Mini Future Photographer: Wooden Camera

January 10, 2018 by Lauren Barger in Stella Style

I am loving this age! Two is so much fun! Stella is so imaginative and is constantly acting, singing, role playing, and like all toddlers, copying everything we do! So when she started using her baby monitor as a camera to be like me, I knew I needed to get her a camera of her own. Unfortunately everything I found was ugly, and while I know that doesn't matter to Stella, I just can't handle bright plastic and primary colors! I was so happy that I found this adorable camera for her instead!

Sweater Weather: Building Stella's Fall Wardrobe

October 04, 2017 by Lauren Barger in Style, Stella Style, Fall

While the temperatures have been in the upper 80's and low 90's the past few weeks, I'm so excited that sweater weather is on the horizon!! To celebrate, I'm sharing some of my favorite Fall pieces from Stella's Fall wardrobe! I tend to lean pretty traditional in terms of color, but this year I'm obsessed with all things texture. From ruffles to velvet to insanely soft chambray, these pieces are the perfect basics for layering and endless pairings! And even better, all are currently in stores and all under $30!!
