I said, “I do.”
If you had taken me aside on my wedding day and told me that in the next 8 years…
I would move 4 more times in NYC…
I would then move to Rhode Island…
I would change careers (and become a blogger)…
I would have 4 beautiful little boys (all 4 years in a row)…
I would [...]

I love talking summer fashion. Summer is my favorite season, so it’s easier for me to fall in love with all of the trends and styles.

I’ve [...]

There’s one bag that has saved my life (so far) this summer. (And – half of last summer!)
L.L.Bean’s Boat and Tote Bag.
I must look like a walking circus walking into our pool club. I’ve got the 4 boys. I’ve got towels and bathing suits and lotions and swimmies and goggles and pool [...]

I’m a work-at-home-mom. I run MomGenerations.com (with my mom and sister) out of my house. But… one day a week we work from my mother’s house. We update each other on deadlines and calendars and just basic work information.
Today was our lunch day.
I decided to bring my own lunch. My Healthy [...]

J. Jill’s clothing embodies a woman. It’s classic. It’s sophisticated. It’s casual and carefree. There is nothing complicated about it.
I love their washable silk and linen. The quality of fabric is amazingly SUPERB!
I also love that they deliver sizes 2-20. Not many retailers offer a good range of sizes… it’s WONDERFUL [...]

There are a few celebrity closets I would RAID in a second (or at least their dressing rooms!).
Kelly Ripa is one of them.  I love her personality.  I love her realness.  And I love that she LOVES being a mom.  She is – in my mind – the true mom fashionista.
Monday through Friday she looks [...]

There are certain things in my house that I cannot live without — (in no particular order):
Shampoo
Conditioner
Diapers (not for me)
Dishwasher Detergent
Toothpaste
Toilet Paper
Laundry Detergent
These items keep my house, and me, going. If one thing is missing (oh, please — not the shampoo and conditioner), it could potentially through the whole day off. OK, potentially. [...]

I’ve mentioned the Sheath Dress in my blog posts recently… and I’ve had some emails from people asking me what it is…
According to About.com –
A sheath dress features a figure-hugging silhouette with a defined waist (no belt or waistband). This short (mid-calf or shorter) dress works well in sleeveless styles on well-toned bodies.

Beautiful style [...]

Henry turns 1 today.
It’s almost surreal to me. He’s 1. The last year has just flown by. My littlest man is 1.
Last year, right about at this time… I was being transferred from recovery up to my hospital room. I had a c-section with Henry, my first c-section… so his delivery [...]

I’m a handbag girl. Well, handbag mom.
It’s my “thing.” Before I left my job at Donna Karan in NYC 5 years ago, I was living a dream… I got to work on the DKNY Shoes and Accessories line. It was heaven for me. To be in a sea of handbags and [...]

It’s the summer (well, almost!). I know it doesn’t usually really feel like summer until school is out. For my boys, the last day of pre-school was June 5th… and since then I have been in complete summer dress mode. And if you’re from New England, you know it has only been in the [...]

I’m asked a lot from women about finding clothing for the summer that’s elegant, sophisticated and comfortable.  Pieces they can wear to work.  Pieces they can wear to events.  Pieces that can mix and match.  Pieces that can be brought away on vacation.  And pieces that are affordable.
The Dana Buchman Collection at Kohl’s is pure [...]

Yesterday while at Target (one of those supposed “in and out” trips)… but, like a bee to honey, I was drawn to the women’s clothing section.
There was a black dress that just grabbed my attention — A Mossimo Black Sleeveless Tiered Dress.

A tiered style is GREAT for women who are trying to conceal stomachs or [...]

Balance.
It’s a word I’m constantly saying and constantly thinking about.
Balance.
Throughout my life, I’ve always had a lot on my plate. It’s never felt like “a lot” to me, but to others, it’s always seemed like a lot.
In high school, besides being a normal teenager, I was a competitive swimmer. I would wake up [...]

Oh, yes. Bikini lines.
They’re there. And they’re real.
I wouldn’t dare vlog this one… so I thought I would blog my tip for the upcoming summer.
To get a smooth bikini line…
Make sure you are shaving in the direction that your hair grows. That’s how you always keep your bikini soft and [...]

Bedtime at our house starts at 7PM with Henry.
Next with Benjamin at around 7:30PM.
And then William and Alexander head upstairs at around 8PM.
Geez… it sounds so easy when I type it out. It’s just never really that easy.
Actually, with Henry it is. He happily goes to bed and then doesn’t even stir until [...]

I pretty much always have some kind of music on. Whether I’m at home, in the car, working out… music is playing. It relaxes me.

I know many, many, many expecting moms right now! Very exciting!
One of my close friends asked me last week why I never give any fashion advice for expecting moms. She wasn’t too happy…
I felt so bad. I think being pregnant back-to-back-to-back-to-back for 4 years made me gravitate towards the non-maternity styles… but, truth [...]

It’s June 1st.
You know what that means?
It’s going to get HOT.  Very hot.  And very soon.
I CANNOT wait!  I’m a summer girl.  I love the sun.  I love the beach.  I love warm weather.  I love wearing sundresses and flip flops.  I love this time of year.
But…
There’s one thing I HATE about this time of [...]

When I was living in NYC with my husband (even when we were engaged) – every Sunday night we would get takeout Chinese food.
Every. Single. Sunday. Night.
Then we moved to Rhode Island, and yes, the tradition continued.
As I’ve mentioned in past blogs, my husband ended up gaining 80 pounds after we moved to NYC because [...]
