I was in London last month and the biggest difference I noticed between here and there was STYLE (and I mean personal style as opposed to just being fashionable) but the biggest "take my breath away" difference was the men. Oh boy! My Best friend kept teasing me because as we walked through central … [Read more...]
Building Your Wardrobe on a Budget
March 24, 2010
I like pretty clothes. I can't help it. If I suddenly, unexpectedly fell into a great sum of money, you'd most likely find me at the mall, shopping the likes of Banana Republic, White House Black Market and Ann Taylor. I wouldn't be buying big labels mind you (well, okay, I'd probably buy one … [Read more...]
Because it’s never too early to think about summer sandals…
March 19, 2010
Around the country, it's finally beginning to look like SPRING. I can't believe that it's just the middle of March because we have had a series of lovely days here in Philly, interrupted by a few days of rain, but I can't complain; it's been known to SNOW here in March. It was actually nice enough … [Read more...]
Up On Platform Shoes
February 26, 2010
After college sometime ago...not too long ago...okay, long enough that we are talking about a trend coming back around. Anyway, like most grads, I set out to find a "real job." For my interviews, I knew I would need a couple of good conservative suits and a pair or two of practical shoes. … [Read more...]
For those whose cups don’t runneth over…
February 17, 2010
I've never been particularly "well-endowed." In our family, my sister won the genetic lottery -- great hair and a great bust line. (Not complaining -- merely explaining.) While my chest was average before I had children, nursing three babies took it down a notch (actually a full cup size!). … [Read more...]
Caffeine fix for your hands and feet!
February 16, 2010
If I can find time on the weekends, a few times a month I like to give myself a mani/pedi. Over the years, I’ve realized that I sometimes prefer home mani/pedis to many that I’ve had at a salon—it’s just so much better to decompress on the couch with my favorite polish while catching up on … [Read more...]
DIY: Capped Sleeves
February 4, 2010
Several weeks ago I did an in-between-sizes fashion post here on Chic Critique. Right after that, I found a great nursing-friendly dress (which are few and far between) and did a little follow-up post on the dress on my own blog. SEVERAL people have asked me how I altered the sleeves. So I'm … [Read more...]
A few links I really love…
January 20, 2010
It's been a crazy week in our house. (What is it about a Monday school holiday that seems to have you behind the eight ball the rest of the week?) In the interest of time (mine and yours) I thought I'd share a few quick links to things that have been on my radar screen as of late. 1. Hair … [Read more...]
Create a Pampering Oasis In Your Home
January 18, 2010
A blanket of pristine snow on the ground, a crisp wind from the North, the middle of winter is a time that cries out for comfort and pampering. Along with the mega dose of anything chocolate, our bodies crave soothing moisture and a sense of escape from the season that seems endless. There's … [Read more...]
