I live in light cotton knit dresses in the summertime. I need dresses that are lightweight and easy to move in and can get dirty playing with the kids, and they need be able to go from the playground to dinner and to serve as an easy swimsuit cover-up. I stopped by Target this week and spent less … [Read more...]
Fun Jewelry on a Budget
May 10, 2011
I work in retail, and one of the biggest challenges I have is spicing up my work wardrobe. The easiest way to do that is with jewelry; however, I hate to fork out a lot of money for pricey jewelry that only stands up for a season or two. Enter Forever 21 jewelry. I have been ordering jewelry … [Read more...]

I know I talk about it a lot, but I am a big fan of cardigans. But you know what you need to wear with cardigans? Something underneath. (I know, genius, right??)

I spent the last two weeks cleaning out my kids' closets and under their beds and sorting through their dressers. (Yes, it took me two whole weeks.)

Orange and Purple Madness at NYFW Spring 2011
February 24, 2011
Amidst the sea of bland khakis and skin tones, bright orange and purple colors dotted the spring 2011 runways at New York Fashion Week. I loved the orange dresses in Carlos Miele's, J.

Dressing Children Fashionably – Tricks of the Trade
February 10, 2011
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...]
