Gilligan & O’Malley are at Target, it’s a fabulous (and affordable) sleepwear line. I’ve always loved Gilligan & O’Malley because their clothing (especially their tees) are tissue-soft tees. I love layering a few on top of each other, they are so cuddly and soft and comfortable.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. There’s nothing like it. The bustle. The craziness. The chaos. And in some odd way… I find peace and calm within it all. I just love it THAT much.

White House Black Market has become one of my havens. I love it there. I even wore a Little Black Dress from White House Black Market to the PeoplesChoice.com Fashion Recap. There’s something about the cuts and the styles… very classic, elegant, trendy and feminine all at the same time.

“What is a Shift Dress?”
Last week I mentioned a Shift Dress in one of my posts and immediately I got a bunch of emails asking me to define a “Shift Dress.” What makes it different from a Sheath? A Wrap? A Jumper? A Maxi?
Well…
A Shift Dress is something all women should want [...]

This is one of those pinch me moments. Truly.
For those of you who don’t know me in “true” real life… there are a few things I live for (beyond my kids and husband!).
1. Fashion
2. Celebrity Gossip

So you can imagine how excited I was/am when Tide asked if I wanted to head to [...]

I mentioned last week that PURPLE is one of the hottest colors this Fall. In my post I specifically mentioned PURPLE eyeshadow… how it’s a color that needs to be pulled out and used! It makes a mean smoky eye. Well, I wanted to show some easy ways you can incorporate purple [...]

I went back and forth on this piece of advice… then decided to just go with it, simply because it’s FUN.
Do you have a FASHION “IT” SONG?

When it comes to MOM FASHION, there are certain things we (as moms) have to keep in mind. I like to call these “rules” the true “litmus test” for MOM FASHION.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week was all about Spring 2010. Each designer unveiled his or her looks for the upcoming Spring season.

I’m back from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week! I have to say, as much as I loved loved loved watching all of Spring 2010 Collections debut… there’s nothing like coming out of the train station to 4 boys and 1 man all screaming, “MOMMY’S HOME!” You gotta love the people in your life who love [...]

I didn’t see any fashion shows yesterday… instead, yesterday was all about the pretty and glamorous stuff off the runway.

Donna Karan is my favorite designer. I love how she designs for every woman, and truly wants to make a woman feel her most beautiful and be the most confident she can be. Donna Karan addresses needs. It’s not just about the clothing, it’s about the feeling you feel dressed in the clothing. [...]

Summer’s over… maybe not officially, but school’s back in session and all the local pools are closed (at least in New England). It’s bittersweet. I’m looking forward to the fall, but I already miss the warm summer nights, where it was light out until 8:30PM. So it hasn’t been surprising to be [...]

In the days when I could actually watch Oprah (B.K. – “Before Kids”), I remember one episode in which she featured C&C California.

There were these two California girls talking about how they started a t-shirt business together. Oprah kept saying over and over again how “soft” their line of t-shirts were. I must [...]

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 [...]

Lands’ End is one of my go-to places for sweaters. They always have such an incredible variety of styles and colors. They’re the kind of sweaters you wrap yourself up in on cold fall/winter nights and you just feel warm and cozy. There’s nothing like it.

I love Back-to-School shopping! I loved it as a child (I needed leggings with stirrups). I loved it as a teenager (I needed Guess jeans and a striped green Benetton rugby). And I loved it as a collegiate (I needed J.Crew chunky knit sweaters). I’ve just always loved the rush and [...]

September is National Fall Hat Month.  (I’m not kidding.)
I just found this little fun-fashion-tidbit out the other night as I was browsing for some great Fall hats.  I have to say, at first… I thought it was a joke.  Then as I kept googling it — it became apparent, that September really does hold the [...]

Skinny jeans are tough to pull off. Let’s face it, they are.

When I was in high school, the Limited had a collection of pleated plaid skirts that I just had to have. Blame Alicia Silverstone’s character Cher in the movie Clueless… but they were just “totally-chicly-cool.” (And yes, I even had to have platform loafers.)

Fashion is an unbelievable thing. A good unbelievable. Clothing can truly alter a person’s mood… think about it. When you have on an outfit that you absolutely LOVE, you feel good and you exude a confidence that can’t be faked. It’s knowing you look good and feel good. When asked [...]

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 [...]

When it comes to dressing monochromatically (I’m thinking this is a word)… it doesn’t mean you always need to stay with blacks.

I don’t have any kids going into “school” this year. William missed the kindergarten cut-off by 25 days, so he’s back to preschool for another year.

I’m asked all the time about sweater wraps. I guess my constant gushing about them has been heard. I’ve had many women mistake a cardigan shawl for a sweater wrap. Not that that’s a bad thing… cardigan shawls are fabulous. They bring the same amount of versatility to an outfit. [...]

I went to get my nails done with my sister and good friend, Alli. As we were looking through the different colors, I kept looking at O.P.I.’s Lincoln [...]

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 [...]

I love a good Hanes white tee. LOVE IT!
There’s nothing like having a soft, cozy tee to wear.

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 wanted to show you some different styles that are out there right now… plus, these dresses are great for disguising any belly/stomach/hip regions we don’t want completely exposed.

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 [...]

You know I’m all about fashion and style. It’s my passion and my love.
But I have to say… especially today… there’s nothing more fashionable and fabulous about being healthy. Whether you’re working out… eating healthy… stopped smoking… cut-back sweets… it’s all good. All good and fashionable and fit – especially for moms.
Why [...]

On May 8th, we partnered up with Bellani Maternity to makeover over a lucky mom for Mother’s Day. Not just makeover… we wanted to give a mother a day just for her. A day to relax. A day to feel beautiful. A day to be given the “royal” treatment. And a [...]

As the new creative designer at Liz Claiborne, Isaac is bringing gorgeous colors to summer fashion.
I love this question and Isaac’s answer -

I’ve received a few emails asking where I bought the “red dress” from Tuesday’s video with Rebekah from SheFinds. I also wore it last night on my LIVE stream for Mom’s Nite Out.

The dress is by Max Studio. I actually bought it last summer after I had Henry. I wanted to find [...]

Yup!
Hanes brought together a “crew” of influential lifestyle bloggers – known as the Comfort Crew – to talk social media. It was refreshing to see a brand reach out in such a unique and oh-so-very-cool way to engage and learn and chat with bloggers.
I have always been a Hanes girl. I wore Hanes [...]

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 [...]

A fellow member of the Hanes Comfort Crew is Rebekah from SheFinds.
I have been a big fan of SheFinds for years! And… it was absolutely wonderful meeting Rebekah and becoming friends. Rebekah looked chic and fabulous everyday as we hit the parks, so I had to interview her for one of my Fashion [...]

Walking around Disney for the last 5 days… I’ve seen a ton of Fashion DOs and (oh, yes) some Fashion DON’Ts.

A question was emailed to me from a Tammy Brootner (thanks for letting me use your name!) from Indiana.
“What is the rule of thumb when it comes to hemming your skirts? I do all of my own hemming, as to save money.”
Tammy, GREAT question! Skirt hems should be parallel to the floor. I remember [...]

I’m “reporting” from Disney this week as a member of the Hanes Comfort Crew.
One thing I love to stress when it comes to fashion is being COMFORTABLE! This is key! We’re mothers. We run. We play. We walk. We carry. We are just – literally – constantly on-the-go! [...]

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 [...]

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.
It comes as no surprise to me that [...]

When it comes to fixing my hair on-the-go, I usually turn to 2 things – my flat iron or my Velcro curlers.
Velcro curlers are the perfect item to toss in your hair, and just go about doing things around the house (because you really don’t want to be seen out with them!). I [...]

I’ve talked Crocs before. Essentially, my blog post was – To Croc or Not To Croc.
Well, last week I came across a fabulous and funny vlog on NewBaby.com by Jendi of the blog Jendi’s Journal.
Jendi tossed out a “Croc” question… and well, I couldn’t help but answer it. Or, better put… give my opinion.

We’re here in Pittsburgh…
The 10 hour drive wasn’t so bad – besides Henry pooping up his back 2 times (good thing I packed extra clothes) and Alexander being car sick – it really was uneventful. The boys watched movies (thank you to my friend Sue for letting us borrow her dual DVD players – [...]

With Earth Day approaching, I’ve been scouring the internet for some amazing “green” boutiques.  I’ve had so many women email me asking me for specific places to shop.  That’s the easy part for me, so I’m glad you want me to share some of my favorite boutiques!
Bohmo, a green boutique, is amazing.

Earth Day is April 22, 2009.

Get a little “green” with a cool, hip gro-pak from Blue Avocado.

I usually maintain my eyebrow “arch” by tweezing. It’s something I have to do every couple of days or so… whether I like it or not.
BUT! My fashion (well, beauty) advice today for mothers is all about WAXING. It’s important to get your eyebrows waxed once every couple of months or so (I’m [...]

Style is a difficult thing to define. Not everyone knows her own personal style. Even myself – I tend to gravitate towards different types of styles. I love the classic look of J.Crew clothing. I love the boho feel of Urban Outfitters. I love the easy-pieces and simplicity of Old [...]

One of my good friends, Kelly from Bellani Maternity, sent me a great tip for cleaning your iron. This is something I never, ever do… so this tip was HUGE for me to get.
