I mentioned last week that PURPLE is one of the hottest colors this Fall. In my post I specifically mentioned PURPLE eyeshadow… how it’s a color that needs to be pulled out and used! It makes a mean smoky eye. Well, I wanted to show some easy ways you can incorporate purple into your wardrobe — believe me, it doesn’t [...]

I went back and forth on this piece of advice… then decided to just go with it, simply because it’s FUN. Do you have a FASHION “IT” SONG? You know, that song… that particular song… when you play, just makes you feel good. We used to dance and sing and parade around to these types of songs in middle school [...]

Our feet can smell. They can. It’s simply a fact of life. Not one we all want to admit… but it happens. I got an email recently asking how to combat stinky shoes (not only for us, but our family, too). It’s hilarious… it’s as if this “emailer” read my mind, I don’t know what it is with my Benjamin, [...]

Lots of women love to get massages or facials or pedicures… my “love” is to get manicures. I love being able to sit down for 30 minutes and just sort of drift away while someone makes my nails look pretty. Truthfully… I don’t get to do this very often. Even though there’s a place about 2 miles from my house, [...]

While I was at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week I met Todd Okerstrom, Director of Personal Shopping at Bergdorf Goodman. Ahh… imagine that dream job. Todd was giving me his tips for Fall Fashion — things he’s seeing and styles he feels will be “hot” this Fall. His top 2 (oh, my!): 1.) BOOTS ABOVE THE KNEE. For a short girl (like [...]

When it comes to MOM FASHION, there are certain things we (as moms) have to keep in mind. I like to call these “rules” the true “litmus test” for MOM FASHION. 1.) Can you BEND down to change a diaper? 2.) Can you CHASE one of them in a sudden game of “tag”? 3.) Can you JUMP over toys? 4.) [...]

I blogged a couple of weeks ago about Donna Karan and her creation of the 7 Easy Pieces. For mothers, there’s nothing like finding an item of clothing that can be utilized in a variety of different ways. I love giving the example of the basic white button-down blouse because it can be worn in so many different ways – [...]

This is one of my BIGGEST FASHION DON’TS! Chipped nail polish. It’s one of my least favorite looks… not a good one! Get some NAIL POLISH REMOVER (me included!)

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week was all about Spring 2010. Each designer unveiled his or her looks for the upcoming Spring season. It’s ironic watching gorgeous Spring/Summer clothing grace the runway as Fall comes into view. While in NYC for the week – the weather went from 85 degrees Monday, to cold and rainy and about 65 degrees the last day. I [...]

I have to admit, when I was pregnant my breasts did NOTHING. I thought for 9 months I may get lucky and have my breasts get a little bit bigger… after all, my belly and legs and butt were, why not my breasts, too – right? Unfortunately for me, they stayed the same – which isn’t saying much, believe me. [...]
