Whites are trending big this season and neutrals have come so far from plain old tan. Soft, pastel hues like blush, dusty blue and mint have made their debut and become the new essentials to a well-rounded wardrobe. Neutrals have definitely garnered a bad rap over the years - deemed dull and boring, or overlooked in favor of more colorful trends. But...
Getting all three kids out the door (let alone looking cool while doing so) is, mmm...nearly impossible these days. For the madness that is school drop-off, I've been throwing on work-out clothes with the least amount of baby puke so yeh...I look hot. Hot mess, that is. It has gotten so bad that the ONE day I actually put...
My first army jacket was bought ten years ago in a Parisian flea market. (Stay with me here - I realize that's one heck of a pretentious opener .) I felt so very worldly, as I strolled through le marche, jacket casually tossed over my arm. Ou est la cafe, Monsieur? Ah, bien. Merci.
The reality, however, is that the...
Every few years, trends....shift. Barely at first (I swear, on a year-to-year basis virtually nothing changes), but over time these little movements amount to the difference between perms and beachy waves: both are curls, sure, but you'd never confuse one with the other. (Unless you have a *magic* perm, and in that case, let us all know.)
So trends. They are a-changin'.
But...
Okay…peasant tops. My most difficult Mom Edit "style challenge” yet. It's not that I don't like them (believe me I'm dying to love them) it's just that I've never found one to make me a believer. Something about the shape...or lack-there-of...looks back at me like: "potato sack. Jess, you are wearing a potato sack." Potato sack syndrome is a thing, I swear!...
Hi tops, y'all. Pink hi tops. Hellz to the yes I did. Whispering pink, that is. I can seriously only do a whisper of pink at any given time. You may have already seen them over on Instagram (follow me @elletrain over there).
Comfy and badass at the same time, these Vans SK8-Hi Slim Zips are my new favorite shoes for...
The white sneaker trend has been around for several years, and while most shoe trends would have fizzled out by now, stark white sneaks aren't going anywhere soon.
I’ll admit it took me awhile to warm up to the trend, mainly because I am one of the messiest people on the planet. I seriously cannot keep anything clean- I usually need to change...
Need a quick wardrobe refresh? Yeah. Me too. I've been trying to figure out what particular Spring trend to highlight, what new and exciting twist could make our hearts sing. And after scrolling through pages and pages of pretty dresses, flowy skirts, and sky-high heels that I have no business looking at (while in my sweatpants, mind you)...I tossed it all...
Online shopping can be seriously overwhelming. Especially during Spring when temps are wildly swinging around, carelessly playing games with our hearts and giving us mood disorders. (YAY IT'S SUNNY I LOVE EVERYONE!! boooo it's cold go away.)
Anyway, one of the goals of this blog is to help edit. To cull through the seemingly infinite amount of products and highlight only those worth...
The end of February and beginning of March is my least favorite time of the year. As my fellow Midwestern residents can attest, these weeks are particularly bleak and uninspiring. It's still very much winter, the snow shows little sign of letting up, and there are no more fun holidays to look forward to. The last thing I want...
