Children’s Fashion

The Disney dynasty (Cinderella, Belle, Rapunzel, Ariel), my daughter lip-syncs their songs, crayon fills their likenesses, and stores their signatures. But I want Coco to be the heroine of her own fairytale. Trusting that she is brave and strong and beautiful. I want her to be messy and make mistakes, to love her scabby knees as much as her glossed lips. So I joined the team of Red Poppy Photo and Beth Allen Art, fellow moms and artists, to art direct and stage a photoshoot at the Uptown Plaza Shopping Center (currently under renovations) to showcase two petite princesses in My Little Jules princess-worthy collection from Tutu Du Monde and Joyfolie.

Color Palette

Since clothes offer plenty of color, texture, pattern, and general visual impact, keep the rest of your closet colors relatively simple and subtle. For the boys we opted for navy and creme stripes and gold metallic triangles by Urban Walls.

Accessorize

Little details can make a huge impact in a small space. We added custom drawer pulls to our custom closet system. They’re perfect for a the toddler-preschooler pair and can be switched out as the boys grow and mature.

Functional Display

Carefully executed closet systems can manage functional storage with a little room left over for fun. Displaying some of the boys’ heirloom toys creates a completely unique space that belongs to the boys physically and psychologically.

Sensory Experience

I regularly encourage clients to add welcoming sights, sounds, textures, and even smells to their closet. It helps to transform the daily dress routine into some welcoming and rejuvenating. I wanted to help Levi and Oscar identify themselves as non-stinky creatures, which is a feet considering the amount of smelly shoes and dirty diapers that regular visit this closet. A simple air freshener can help create a fresh environment without introducing the danger of candles.
