Style for Real Life
One of the first things a new mother might think about is the decor for the baby's nursery. I remember when my first was born, we lived in an apartment with yellow walls in the second room. Easy enough. I chose a boy design that had some yellow in it. This time around (my 5th, also a boy), … [Read more...]
I'm about to have my 5th baby. (Well, in the summer.) So it goes without saying that I've been around the block a time or two when it comes to clothing small people. (Three of which are girls, which, in my opinion, are a little more fun to dress.) I've found that higher quality (sometimes … [Read more...]
(Prepare to be underwhelmed.) I'm very lazy when it comes to skincare and I pretty much use one main product: And that would be Proactiv's Renewing Cleanser. I've been using it since I was in high school, lo these many years ago. I don't even use their whole system; when I run out I order … [Read more...]
I like the idea of wearing a headband. They can be really cute and trendy and an easy way to dress up a hairdo. (Or glam up an otherwise, you know, bad hair day.) I mean, how gorgeous are these?! Target also has some really darling ones, several currently in their jewelry department. … [Read more...]
(Hint: they also have a section for women.) [PS: I was most definitely not paid to tell you about this sale (however unfortunately). Just sharing the love.] … [Read more...]
I'm a flip-flop kind of girl and where I live, we can wear them about 90% of the year. However. This year I thought I'd upgrade and get a pair of sandals with a strap. (It's quieter, for one.) The pair I REALLY wanted were these, from Boden: But I couldn't justify $88 for a pair of … [Read more...]
So I've been living in the same pajama pants for about, oh, 5 years now. Maybe (probably?) longer. They were covered in paint, ripped, fraying around the elastic band, etc., which all just screams ATTRACTIVE, doesn't it? Yeah, no. I thought it high time for an update. Well, what REALLY … [Read more...]
I'm a busy mom of 4. I wear my hair in a ponytail A LOT. And I do have thickish hair, but ever since my haircut, my ponytail has been looking a little sad. A few months ago, Trina blogged about her fabulous (and cheap!) backcomber find so of course I picked one up at my local Sally's -- for … [Read more...]
As I've been shopping for this spring and summer season, I've been noticing all the stripes! They're everywhere! (All of these were found using the search "stripe" on Boden, Gap, Old Navy, and Target. I tried to include the store name in the image titles, just roll your cursor over an image … [Read more...]
When we were doing our bathroom remodel, a couple of times I ran over to my neighbors' to use her shower. We live in an old historic neighborhood and many of the homes, including ours, only have one bathroom. (Which is why it needed some updating. Ahem.) Anyway, she had one of those nifty … [Read more...]
