Readers, I ran into Gwen at the Denver Botanic Gardens. It was one of those "warm? cold? now warm again? Nope - there's the wind!!" kind of days.
Gwen looked adorable and perfectly dressed for the weather in her soft gray and stripes.
Here's what I'm loving:
1. When in doubt, go striped. I'm always amazed at how much stripes can...
Spring fever has hit pretty hard. But despite our collective longing, Mother Nature rarely responds. And if you are in Marquette, MI? Hello, snow.
Even if you are dealing with snowdrifts, the easiest way to deal with a bit of Spring fever is to infuse a little dose of Spring into your outfits. We've talked already about gorgeous trench...
For some reason, when babywearing is the order of the day, I tend to reach for my denim. I almost always go casual (as evidenced by my own mom-style babywearing uniform).
Not so for reader Viani, who was nice enough to send in these pics of her so-very-sophisticated babywearing mom-style.
Viani is wearing a maternity dress by Nest...
I know I've harped on this before, but a great jacket can make an outfit. While I've been partial to my hunter green anorak of late, let's not forget about the iconic trench.
There are two points to keep in mind when rockin' the trench. The first is to not over-think it, and the second? To realize that the...
From now until Sunday, J.Crew Factory has 40% off all merchandise. Aaaannnd...it just so happens that I was in a J.Crew Factory store last week, doing a marathon try-on session. (And there's plenty for post-partum and nursing moms to be excited about.)
Here's what I'm loving:
This dolman striped top has a crazy-flattering fit. While you can't nurse in it, the...
I LOVE reader Tysie's translation of the J.Crew military jacket + maxi dress look we featured here.
Notice that she pulled a summery dress into rotation with dark tights, tall boots, and a military-inspired shirt.
Notice also that she used a cool leather belt in place of the usual fabric tie.
Notice also how crazy-adorable her daughter Lilah is. Holy Moly. ...
As I rule, I refuse to enter any restaurant that serves Italian, Asian, American and Mexican fare. It just never works out. So when the gals at Rookie Moms asked me if I wanted to review the Dria Nursing Cover, a cover that could be used as a pregnancy poncho, nursing cover, car seat cover AND stroller sun-blocker...I was...
As if it weren't obvious enough from my article yesterday on nude shoes, I'm in full-on Spring mode. However, the weather is not necessarily cooperating. Despite the constant Denver sunshine, temps continue to hover around "too cold for bare legs". Which is pretty much my barometer of real Spring.
One of my favorite styling tricks for gray days is...
Nude shoes are easily my top pick for Spring and Summer. They go with everything, lengthen your leg line, and will never go out of style. Never. Or as Raines would say, "NEVER!!!" (dramatic pause) "EVER!!!" (usually about bedtime).
Both pairs of my nude sandals are from...ummm...2002? 2003? And while one was purchased in suede and no longer looks...
Reader Ann sent in this adorable pic of the outfit she wore to a mommy-and-me gymnastics class. She styled her cardigan as a dress over a simple tee and leggings, then added tall boots. It's a cute outfit for running around town...then remove the cardi and boots and voila!! Here comes Mary Lou. And I love how she demonstrates...
