MOMMA LOVES… graphic prints for women and kids

graphic prints

Max in his graphic ‘stache top and me in my Kate Moss version…

Prints prints prints are everywhere!  Graphic prints, which can be anything from an exact photo print to an abstract illustration, is super popular right now!  The technology designers have now make these graphic prints incredibly real, beautiful and unique.  Whether the print is hyper realistic or a more vague interpretation its almost a way of wearing art.  Ricardo Tisci for Givenchy has been sending these graphic prints down the runway for several years now and those designs instantly become the must haves for every fashionista and Mary Katrantzou became and instant designer when she first debuted enormous jewelry prints in her debut collection.  Whether you call it, trompe l’oeil, photo print, graphic prints – one thing is for sure – these printed pieces are attention grabbing, special and on every one’s must have list. Of course, our children have been wearing graphic prints all along begging the question of whether the appeal of a poppy print comes from our childhood and who’s influencing who?  Graphic prints are fierce, fabulous and fun – they can be referential, exquisite, ironic or just humorous.  Regardless, they are statement pieces and something special that everyone should have in their closet.  Remember, the key with pulling off a crazy print is to keep everything else simple – one of these stunning printed pencil skirts with a  classic black tee and blazer for the office, or one of these fun graphic print tops with jeans to the park… Here are some of my favorite graphic prints from us and our little ones…

MOMMA NEEDS… the perfect tee for women and kids

photo 1-2

Max and I are in our uniforms – relaxed and comfortable in our favorite tees.

The absolute must have item in every wardrobe is the perfect tee.  Nothing serves our purposes more than the t-shirt that looks great, fits great and can effortlessly give us both the comfort and style we want.  But, what is the perfect tee?  It is 100% about the fit and then the rest is up to you – the boyfriend tee shrunken down and tailored, softly worn, low cut and sexy or slouchy and cool – its the item we wear the most and when you find the perfect tee you buy it in bulk.  Now a days the t-shirt market is enormous – there is literally a cut, color and variation for every possible need/want.  The truth is, much like the perfect jeans, having a great t-shirt to throw on which allows you to feel and look great without having to over think your look is priceless (but not pricey).  Nothing is more classic than jeans and a t-shirt, so its just a matter of finding the perfect one (or ones) that suit your style.  Of course, for our little ones, t-shirts are certainly the easiest and most comfortable things for them to wear.  The key is the softness of the fabric for your babies delicate skin.  A soft worn cotton is so easy to put them in (which is essential for babies and kids that are constantly moving around and not always cooperating) and always comfortable whether they’re running around in the garden or taking a nap.  I have found the Splendid and Nununu lines to be the best – their cotton is brushed and softer than a babies bottom – certainly more expensive – so always good to keep an eye out when these lines go on sale!  Check out some of my top picks for the perfect tee for both us and our little ones.

MOMMA LOVES… heart prints – lets get ready for Valentines Day!

Valentines Day is once again upon us – it seems like the Christmas dust has only begun to settle and yet when I look around there are heart prints everywhere.   A holiday based on expressing your love for one another can’t be the worst thing and, to be fair, I really love heart prints.  I know I did a post a few months back on the love motif but I guess we could always use more love!  Children’s clothes will always feature plenty of love messages and heart prints because our children are the ultimate symbol of love but make no mistake there are lots of options for us as well!  Everything from jewelry to bags, shoes, tops and dresses feature the widely popular symbol of love and its will always be an iconic, wearable and feminine print.  I know this week I have been heavily focused on prints – but it just seems that women are looking for a way to wear their heart on their sleeves (ha ha ha – I couldn’t help myself).  But seriously, if what we wear can put a bit more love into the world why not celebrate it.  Heart prints will always be a popular, feel good trend.  Whether you’re looking for an understated heart shaped earring, or a sweater emblazoned with the L word there is something for everyone.  Nowhere are there more adorable heart prints than in baby and kids clothes – so get them ready for Valentines Day and share the love for the upcoming holiday!

MOMMA LOVES… Orange crush – great orange options for us and them

As you may have noticed, I like orange.  I always like a pop of color – but orange is so special because its a statement but it doesn’t have the girly-ness of pink or the look at me of red – its a unisex color with a bit of an edge.  Its vibrant and modern and it just makes me smile.  Its just  great contrasting color to pair with shades of white, denim, or even color blocked with colors like pink and purple.  I’m not talking about an orange overhaul – it might be a pop of orange print, and orange bag or just an orange lipstick…  It brings light to the face because it has such warm undertones and I absolutely love dressing Max in orange.  The beauty of orange is its also unisex – so when we were decorating his nursery and even when I’m shopping for his clothes I know orange will go a lot further (if we happened to ever have a girl).  I also like it because its easy to keep an eye on Max when he’s wearing a bright pop of color.  So, here it is – some of my favorite orange options for women and children!

MOMMA LOVES… backpacks are back

That’s right, I said it – backpacks are back!  Everyone from Chanel to Forever21 is doing their version of the backpack – so it seems that childhood is once again a source of inspiration for designers.  I must confess I was a bit repelled by the trend at first – remembering it from the 80′s and the mid 90′s when, as a teenager, we all rocked the baby backpacks (some of us even adding “cool” patches and calling it our BBP).  But this is not that…  Nor is it the completely functional Jansport or North Face bags we used daily to carry our books…  These backpacks are incredibly chic and actually amazingly practical!  Think about it – carry all your stuff (and everyone else’s stuff – I’m talking to you my darling husband and baby boy) and still be hands free!  Beyond, they are actually very beautiful – whether you’re preppy or bohemian – there are some stunning variations!  Yes, it may take some getting used to in terms of style but there are so many incredible versions available that you can’t help but love them and once you start carrying on and are relieved of all that shoulder pain you’ll never look back!  That said – how you choose to carry it is, once again, a personal style choice – one strap on one strap off or old school both straps on…  PS – backpacks are something our kids actually need – why not get them something they’ll LOVE to carry… It might just get them used to carrying their own stuff for a change…  The hot new bag is absolutely the backpack – so now you and your little one can truly enjoy the same trend and you’ll each wonder who’s copying who now…

MOMMA LOVES… shades of white accessories for us and them

Last week I did a post on shades of white clothing and I was SO amazed by what I saw I had to do a follow up post on all the amazing light colored accessories out there.  There crisp and fresh and brand new!  They are a must have for spring and give every look an elegant polish. It doesn’t matter what you put these white accessories with – color, black, more white – they will alway be the perfect final touch.  The abundance of white that’s now coming into stock indicates a huge trend approaching.  Most of the country has seen a lot of the white stuff due to the polar vortex and with spring approaching, get ready to see a lot more of it in our wardrobes!  White accessories are always a risk so make sure to scotch guard and leather protect to help keep them looking fresh.  Of course, I couldn’t forget our little ones – so there are plenty of white accessories to keep them looking their best… Until they find that mud puddle!

MOMMA LOVES… leopard print accessories

One of the most iconic prints of all time is the leopard print.  Its feminine yet cool, its lady like yet bohemian and leopard print accessories can add that extra pop of style into even the most ordinary outfit.  Adding a bag, shoe even a belt in this animal print adds an extra polish that can turn your walk in the park jeans and t-shirt into brunch with the ladies.  It is as wearable for the office as it is for a night out on the town.  The leopard print never goes out of style and is always a great investment as its the easiest way to add a splash of something special to your overall  look.  For those who might feel intimidated by the look – leopard print accessories are the easiest way to wear it!  Your go-to little black dress or jeans and a t-shirt look instantly transform  into an effortlessly stylish look with a shoe or bag in this fabulous print.  Check out some of my favorite leopard print accessories for us and our little ones – and I may have thrown in some extra accessories for the little ones that they can’t really wear but they’ll enjoy all the same!
