Jasmine Snow

I'm a Style Expert and mom of 2. With over a decade in the fashion industry, I launched my lifestyle site Jasmine-Snow.com and my own digital style show, The Nap Series.

I believe fashion is an experience. Whether getting dressed in your closet or putting together a beautiful new space in your home, it’s about creating a look that makes you happy and is totally authentic to you and what you love! What’s more fun than that?! My style cred spills into every messy side of life in a ridiculously chic and relatable way. Despite sometimes being covered in purées and having a chaotic-ish new normal, I really believe style works on everyone!

Although parties and nightlife are still on hold this year, that does not mean the glitz and sparkle of the holiday season has to be too! I’m loving casual relaxed sparkle this year, and I promise it’s going to be just as chic as ever other year! When it comes to my babies, I love dressing and shopping for them with what feels most “of the moment” but also is super playful and fun for them to enjoy style too! When it comes to putting it all together, I take a 5 step approach that I like to call The Style Method. I start with a bit of inspiration, pick out a main piece to dress around and then build from there! The goal is to always have fun with it and never take yourself OR your shopping list too seriously! Check out a few of my favorite things that keep my kids entertained and practically style themselves!

The Black Bib

An accessory for babes with places to go and style to be seen!

Just because you're a baby doesn't mean you can't make messes look chic! I never worry about covering up a cute outfit with a lame bib... this just adds to the whole look!
