Some of these items were gifted to us in exchange for review and possible inclusion. Thanks for reading! And remember to follow me @stylishlystella on Instagram where I share daily, inspiration for celebrating the everyday in style!
I SO relate to this book coming from a small town myself and having grown up watching the fashion shows on TV always yearning for a bigger more cosmopolitan city. So it is with great nostalgia that I share reading sessions with this book in hand because it sparks conversations of how life in the NYC is so different than much of the rest of the world. 
And it also brings us back to the time when we met the author of this book, the creator of these fashion icon cookies and other plush items, KahriAnne Kerr. What an honor it was for Juliet to meet a real fashion designer (her future dream job haha)
This was gifted to us by a fellow fashionista and it became Juliet’s favorite book as a toddler. With its catchy rhymes and glittery pages, I could see why! My daughter even memorized the words to the entire book at age 3 and there are actually a lot of pages jam-packed into this one board book! So you can imagine how many times she had asked to have me read this to her haha
See what stepping into the shoes of famous women might be like. We love this book because not only does it feature fun fashions and the most amazing shoe collection, but it takes you through an educational journey highlighting famous, fearless, powerful women in history. (Think Serena Williams, Frida Kahlo, Cleopatra and Lady Gaga!) It is all about girl power and who doesn’t love that!
