If you’re a mom, chances are that “the girls” have been through a lot lately. Even if you didn’t breastfeed, you still had to deal with watching them rise to horrific proportions when pregnant, leaking milk, soreness, and slapping your husband’s hand away when they became engorged. If you did (or currently are) breastfeeding, add bad latching, letdown, teething...
Skinny jeans are hardly news these days. I know some of my friends were hoping they were on their way out....but no. Despite the fact that wide leg and trouser jeans are making another appearance, skinny jeans are still going strong. With good reason -- they are edgy, sexy, and, in the winter when the ground is covered with...
I am too old to dress like a teenager. I have been for several years now. It started when I hit age 27. I realized that certain styles no longer looked quite...right. Despite the fact that I’ve never really looked my age, after I hit 27 I no longer wanted to look teenager-y. Young is OK, illegal is not. ...
I loved this outfit. It was the first time I felt both dressed up and comfy since little man was born. I'm wearing a Marc Jacobs nylon tote instead of a diaper bag, a flowy DVF strapless dress and long grandpa cardigan. The dress is loose enough to hide my post-baby belly, and long enough to allow me...
Ah, the Trouser Jean. One of the easiest and fastest ways to look pulled together in a tshirt and jeans combo. Trouser jeans add just enough polish to elevate your look a notch, without giving anything up in the comfort department. The trick is to find Trouser jeans with real Trouser details -- you need more than just...
I love fall - the cool evenings, the crunch of the leaves underfoot, back to school shopping, cozy sweaters, a new pair of boots....and jeans. Sigh. The jeans. I am just SO very excited about the denim options this fall. We are truly in a time where everything goes -- wide legs, skinnys, bootcut, straight leg. Often the...
I was at the playground with little man. He’s too little to do anything except watch - which he loves. He could watch kids run around all day. It gives me a good chance to watch also, and look for style tips from the other moms. There was the usual contingent of moms wearing workout gear (which I don’t...
And by drapey, I don’t mean
the oversized tee in XXXL that was given to you for free at the last
conference you attended. Also to be ruled out are tees that are given
out on race day, or God forbid, any tee that says “Hard Rock Cafe” or
“Planet Hollywood”. The tees I’m talking about come from a different
planet completely.

This is my mom in 1975, in what is now considered vintage. I actually have those shorts. It’s August, it’s hot, and summer style should be easy. Throw on a cute tank, shorts, sandals. Done. This summer, style is looking reminiscent of ‘70s fashion, so I thought a real-life ‘70s example would be good. The daisy dukes are cute...
