50 HAPPY BIRD-DAY! TURNING ONE HAS NEVER BEEN MORE STYLISH. By Christina Geyer. Photography Redman Pictures. W hen your parents are Amber Venz Box and Baxter Box — the power couple be- hind rewardStyle and LIKEtoKNOW.it, the international, multi-million-dollar digital monetization platforms used by style bloggers and fashion influencers — you can bet their progeny's good taste will be cultivated at a young age. As we go to press, Amber was just named to the prestigious Forbes 30 Under 30 list for her entrepreneurial success. The couple's one-year-old daughter, Birdie Box, has garnered quite the reputation for her impeccable toddler-wear — thanks to mom, who shares photos of her tot's #OOTD (outfit-of-the-day) on her Instagram account, @VenzEdits. Birdie's nursery alone is a sight to be seen: We wrote about it in October 2015, just before Birdie was born, with its Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams furnishings and tasteful amount of Hermès accessories. Upon the occasion of Birdie's first birthday, the fête con- cocted by Amber and Baxter was nothing short of magic. Sugar highs came by way of Tart Bakery, which prepared an endless supply of cookies and petit fours. There were Polaroid cameras and custom card games, chalk art on the sidewalk, rides in the red Radio Flyer, and tricycle races. A tent from Sugar Shacks Teepees was pitched and decorated with sheepskin rugs, a Moroccan-style pouf, and kid-friendly books. A popular selfie site was Birdie's BFF swing, which hung from a tree limb next to Birdie's own flying chariot. And adding to the celebratory mood, Amber quietly announced a bit of other news: Baby Boy Box will join the fashionable fam this spring.
