Here’s a copy of the article I wrote for www.happychild.com. In it, I actually admit to styling my children when they were babies. The use of a helicopter hat may or may not have been included in said styling, and my son may quite possibly have been scarred for life. For this I can only… Continue Reading
Honestly, if you learn nothing else from reading any of the content on this site, I really do hope this one little pearl of styling wisdom is what you will heed… Just because it’s IN doesn’t mean you have to be IN IT!
