Daisy Duck

Sartorial Saturday–Inspired by Daisy Duck

This isn’t the first Disney Bound I’ve done in honor of Daisy Duck, and it’s not even the first featuring this dress and cardigan, but it is my favorite look inspired by her signature style that I’ve come up with!

For this Disney Bound, I buttoned up my purple Yemak cropped cardigan over my white Honesta-May dress from Miss Candyfloss and cinched it with a pink belt. I also added a pink fascinator inspired by Daisy’s usual bow…I think the color palette is spot on!

I don’t have a daisy brooch, but I thought a white hydrangea from Erstwilder would be a good substitute. I also added a pair of Splendette Duchess Bangles in the same color as Daisy’s signature bracelet.

I think I captured Daisy’s look quite well, don’t you?

I tried to emulate her sass and sparkle as much as possible!

I really enjoy Disney Bounding, and it’s fun to try to figure out how the items I already have in my wardrobe can be used for this purpose!

Sartorial Saturday–Everything’s Coming Up Daisy

Did you know Daisy Duck is celebrating her 85th birthday this year? She is my absolute favorite Disney character, so I was super excited when the Disney Store online debuted this adorable dress inspired by my sassy gal!

It features puff sleeves and a full skirt with a built in crinoline, plus an embroidered faux collar and button. The pink and purple color palette is perfect for Daisy, and the bottom half of the skirt is covered with the flowers she is named for and also includes her unmistakable signature.

I accessorized with a pair of purple, daisy-covered 85th anniversary ears by BaubleBar from the Disney Store, an Erstwilder brooch, a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles, and a RockLove Jewelry Daisy Duck necklace.

I also have a sparkly, fuzzy, Daisy Duck Loungefly mini backpack…I’ve wished for something like this for a while, and this is exactly what I had in mind!

I attaached a signature bag charm from BaubleBar, too:

This is the perfect look to celebrate my favorite duck!

Mani Monday

This week’s mani is inspired by my very favorite duck…Disney’s Daisy! I used the purple Nailtopia “Daisy Duck” polish with accent nails of Holo Taco “Blush Money” and “Be Kind Rewind” plus a layer of “Silver Flake Taco” over one nail. It looks great with my Baublebar bag charm!

Sartorial Saturday–A Super Plush Cardigan

Today I’m taking a look at something very different for me…a cardigan so plush, it feels like a stuffed animal!

Ryan gave me this beautiful and fun Her Universe Mickey & Friends cardigan for Christmas, and I’ve been wearing it pretty much constantly since. It’s soft and warm and just the right amount of oversized.

I love the patchwork pattern!

And all of the little details, including these darling flower buttons:

And of course my gal Daisy!

The pastel shades are so pretty…just right to brighten up winter!

I love a comfortable cardigan, and when it’s as cute as this one, it’s even more fun to wear!

Sartorial Saturday–A Subtle Tribute to My Favorite Ducks

Tomorrow is Donald Duck’s 90th birthday, and I have just the dress for it!

This sundress is from Her Universe, and with its tiered skirt it’s lovely and flowy for summer, plus it has the cutest print which features Donald’s sailor hat and Daisy’s bow…I love that it references them in a subtle way!

I chose primarily blue and pink accessories to go with the Donald and Daisy theme, including my stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles and Meteor Jewelry Co. Starlite necklace, but I also borrowed a floral Erstwilder brooch in yellow from my youngest daughter to go with the flowers on the dress:

Speaking of accessories, Baublebar released two special bag charms just in time for Donald’s birthday…one of the birthday boy with a balloon and party hat (which I actually didn’t buy), and one of Daisy, complete with sparkly shoes and a cake she baked just for him!

The ties on the shoulders give it an extra summery feel:

And I love how soft the material of the dress is!

Other than the back of the bodice, which is smocked, the dress is fully lined, so you don’t have to worry about the light color being too sheer:

I don’t have a lot of fashion featuring my favorite Disney ducks, so I’m really excited I was able to add this cute dress to my wardrobe!

Mani Monday

This week’s Mani Monday was inspired by the inimitable Daisy Duck. I used the Nailtopia Daisy Duck purple as the base, and layered Holo Taco Starry-Eyed over it. I put the glitter layer on a little thicker than I intended to, but you can still see the purple shining through, so we’ll call it good!

Sartorial Saturday–A Collection of Daisy Duck Bag Charms

I think by now, my love of Daisy Duck is pretty clear. So last year, when Baublebar finally added Daisy Duck to their bag charm collection with a lovely summer version of her in a swimming suit, I was ecstatic. And when they added a Halloween edition of Princess Daisy complete with hennin and wand, I started think maybe they were planning to make Daisy a staple in their collection. Since then, they’ve also created a Christmas bag charm and a extra sparkly Daisy in her typical uniform of pink bow, purple top, blue bracelet, and pink shoes.

At some point, I decided to make it my goal to purchase every Daisy Duck bag charm they offer (thank you occasional sales and coupons!). I’m still hoping for a winter (maybe ice skating to go with the Minnie they’re currently selling?) variant, but it’s probably too late for that this season. I do know that I’m looking forward to whatever they create next! I’m glad to see my pal Daisy finally getting the attention she deserves…it is all about her, after all!

Mani Monday

I added a coat of the glittery Sally Hansen Miracle Gel “Girls Flip” over my purple Nailtopia “Daisy Duck” Disney 100 nail polish for this sparkly mani inspired by my new Baublebar bag charm!

Sartorial Saturday–A Disney 100 Daisy Duck Disney Bound

I’ve already shared one whimsical styling of the Miss Candyfloss Honesta-May dress…now it’s time for another! Today I’m taking a look at a Disney Bound inspired by Daisy Duck’s “Disney 100” outfit, and I’m including the Disney 100 ears I bought for our trip to Disneyland!

Her outfit is purple and silver…I went with purple and white (with a hint of silver here and there):

Here’s a closer look at the ears…I view them as a companion piece to the Disney World 50th anniversary ears I purchased last year:

I added some glittery Splendette Duchess bangles in Daisy’s Disney 100 colors:

I think the purple petticoat is the perfect, sassy addition!

Do you think Daisy would approve?

This was a fun look to put together…stay tuned for a more standard styling of this dress for everyday!

Mani Monday

I have never tried Nailtopia brand nail polish before (actually, I had never even heard of them!), but when I saw that they had a Disney 100 collection at Ulta, I knew I had to give them a try. I found colors for each of my girls (Cheshire Cat, Stitch, and Dumbo), and the inimitable Daisy Duck (of course!) for myself. I’m happy with the quality of the nail polish, and the color is really lovely. I added an accent of Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Deep Sea Diamond on two nails to keep the Disney 100 theme going…isn’t it pretty?
