Last week I stumbled upon this little Audrey Hepburn fashionista look alike on Pinterest and just had to share her adorable picture with our fans on Facebook. Turns out this stylized photo came from the makes of the beautiful tutu, Atutudes, and photographer Ashley Concillio. I was in love and today we're so excited to share more about Atutudes lovely little tutus and the woman, Kristal Lee, behind them...
Atutudes: Tutus for your Little Fashionista...

Atutudes was born when my best friend, Jennifer, and I were planning her daughter Elan's first birthday party. We were looking for just the right outfit for her big day. Not finding what we were looking for, we decided to do some research and see if we could learn how to make our own tutus. Once we learned how to make them, we were hooked! It was so much fun to create beautiful things. We thought, Why not try to make a career of it? There was very little start-up cost. We purchased the instructions, bought some tulle, elastic, and a few embellishments, and started to create. We used our own money out of pocket. We rented a booth at a local flea market for $40 for a weekend to see if we had something people would be interested in. We were received very well and knew we were onto something special. It was tough to give up weekends to sell at the flea market and to find room to store our items. Etsy.com has been such a blessing!
