It’s been awhile since I’ve mentioned anything about makeup. I have to say, during summer, I wear as little makeup as possible. I’m outside with the boys. I’m at swimming lessons. I’m at the playground. I sweat, and I just hate the feeling of makeup streams in all the wrong [...]

One of my favorite quotes of all time is by Bette Midler: “Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.” It’s true. Sink your feet into an incredible pair of shoes and you’re just a different woman. Every season new shoes come out – there are [...]

I never touched a pair of flats until this past spring. I never touched them because they always made me feel shorter than 5 feet. Seriously, it’s easy to feel shorter when you’re actually pretty short. But — this past March I had to try them… so I bought a cheap pair of [...]

There’s one trend that is really showing its way through some late-summer and fall collections – RUFFLES. Ruffle dresses and tops and skirts and even ruffle scarves! It’s such an elegant and delicate and feminine trend. I’m loving it…

There are certain parts of our bodies we want to minimize… not accentuate. I’m sure we all have those areas (please tell me we all do!).
One area I get asked a lot about minimizing is the hip and thighs region. It isn’t always a lady’s best friend. Fortunately, there are fashion tips available [...]

Sometimes it’s all about the hair.
During the summer months my hair has the potential to get damaged beyond control.
Gone are the days of sunbathing and leisurely swimming and being able to wash my hair after every beach and pool trip.
Oh, no.
My days are spent standing by the edge of the pool, making sure my 2- [...]

I know my mother will love this fashion trend (right Mom?)…
L.L.Bean offers their classic “Bean Tee” with an Insect Shield.  That’s right — built-in insect repellent.

I thought this was absolutely fantastic… especially with mosquitoes and ticks being so prevalent in the summer.  Classic fashion style with a practical twist.  I love it.
Or as L.L.Bean describes…

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 [...]

I have a fashion obsession. I can’t help it, I do.

You create – by mixing and matching clothing and accessories – different outfits. I’m telling you, it’s a lot of fun. Experiment with styles. Create fun looks. Be a little daring with colors and designs that you normally wouldn’t wear. [...]

My bloggy friend and fellow Rhode Islander – Heather from The Mogul Mom – sent me some socks from Little Miss Matched awhile ago. They made my life easier. I loved them SO MUCH, I got myself more pairs.

My favorite red sundress has been leaving some people wondering, “Is she, or isn’t she?”
It’s the design of the dress; it’s very, very forgiving — and very, very comfortable.
But one way I like to wear this particular sundress is with a belt (it helps with the “pregnancy rumors”). There’s nothing like adding a belt to [...]

Floral prints are making a huge “splash” this summer. A floral print gives you the look of elegance and fun, all wrapped into one clothing item. I have to be honest with you, I don’t have any dresses/tops/skirts with a floral print. When I saw how beautiful the options were out there [...]

Looking for a HOT summer sandal?
Honestly… look no further. I am absolutely in love with the gladiator style sandals this summer.
I love them because any woman could work in these, play in these AND chase/run/swing/climb/twhirl/jump/skip/hop in these. They’re flat. They stay attached to your feet. They’re cozy. And the best [...]

I’m all, all, all about SUNDRESSES in the summer. I love them!

I couldn’t help re-tweeting this from @BabyCheapskate on Thursday:
@BabyCheapskate: OH NO! Shoulder pads coming back into fashion: http://is.gd/zTgr #fb
Yes… it’s an article entitled, Sideways turn: 80s shoulder pads make a comeback.
I must say it. I was horrified. Like… screeching-halt, double-take horrified.
Shoulder pads? I’m thinking back to the 1980’s when all my mother’s [...]

I was sent the book Michelle Style by Mandi Norwood in the mail last week.
For fashion lovers, this is a must-have! The book “celebrates the First Lady of Fashion”… but beyond that, it speaks to the “common” woman. I love this piece of the book. I didn’t feel like it was a [...]

There’s nothing I love more than Maxi dresses in the spring/summer. The reason I love them so much is because they are so versatile. You can wear these ANYWHERE! As moms, we have to embrace items of clothing like this. So how can you mix a Maxi up (say that about [...]

I have never been a short-wearer. (OK… when I was a child, I was – circa 1985… but not recently!)
For my trip to Florida I have tried on over (no joke) 20 pairs of shorts. Some were too tight. Some were too short. Some were just not comfortable. Some actually [...]

We went to DC this past weekend and had a BLAST!  It’s about a 7 hour car ride from Rhode Island – but when you toss in the fact that we stop every couple of hours for diaper changes and food/bottle/sippy cup breaks – it turns out to be about 8-10 hours.
It was on the [...]

With the economy the way it is, many moms are heading back into the workforce. This is something that many “moms” haven’t done in a long time — getting their resumes together, talking with headhunters, scouring the JOB section of the newspaper and setting up interviews.

Short and sweet today.
Never, ever decide to wear heels ALL DAY long when you aren’t used to walking close to 3-4 miles in them.

I was never a consignment or thrift store shopper “growing up”.

Last night I was packing for SXSW.

This weekend I went to my niece’s swim meet. (She rocked the pool!) Between her swims, I took my boys and my nephew into another room at the YMCA to play. You know, away from the pool deck! As I let the boys run around and play… a group of tween [...]

Yesterday I did something that I haven’t done in a long time. A very, very long time.
I closed my computer. Turned off my cell phone. Put away my paperwork.
And took William (my oldest son) out for the afternoon. Just the two of us.
It was awful weather-wise here yesterday, so we drove to [...]

What I LOVE about doing my fashion series 365 Days of Fashion Advice for Moms is that I’m getting great emails from moms with their fashion questions. One fashion question that has come up quite a few times is the issue of leggings. Yay or nay, you’re wondering?
Here’s my take:

“Bring order to the chaos. And love keep loving each other. Show your boys your love.” The words of Marva Soogrim.
Ahh… words to live by.
I mentioned on Saturday that I was heading to the Ritz in New York City with my mother and Jane for Role Mommy’s at the Ritz event. The [...]

Don’t laugh. (I have to preface my blog post with this request before I go on… because I know I’m behind the ball on this one!)
But last night Henry slept in his own room — in his own crib — for the entire night!
This is HUGE for us.
Henry falls asleep every night in a [...]

My husband loves to “wrestle” with the boys. As William and Alexander have grown older, they love to team up and “try to get Daddy!” as best as they can. And now Benjamin has come of age… he gets right in the middle of things, throwing himself into the mix.
It is hilarious!
Well… [...]

What’s one thing you probably don’t pamper yourself with enough?
SOCKS!

Skirts.
Sometimes we run away from them. But really, we all should have one. Or two. Or three.
There’s always the question — what is the most flattering type of skirt to own?
Now… coming from me. All [...]

My niece turned 8 years old yesterday. 8 years old.
I remember January 14th, 2001 like it was yesterday. I was living in New York City at that time, and my mother called me to tell me that Nicole (my sister-in-law) was in labor. I called (my-then-fiance) Matt and told him that I [...]

I was away from home for 2 1/2 days.
That’s about 60 or so hours.
My husband was left in charge of the boys. All 4 of them.
I wasn’t worried about him actually taking care of the kids. He has that covered… I was more or less afraid to open the door and see dishes [...]

The 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards are on tonight.

I remember the first time I heard about SPANX.
I was watching Oprah one afternoon and she had on this very attractive, very vivacious woman named Sara Blakely who was talking about her footless hosiery, SPANX.
I immediately remember thinking – this is genius. Hosiery to help you look trim and slim and tucked and sucked-all-in.
But [...]

Let me set the scene.
I took William, Alexander and Benjamin with me shopping last week. We hit some of my good ol’ favorites – TJ Maxx, GAP, Banana Republic, J.Crew and Old Navy. While at Old Navy, I found 4 pairs of jeans that I absolutely loved. The kind of I-have-to-buy-them LOVE.
But…
William [...]

Today is the DAY. As much as I don’t want it to be… it’s time.
The cleaning/cleansing/purging/organizing of my closets.
I’ve been avoiding this for – well… maybe 2 years. Using my pregnant status as a great excuse… but now, it’s time. I need to get the clothes in order.
I have way too many [...]

Happy Happy Happy New Year!
2009… it’s going to be a GREAT year!
Last night, with my husband and my Henry, I watched “the ball” drop in Times Square (on television!). My 3 older sons were all fast asleep… Benjamin in his crib, Alexander in his bed and William on the couch. William tried as [...]
