Your Style Expressed: Home, Business, On the Street

There's an evolution of personal style that occurs as soon as we become mothers. Inspiration, strength, and happiness is derived from a deeper place within us.  I think our creative mojo is kicked into high gear, from dressing ourselves to juggling increasingly hectic schedules.

So why not showcase the creative talents of Moms with Estilo (style), who express their personal style on the streets, in their homes and in the business world? This group of moms definitely "wowed" me!

The Pouffe
Ever heard of the Pouffe? Check out www.redzipperdesigns.com
A pair of West coast mamas had the ingenious idea to upgrade the bean bag from it's tired old state to a "storage bean-bag" and gave us a stylish way to add more storage to our homes. Recently launched in May, these mamas are hitting it out of the ball park with their creative RedZipper design.  Go Mamas!

But wait! As ingenious as a business idea is, so is finding a special way to showcase your personal style at home and bring together the pieces of your past to make them part of your present.

Much More Than A Wedding Runner
This East coast mama worked on her wedding runner for a week, painstakingly gluing synthetic flower petals to it by hand. So where is this 5 ft runner now? It's hanging beautifully in her daughter's room. A love story to be shared and for all to see. Where a happy couple once stood and vowed to love each other, now their little girl plays and can add to it's history.

Show Me Those Hands!
I actually stopped and did a double take when I saw the detail on this mama's finger nails. But it's not just the detail, it's the color combinations she chose to use that really showcase her personal style. While her toddler naps, her creative juices get to work. Using different paint brush sizes, this mom paints really hip designs on her nails and saves herself the expensive mani/pedi tab.

Creative Wall Decor
Ever walk into someone's home and see something so different yet cool, you just have to ask if it's a personal creation? Well, that's exactly what I did when I noticed the wall decor in this mom's living room and then again in a different version in her son's room.

Wall Art 

Way to express your personal style! This mom's fun and modern wall art really adds something special to her son's room. Using multi color tape found in the school supply section at Target, she creates a segway between the window curtains at one end of the room and the storage pieces at the other end, tying the elements in this room nicely.

That's it for this first monthly installment of Your Style Expressed.
