MOMMA WANTS… spiked accessories (rock n’ roll baby)

Add some spikes to your wardrobe with some ultra cool accessories!

I’m all about adding a bit of an edge to my look so I am always drawn to spiked accessories. While not wanting to be injured by my own stiletto I absolutely love this touch of punk that’s not just edgy but also incredibly chic! A little bit of heavy metal on your bags an shoes might be exactly what you need to transform your look from classic to modern. These spiked accessories have been around for many seasons now and won’t be going anywhere any time soon, and while the more hardcore interpretations are more likely to find their way into Kate Moss’s wardrobe than Kate Middleton’s I think there’s plenty of room for some rock stud embellishments for all of us. Two of my very favorite design houses that have been embracing this trend for seasons now, Christian Louboutin and Valentino have taken the classic punk staples and translated them to high fashion fabulous. Check out some of my favorite spiked accessories that will certainly add a bit of rock star edge while holding down some uptown chic to your look!

MOMMA LOVES… an east west bag (forever)

I’m a long time fan of my Balenciaga bags – yes, they’re awesome, but they’re also the ideal east west bag – I never have to hunt around to find my keys or phone – the proportions are absolute perfection!

I’m a girl that loves style and convenience – so I’m ALL about an east west bag. For those of you who might be unfamiliar it’s simply a bag that’s more of a horizontal style than a vertical (or north south) style. Easy to carry, super cute and the added bonus and main selling point (for me) so much easier to quickly and easily find things like keys, wallet, diapers, etc… The east west bag will always be popular and on point and I felt it was time to shine a light on it’s fabulousness (is that a word?). My Balenciaga city bags will always be some of my favorites and the style will never go, well, out of style. Chic, simple and sensible – a great east west bag is an absolute must have… So check out some of my favorite versions of this wardrobe staple.

MATERNITY MONDAY… baby bags for stylish moms

Been there done that moms and mom’s to be alike need baby bags – its the universal mom essential. One of the first things I bought when I found out I was pregnant was the Gucci diaper bag. My feelings were, I’m going to need to be carrying around diapers, bottles and all the many various other baby accessories so I may as well find one I love. Great baby bags don’t have to be strictly practical, I’m all about finding ones that will not only service your baby needs but make your baby-less friends ask if they make them without the changing pads and bottle holders… Ultimately, becoming mom means remembering to pack baby wipes in lieu of lip gloss – but if you have the perfect diaper bag their might just be room for both. Check out some of my favorite baby bags for all the stylish mom’s who want their accessories to be as gorgeous as they are functional!
