Minnie Mouse Vintage Flair
Recently while I was at a work event for Disney, one of the presenters pulled out the most amazing stuffed Minnie Mouse from his own personal collection. She was missing her skirt, but it was still so cool to see how far back the roots of the famous mouse heroine stretch and I love me some vintage Disney. So, I was definitely excited to see this new Minnie plush that’s totally reminiscent of the vintage version!

Disney + Old Navy = Adorable Cuteness
Old Navy is basically my baby clothes shopping go-to for multiple reasons: 1. They have cute clothes, 2. They have good prices, 3. They have carts, 4. It’s the closest place to my house. But, now there’s even more reason to frequent Old Navy: their cute collection of Disney clothing for babies. As you can see, I already snapped up the most adorable little Minnie Mouse swimsuit for Fern there. I had a Minnie suit myself as a kid and I just couldn’t resist the nostalgia. Check out the rest of the clothing cuteness they have right now!
