« Style Time with Abby - Guest Post from a Five Year-Old (52 seconds) »

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a special guest vlog post from my five year-old daughter Abby. She's entering a contest run by The Children's Place clothing store on kids with great style...They're promoting their new summer collection, and Abby was all too happy to give all the reasons why she loves summer, and summer clothes :).

I'm not gonna lie though, I have no idea where she got this interest, genetically speaking. But I'm supportive of her inexplicable love for fashion anyhow. Besides, at five years-old, she's already really handy to have along while shopping. Her dear 'ol mom is usually the one needing vast amounts of style and wardrobe help when shooting Galavanting.tv episodes. I'm usually so focused on the travel plans or getting the right shots, I completely forget to do my hair or put on clothes that match.

Leave Abby a comment, she'll be really excited to read them!

The hat is definitely a great style statement. Love the hat, Abby :)

OMG absolutely adorable! good call on the vlog vs. blog post. part of style is one's personality, and what better way to show that than with video.

Abby, let's go shopping!
