com estampa"animal print" colorido and tive que comprar. Aqui está o resultado nas fotos. Pra compor o look optamos por jaqueta jeans clarinha da H&M, meia roxinha, sapato roxo com tachinhas, bracelete de couro branco com tachinas coloridas (H&M) uma faixa de paetê com flor "oversized" branca pro cabelo (H&M). Minha clientezinha e eu amamos o resultado e espero que vocês também gostem!
