This picture of my three girls shows age appropriate style at it's best - the toddler in the pretty dresses and pink, the six year old still in dresses - but now starting to mix-n-match pieces like cardigans and leggings to show her own style, and then my eight year old who now just wants graphic … [Read more...]

Chic Summer Hats
April 25, 2011
We got a little taste of beach weather here this weekend so my mind is on beach fashion. The only thing more important than sunscreen for keeping your face looking young is a hat. If you have to wear one, why not make it cute? There are so many to choose from I might just get a few and rock a new … [Read more...]
Work Looks that Work
April 13, 2011
Trends this spring are soft and muted, and work wear is no different. According to my latest email from Banana Republic, the office dress code is "a little softer, a little prettier, but always polished." Here are three office looks they put together: Look #1: Instead of a blazer, try a … [Read more...]
{Fashion Friday} Trend Alert: WHITE is HOT!
April 8, 2011
Word on the street (or in my email inbox) is that white is a must-have wardrobe staple this spring. Last year I bought a Lucky Brand white handbag that I enjoyed carrying. It wasn't a bright white - it had just a hint of bone, which keeps the white modern - we're not talking 80s white here. I am … [Read more...]

March 30, 2011
Upcycled clothing for children has really grown in the past year.

What I love about upcycling is that the clothing is made using old clothing that … [Read more...]

Fashion Friday: Tie-Neck Tops
March 24, 2011
Really. Is anything sweeter than a pretty bow? Lady like and elegant, this is one trend to try this spring! The tie is a built-in accessory. You can wear some jewelry if you want, but its hardly necessary! And they can be dressed up or dressed down in an instant - very versatile! Midnight … [Read more...]
Go Nude…On Your Feet
March 15, 2011
It was around this time last year that I read something about wearing nude-colored shoes for spring. "Nude shoes?" I thought. "GROSS!" But we all know how I usually stand corrected on fashion trends, right? (AHEM, jeggings and Ugg boots, anyone?) I bought a pair of nude wedges last year from … [Read more...]
