First Day of School Outfit (for mom)

Yeah, yeah, yeah… I did. I thought about what I was wearing. Come on, didn’t you? (Tell me I’m not alone.) Today was a BIG DAY in the McClelland household. William started 1st grade and Alexander started Kindergarten. Unreal. I’ve spent the last few weeks shopping and stocking up on clothes and shoes for the [...]

Fashion Alert: Must Have for Plane Travel

Yesterday I flew home from San Diego. I left San Diego at 11:25AM and arrived home at 11:00PM. It was a long day. Fortunately I didn’t have to worry so much about passing the time on my first long flight (from San Diego to Baltimore). I was lucky enough to hook up with Amy from [...]

First-Day-of-School Emergency Kit

Well, I did it. I sent my first born off to school. I didn’t cry the first day, but I did on the second. As I bent down to kiss him good-bye, I started to see his lip begin to quiver and my heart just broke. I asked him if he was OK (trying not [...]

It’s Fun to Play Dress-up at Any Age

I never ever, ever, ever get the chance to play dress-up anymore.  EVER.  When I was a little girl, I used to play in my mother’s closet for hours.  I would try on her jewelry.  I would wear her shoes.  I would wrap myself in her sweaters and dresses and blouses.  I would just have [...]

Shopping at Marshalls (for everyone)

I have been on the hunt for some dresses. Not just hang around the house and head-to-the-beach type dresses, but the kind of dresses that I can wear to work functions and events. That “area” seems to be pretty void in my closet. I jetted off to Marshalls (only 6 miles away from my home!) [...]

Fashion Tip: How to Keep Earrings from Getting Lost

I don’t have my ears pierced… so if you’ve noticed, I hardly ever talk about earrings. I’ve been trying to muster up the courage to get them pierced, after all – I have had 4 babies, one would think I could handle a little “earring gun.” But… I heard of the greatest tip from one [...]

Getting Gorgeous Events

How many Flower Shows… Home Shows… Boat Shows… Bridal Shows… Baby Expos and Business Expos have you been to or heard of? Living in the smallest state – Rhode Island – there is always something going on in Providence. I can imagine it’s the same in most cities across the country. BUT… what about fashion [...]

Personalized Jewelry for Moms – The Vintage Pearl

Personalized jewelry is something very special to a mom. There’s something to be said in having a very unique and beautiful piece – just for you – in your “jewelry wardrobe.” The Vintage Pearl is a wonderful place to shop at when you’re looking for that “perfect” piece. Recently I ordered for myself the “Names [...]

Wearing Shorts in the “Winter”

It’s pretty warm in New England today… it’s a balmy “50″ degrees. Since we’ve been braving the weather lately in scarves, hats, leg-warmers, puffer coats and boots – today was a refreshing day (to say the least). It was one of those days where wearing a fleece coat was plenty… for my guys, too. But, [...]
