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

Fashion Advice for Moms: Super”MOM” Capes!
OK… not really capes, moms (although we do deserve them!). I had a few women email me last month asking about capes. “Fashion Do or Fashion Don’t?”
Immediately when “capes” come to mind, I think of my 3 oldest sons running around the house in these -

And believe me, [...]

I’m a handbag girl through and through. I’ve always gravitated towards bags, even over shoes. But not just any bags… incredible bags. Bags that can and do stand up to the test of time. As much as it’s fun to have some different bags in your wardrobe… clutches, hobos, satchels… it’s [...]

Have you ever looked at old photos of yourself and wondered… “Why, oh why, oh why!?”
Yeah, well – that was me this past weekend. Every year we put together a slideshow of photos for the boys’ birthday party. Even though they don’t “get” how special the photos are, we do. It’s amazing [...]

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 [...]

Seriously, we all know that there are these kinds of days. It’s SO HOT in Rhode Island today, I can barely walk across my living room (no a/c) without breaking a sweat. It’s day like this where, I quite literally feel like wearing nothing… but, well… that just wouldn’t look “right” heading into [...]

I’ve been getting questions asking about my white bag from my post last week – “Can you wear white after Labor Day?”

BIG, WHITE BAGS are just fun to have… they’re not the latest trend, they’re not the hottest trend… they’re more or less one of those items that you either love or you don’t love [...]

It’s Saturday… and I have enjoyed giving advice on Saturday that is more book/magazine related. Sometimes it’s easier to dissect fashion advice when it’s in a book – neatly laid out and organized (especially by chapter).

I love, love, love getting questions from readers. This one came through earlier this week, and I thought it was a GREAT fashion question.
Here goes…

I wear a lot of t-shirts, especially in the summer, and more and more they are sheer t-shirts, like this one:

… which I love, but which is super see-through. [...]

I love it when I find some fashion/beauty/style websites that I could literally spend hours on (OK, that’s only if the boys are napping or in bed for the night!).
My friend Lesley from Fashion Tribes emailed me about… OSOYOU.COM. It absolutely ROCKS! I love it! Essentially you STARE (at clothes). You [...]

Women have been asking for me to share some great fashion books… books that will inspire the fashionista within!

Let me preface this post with this statement — my husband is a HUGE Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
When I was pregnant with our oldest son, William, my husband ran out and bought me (us) a Steelers jersey. Black mesh with gold numbers. Classic Steelers jersey.

He wanted me to wear it all the time — [...]

Gottcha. (wink, wink!) I’m talking clothing here, not actual men.
I have been seeing Boyfriend Jackets EVERYWHERE lately!

You know I love TJMaxx and Marshalls. They are my “meccas” for finding amazing designer clothes at such affordable prices. Over the last 7 months, as I have been doing my “365 Days of Fashion Advice for Moms” series, I have really honed in on the AWE-someness of shopping these 2 stores.
So… [...]

I’ve chatted before about “staple pieces” — so let me ask you today… do you have some of these staples?
1.) White button down blouse
2.) HEELS (a really good, chic and sexy pair)
3.) LBD, a Little Black Dress
4.) Jeans that fit you like a glove or ones that you just absolutely love
5.) [...]

I thought this post would be appropriate today since I’m heading off to Boston today to meet up with some TJMaxx folks and get an inside look at some Fall fashions.

I have found a GREAT FASHION book by Nina Garcia –
The Little Black Book of Style.

If you’re looking for a fun, carefree, informative book on fashion and style and trends… this is a GREAT book to pick up and check out.

I’m a HUGE lover of bronzer throughout the summer. As much as I love the sun and getting a little pick me up here and there with a little tan, it’s just not smart to do. Bronzer is (literally) my best friend in the summer.
I am in LOVE with Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess…

There are certain pieces that we should have in our closets… I love to call them your “staple” pieces. The same goes for handbags and shoes and makeup. We should all have those “staple” pieces of everything.

We all have that pocketbook/purse/handbag that goes everywhere with us. I mean, everywhere. [...]

Bring on the dressy tops! There’s no need to bring every single pair of pants or jeans or shorts you own to BlogHer. Do yourself a favor and bring one or two pairs of “something” (I would suggest a pair of jeans and a pair of khakis) and stock up on some dressy [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’m a handbag girl. Well, handbag mom.

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 [...]

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 [...]

It’s going to get HOT.  Very hot.  And very soon.

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

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

I was sent the book Michelle Style by Mandi Norwood in the mail last week.
