MOMMA LOVES… breton stripes for always

IMG_3969

Always in style and easy to wear – breton stripes are my favorite go-to!

I genuinely will never tire of breton stripes – it’s always a perfect go-to no matter what your style and it always looks effortlessly chic.  Whether your preppy, girly, rock and roll or boho it’s a universal go-to look that never dates.  Inspired by the french naval uniform and adapted into high fashion by Coco Chanel, breton stripes have long been a fashion favorite.  Back in the day icons such as Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn could be seen wearing the print and style icons Kate Middleton and Kate Moss, as dissimilar as their personal styles may be, will both be seen wearing this perfect look.  Polished and pretty yet classic and contemporary, breton stripes are an absolute must.  These pieces are perfect for every style and life style and never go out of style.  Check out my favorite breton stripes and get ready for your new favorite go-to look.

MOMMA LOVES… low top sneakers with almost everything

IMG_8767

Obsessed with my Superego low top sneakers – not only are they super comfortable but they’re also super cute with just about everything in my wardrobe!

I love heels, I do, BUT – I’m no fool and realize finding the perfect pair of low top sneakers is essential, not only for giving my feet a break, but also as the perfect finishing touch to lots of looks.  Sure, they’re practical, especially if you’re a mom that’s constantly on the run but they’re also insanely stylish too.  I have to say, I’m not talking about the norm core ones you could wear to work out, I’m talking about those great classic low top sneakers that are simple, chic and go with everything from boyfriend jeans to maxi dresses (and everything in between).  You aren’t Melanie Griffith in Working Girl or the New York secretary commuting on the subway – you’re a modern woman who has to get on with all the various demands of life and wants to find the happy blend of comfort and style. Check out some of my favorite low top sneakers that transformed this heel addict into a fan…

BIML1789

The perfect trench coat you’ll want to wear even when it’s not raining.

This outerwear never goes out of style and always looks chic while also keeping you dry!

Happy April – remember showers bring flowers and you get to wear your fabulous trench!

April showers bring may flowers and that’s great but it also means its time to break out the almighty trench coat.  My friends on the east coast and in Europe inform me that spring hasn’t exactly sprung in there parts and while we, here in California, are desperate for some rain there is plenty of it elsewhere.  While getting stuck in the wet isn’t always fun, doing it in style makes it better – which means a great trench coat is a must for every wardrobe.  Chic, tailored and, yes, water resistant this classic piece of outerwear has never gown out of style and with good reason – it blends form with function.  Check out some of my favorite rainy day classics and choose a great trench coat to get you through those April showers!
