A Singular Sense of Style

"Fashion can be bought. Style one must possess."

~Edna Woolman Chase, Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Magazine, 1914-1952

Look out, Paris and Milan! Isabella Madeline is ready to walk the runway and show the dreadful designers of the fashion world a thing or two about style.

First, forget Manolo Blahnik. The trendy footwear for this summer season is a pair of chunky, pink ski boots. They are the perfect shoe for any girl about to hit the park for an afternoon of swinging, sliding and sidewalk-chalk-drawing. And don't forget your bubbles! They are a much more functional accessory than last-year's designer diaper bag.

Second, make sure you have a variety of hair accessories. These funky little clips are available in a wide array of colors to match nearly any set of play clothes, and they're easy enough for the tiniest toddler to use. They are completely suitable for playground and playdate alike.

Third, never forget your shades. Jimmy Choo has nothing over on these hip pink-and-green sunglasses with white daisy detail. This is the trend that will be sweeping the playgrounds this summer season.

Look, the trend is already spreading. You go, girl!

Fourth, it is a well-known modeling secret that wearing shoes that are a little too large can make our ankles appear smaller. Check out your very fashionable mommy's closet for a suitable pair. And don't be held back by tradition - wear them on the wrong foot if you want. It's all about the attitude!

Finally, keep in mind that all girls are princesses at heart, so pick your favorite Disney Diva and adopt her style as your own. After all, what girl doesn't want a fancy dress, a castle, and a handsome prince of her very own?

If you follow these easy steps, you will never again be the victim of another fashion faux pas. Isabella will be gracing the cover of Vogue any day, and I will be able to say, "I knew her when."

That is..."I knew her when she wanted to wear bunny ears to bed."
