Disney+Barneys

This month our pals at Disney are getting a little makeover courtesy of the fashion high house Barney's.

I love to see what holiday window campaigns the main brand stores come up with for the holidays-and the windows of Barney's New York are no exception. One day I will be in New York during Christmas season so I can soak up all this goodness in person!
 Why hello dahhling Daisy Duck. Quite the sophisticate here don't you think? ;)
Blane's favorite Disney character of all time is Goofy. Wonder if he'd recognize him all Barney-d out in his chic ghettofabulousness above?
And finally, the iconic Miss Minnie Mouse, hardly recognizable in her frilly ensemble. Demure and sophisticated...ready for a fancy night out on the town with her man Mickey. Hah!

I'm not a Barney's shopper, but I find design tweaks on popular images such as these interesting. Did you know that Barney's also has commissioned fancy pancy designers to redo the iconic Disney Mouse ears? Those will be available in stores this week too for all you Disney loving fashionistas.

Tres chic!

P.S. Just so you're in the know, there's been a bit of a backlash over these images from people who say that they have made the characters too skinny thus encouraging the whole "thin is beautiful" stigma. I say just look at it as art and don't read into it, but you can think what you may!

Hooray for Talented Sisters!

I have a confession. I have a design-y brain (I know what I like and how I want it to look usually) but I don't have the technical prowess to back it up. My uber talented, self-taught sister updated the look of my blog last night and I love it. It's funny because she didn't really ask me what I wanted, but I've been going a wee bit overboard on loving chevron striped anything for our upcoming nursery and J just knew it would be fitting for my blog as well. Gotta love a sister who knows you that well!
I like fresh starts. It may seem menial, but the simple redesign of the blog motivates me to re-jump into posting on a more regular basis. Don't quote me on that last line...we'll see how I'm feeling tomorrow ;). 

"His mercies are new every morning. Great is His faithfulness!"

Welcome, Spring.
