LITTLE INFO: If you’ve seen a custom-wrapped Lilly Pulitzer inspired Jeep on the streets, inside you’ll find the O’Bert family. Three-year-old Audrey Grace belongs to Holly (@PinkPreppyMom), a Disney-themed Mom blogger, whose tips for all things Disney including insider Parks tips and style alerts can be found at bippityboppityblog.com. Audrey’s dad, Rob O’Bert, checks non-Disney ears as an Otolaryngologist at Missouri Baptist Medical Center. 


LITTLE LOOK: Like Mom, Audrey prefers to take the fancier route in her Lilly Pulitzer looks. But she is also a big fan of Disney princess dresses and ballerina dance wear, regardless of the day’s agenda. Mom says, “We change back and forth on a daily basis.”

LITTLE LOVES: When she’s not honing her dancing skills at Krupinski Academy of Dance, she’s busy emulating scenes from the Royal Opera House channel on YouTube. This little princess also loves meeting the Disney princesses and characters when she visits the Disney Parks while Mom gets all the insider information to share on her blog.

LITTLE LIT: Audrey could start a Disney book club­– her current favorite read is “Vampirina Ballerina,” based on the popular television show. She also recommends anything about animals, especially if there’s a visual component. 

LITTLE EXTRA: It’s all about dance, dresses and Disney for this sophisticated little girl. But here’s a fun fact: Audrey gets shy around the princesses! Mom says, “Her reaction to humans versus characters is interesting. When she visits Elsa [from Frozen] for example, she’s very quiet and is cautious and curious. But if it’s Goofy or Minnie Mouse, she runs to them and hugs for probably a good ten minutes, to the point someone has to say something. It’s pretty funny!”
