Little Erika


1. Pre-Gossip girl and Blair Waldorf, yet already having a fondness for headbands. The beach was always our Summer family thing. I think I was around 8 here.


2. With my Mom and Mickey Mouse at Walt Disney World, sometime in the mid-1980's. I was about 3 here. My ever stylish Mom wore heels even to Disney World back then. Can you believe it?? And I think she may still have those same sunglasses too.


3. Ahhh balloons at an award ceremony in 5th grade. I remember being so nervous about walking on stage that day. Talk about shy!


4. At Miami Metro Zoo. It was my 7th Birthday Party there. Even way back when I loved my floral print dresses (and ponies!)


5. Here he is! My 8 years younger brother. This was taken when he was 2 and when I was 10. You all know him as the photographer behind many of my outdoor blog photos. Ahhh, I miss that Bambi t-shirt.


6. I'm about 5 or 6 years old in this one. I was quite the rambunctious little girl. Quite the handful. Can't you tell?? HA HA. Here I am with "Mr. Whale" in the pool wearing one of my favorite bathing suits.

I hope you all enjoyed this little trip down "memory lane" that I am more than happy to share with all of you, my lovely readers!

Gosh, you were such an adorable kidlet! I was the ugly duckling when I was little, over weight and lacking any sense of style haha.

(and I really enjoyed the feature, congrats again)

Not only are you adorable but you were a gorgeous child!!!

I can't get over thatDisney picture because I have one just like it where I;m posing with Minnie Mouse and my mom is to the left of me and she's wearing heels and she's got the blond short do. Normally this wouldn't be so exciting- but it is because I swear the picture you posted and the picture I have is like the same bloody picture!!! Our mom's are like identical in it. lol!

dapper kid said...

Awww you look adorable in those photos! I'm loving that floral dress and your mummy is one super styling lady!

Stephanie said...

I just showed my brother the picture and he's like ya and you guys are even the same age! so funny. I know, my brother and I look far more like out birth father (we don't know him cause he walked out on us) not sad though cause our step dad is awesome and adopted us! Anyways so, basically when we were younger there was my mom with these two younger kids who look identical yet pretty much nothing like her. lol. But now as i grow older, albeit the dark features (my mom is blond with green eyes too-lol) I find my face is evolving to resemble hers more and more which i great cause like your mom, she's a beautiful woman.

And even in 5th grade, you had great legs and a faible for mini skirts.. ;-)
And you also look really cute in that photo with your brother! I tell you, I love your hair!!!
"Mr. Whale", that's so cute. I can imagine you have lived many adventures with him. And you're right, you look like a wild little girl! :D

And that outfit of yours that got featured on Stardust and Sequins is one of my favourite outfits from you!

By the way, the make-up video should work now. It hadn't finished processing when you viewed it, probably.
