nordic design
My design esthetic has always been vintage eclectic glam with a touch of modern. However, just as your taste buds change over the years, the older I get my design esthetic is changing. Don't get me wrong, I still love glitz & glam, vintage baubles but I have been drawn to simple, modern, graphic pops, statement pieces and honestly becoming more of a minimalist.
It might be because I have a 3 year old who makes more of mess now then she ever has and I can't handle the mess anymore.
It also might be because I'm drawn to how others live in other parts of the world. Europe, UK, & Australian lifestyle is different. In America it is all about having the dream house, cars, money. The land of the free! In other parts of the world it's about spending time with your family, enjoying life, where you live, traveling the world. They live simple, their homes are a tad smaller than what we are a custom to living. They do have three or four people living in a one bedroom flat. Yet, they make the most of the square footage, resulting in it looking & feeling bigger than it is. I love how you will see the black and white color blocking throughout a home, graphic pops in the kitchen, living room, & bedroom. Kids design made for adults.
Which brings me to what my post is really about today. Haha!
Nordic Happy Design
Have you heard of a shop called Little Studio? Well you should check out their website. They have fun playful designs for your home.
Designers, Marit Lissdaniel and Angelica Utterberg wanted their designs to fit children & adults. The two loved how children have the ability to see things for more than they really are. For example, a triangle could be a triangle- but it could also be a mountain. They try to avoid the traditional gender roles so their designs apply to everyone.
The best part about their shop for us in the US, they ship WORLD WIDE!!!

Current Obsession: WASHI TAPE
I can't get my mind off WASHI TAPE!
Does anyone else feel the same way?
Every website, blog, magazine I look at, has it showcased.
Solids, Prints, Patterns, Shapes, OH MY!!!
Needless to say, I am obsessed and need to get myself some. However, I am nervous to use it. Even though it is adorable up, I live in a rental so eventually I am sure I will be moving. That being said, I don't want to ruin my pictures, posters, and art taking them off the wall. I know it is suppose to be removable but still.... HELP! What would you do?
DO IT? DON'T IT?

In the meantime, while I make a decision, I have been researching where to purchase. I really want neon stripes, hot pink, flat black, and grey. I came across quite a few blog post on it and every one of them pointed me to MT Masking Tape out of Japan. I loved all the pictures on their site but when it came to the inventory I did not find what I was looking for. Sad face.
My search continued, until, I was scanning Etsy the other day and came across seller Crafty Japan. Cha Ching! They have every solid, print, pattern, shape, & size I am looking for! You must check out their unique selection...washi tape for days.
Now it's on to the wall layout....
Ooh Jeez, that is a whole other blog post people. :)

Mamas & Papas -How to-
Good Morning Readers! This is a sponsored post written by someone else.
Thank you for being supportive of the sponsors that help me run The Style{d} Blog. This post is sponsored by VERY UK. Join them on Facebook!
How to Buy Your First
Pushchair
The period before your
firstborn’s arrival is one of excitement, pressure and apprehension, and a lot
of your time will be taken up preparing everything you need. One essential most
mothers agree is incredibly important is a high quality pushchair. However,
finding the right pushchair for you and your child can be incredibly difficult.
To help you through the challenges ahead, we’ve compiled this concise guide to
what to look for in a new pushchair.
Which type?
There are
numerous models available on the market, so picking out the design that best
suits your needs can take a lot of research. However, there are a few basic
things to look out for. Firstly, how many children will it need to carry? You
can now purchase pushchairs that have space allowances for three children, so
it’s well worth thinking ahead. Secondly, would you prefer a forward or
rear-facing pushchair? This will mainly come down to personal preference and
how you would like your child to travel. Finally, many pushchairs now have the
ability to change from upright buggies to flat-lying prams, so consider whether
this would be useful or not.
Brand
Though brand isn’t the be
all and end all when it comes to buying a pushchair, it can
make a difference. It’s
often a better idea to go for an established brand that has a reputation for
high quality design, production and safety standards. With this in mind, the Very.co.uk Mamas & Papas
pushchair range will ensure you receive the quality you’ve paid for.
Lifestyle
One of the most important
considerations to take into account when buying a pushchair is the kind of
lifestyle you lead. This will have a large impact on the way in which you use
your pushchair, and the obstacles it will have to overcome.
If you live in the city
and find yourself using a lot of public transport, it’s going to be a much
better idea to buy a lightweight pushchair that’s easy to lift. On the other
hand, if you live in a more rural setting, you may want to consider a buggy
that is more durable and built for countryside conditions.

{BABY FEVER}
I am very content having my incredible, smart, spunky, outgoing, loving daughter, Kai Jordan. Yes, even though it changes from day to day, shockingly I could see myself only having one.
My ideal family would include one girl and one boy. Unfortunately no one has figured out how to guarantee the sex of my next baby.... plus I will tell you a little secret {I'm not ready for baby #2}.
That being said, moms who are on the verge of wanting another one, aka BABY FEVER! However, your not sure until your standing in the isle at Target and you hear a newborn baby cry and you catch yourself saying "Ahh, how cute?"
Well for me it was not the crying newborn that did it for me, it was this AAAHDORABLE nursery I saw via Gilt Kids!
I instantly wanted another one just so I could decorate the nursery.
Gold Light {Urban Outfitters}, Tufted Rocker {Nurseryworks}, Crib {Oeuf}, Sheep Skin rug {Ikea}, White Fur Pillow & White Side table {West Elm}
FYI kids, DO NOT HAVE A BABY JUST SO YOU CAN DECORATE A NURSERY! Haha!

"Vintage Fashion on Wheels"
We have all heard of the gourmet food truck craze but the trucks don't stop there!
Now there is events such as "Fashion Truck Rally" and Pop-up shops featuring shopping on wheels.
My favorite is the sought after Traveling Vintage boutique, "Le Fashion Truck".
What's that you said? It's a shop, it's a truck, it's LA's 1st mobile vintage shop!
Lunch time is getting better and better. Now you don't have to choose to eat or shop, you can run out to the food truck and do a little shopping while you wait for your order. Is this a dream or what?
Owners, Stacey Steffe and Jeanine Romo combined their love of vintage, jewelry and their credo, (that has customers tailgating them weekly)
"Vintage Fashion at Vintage Prices".
You can find them popping up at places like Co-Op 28 in Los Feliz, CA but if you happen to miss them, make sure to check Le Fashion Truck's website for the next stop.
