The Sakura Bloom Styleathon: Favorite Moments

Before we move on from the Styleathon, I just wanted to look back and highlight some of my favorite moments from the last couple of months of mama-baby style and adventure. There were so many gems from each participant, but these are the ones that I just can't stop thinking about:

I think this is probably one of my favorite babywearing images of all time. I just adore Henry's awesomely cute RAWR as he and Danielle explore a breathtaking natural landscape. From Danielle's Round 2 post.

I don't know how you could watch Aura's Round 3 video without shedding tears of joy and love. To me, this entry encapsulated the most beautiful aspects of motherhood and left me feeling inspired to live life to the fullest.

I really can't get over "Miss" James and her major fashion chops. I think the super-fly, wide-legged jumpsuit she rocked in her Round 1 post was my favorite outfit of the Styleathon.

I think my heart skipped a beat when I first saw Toby hanging out with his mom, Joanna, on their first fishing trip together. Photo from her Round 2 entry.

I adore the moving narration that accompanied this wonderful video from Jen, as part of her Round 3 entry. Clearly, I'm a sucker for tearjerkers!

Even though Sharmadean (like Joanna) had to drop out of the Styleathon for personal reasons, I still look back on her Round 1 entry with a smile. I loved the candid, photobooth-style pics of her and cute Roman and the down-to-earth tips for staying chic as a mom.

Another one of my favorite outfits of the Styleathon, I loved Melisa's Round 1 post. I thought this photo was especially sweet. And it made me really really want to smoosh Blake's cheeks.

I loved Elizabeth's Round 1 post, Storytelling, for the way she articulated her new approach to collecting beautiful pieces, and the way having a daughter has influenced her style.

Natalie's Round 2 post was chock-full of New York City glam and goodness. Equal parts meditation on living the life of your dreams and picturesque postcard of the Big Apple, I got goosebumps reading this entry.

What were your favorite Styleathon moments?

  4. my favorite Sakura Bloom Styleathon moments were-

    1. Joanna Goddard -has your style changed since motherhood (round one of the styleathon). I loved what she wrote and that her photos actually looked like pictures of a normal every day mom running errands.

    &

    2 Aura Joon-to Be near you - (round three of the Styleathon). I loved what she wrote. I feel like it best describes what most moms really dress and feel like on any given day.

  6. I just recently got the Ergo Baby carrier and love how comfortable it is for both myself and my daughter but I will admit I have eyed off these wraps on other women for some time but have been hesitant to purchase. Your post has inspired me to look into them...
    Also, beautiful photos.
