Birthday Fashion Picks

Today’s my 34th Birthday! I’m marking it on my Mom Fashion Blog with 5 of my FAVE Fashion Picks (otherwise known as things I wish I could get for my birthday!)… 1. Louis Vuitton’s Artsy MM… I know this sucker isn’t going to be in my closet anytime soon, but OMG… I DO LOVE it! I’m such a LV lover, [...]

Today’s My 34th Birthday!

Today’s My 34th Birthday!

I’ve always loved my birthday.  Always. I remember years and years of going to bed on May 22 and just not being able to fall asleep because I was so excited for the 23rd to come! My parents made my birthday so crazy-special when I was growing up.  All the way till I moved out on my own, my parents [...]

Best of Beauty Tuesday: Venus and Olay Razor

Best of Beauty Tuesday: Venus and Olay Razor

It’s Best of Beauty TUESDAY! I didn’t think it was possible to actually fall in love with a razor. But, I have. I have literally used every single razor under the sun.  I’m going to be honest here, I could shave my legs every other day if I had the time.  My leg hair grows SO fast! So… let me [...]

The 1st McClelland Girl is coming! (Thanks to my sister-in-law!)

William, Alexander, Benjamin, Henry and Jeffrey… these are the “McClelland” boys. My in-laws have had 5 grandsons in a row! With each pregnancy (especially after Alexander), everyone kept saying, “The McClellands need some PINK!” Yes, we do. Finally we’re getting some! We celebrated my sister-in-law’s baby shower yesterday for my niece to be — Amelia (love the name!). We had [...]

Happy Birthday, Audrey and a NYC Birthday Memory, too!

34 years ago yesterday, I woke up, got dressed, headed to my English teaching job, got a bit into 1st period of the day, felt something strange, looked down, couldn’t see my feet or the floor beneath me because I was almost 8-months pregnant (back then, we measured in months, not weeks!), asked a student if he saw blood… He [...]

The perfect Junior Bridesmaid dress for Auntie Jane’s wedding… at JC Penney

A journey to JC Penney for a lovely Junior Bridesmaid dress… There’s a story to every special occasion dress, I suppose. The Plan. The Hunt.  The Journey.  The Catch. And the story of the Junior Bridesmaid dresses for Taylor and Maddie, Jane’s two nieces and my two granddaughters, for Jane & Brian’s July wedding is no exception. Jane & Brian’s [...]

When “the shoe’s on the other foot”… your Mom’s foot, that is.

A 3-inch stiletto heel for my 87-year old Mom… ? I know I’ve officially labeled my Mom, Rita, as the first Fashionista I ever knew.  Because she is. This is a photo of my Mom & Dad in 1965.  I still remember this lovely dress and how lovely my Mom looked in it.  She was the epitome of grace, beauty [...]

Brushing with the Oral-B ProfessionalCare SmartSeries 5000 with SmartGuide

I’ll be honest, I hate brushing. It’s the last thing I want to do when I wake up and the last thing I feel like doing before I go to bed. My family can attest, I’m not a morning person. It takes a while for me to feel human and on top of it, I’m in a rush trying to [...]

Daily Diary: Sometimes you just need to be KING

I don’t get much alone time with any one of my sons. It’s something they’re used to, so it seems to work OK for us. But… when I get the chance to be alone with one of them, I treat them like a KING. Today was Henry’s turn… Those were new shades, which he refused to take off the whole [...]

bareMinerals Faux Tan Collection at QVC

I’ll admit it, I’m a tanaholic. There, I said it. I’m just someone who loves a good sun-kissed look on my skin. But here’s the deal — I refuse to sit out in the sun and I refuse to go under the bulbs. It’s not safe and it’s not healthy. So… that being said, I’ve had to get creative in [...]
