MOMMA LOVES.. printed pants please

IMG_0474_2

I do love a great pair of printed pants to pop my look whilst still feel effortlessly cool.

I am all about some printed pants to reinvigorate my look.  I think a lot of people can bit a bit nervous about patterns – particularly on the bottom but they are such a great alternative to basic bottoms and easily styled with a simple solid top, tee, tank or sweater.  These printed pants are a pop of the unexpected – they add a bit of whimsy to your look and are instantly a style stand out.  Yes, they’re a bit wild but why not have a bit of fun with your style? Check out my favorite printed pants and add something new to your wardrobe that will certainly add life to your look!

MOMMA NEEDS… more deconstructed denim

Having kids is messy, loving fashion makes dressing a challenge so deconstructed denim is always a good idea.  Oh wait, except if you work in any corporate setting, in which case – save these for the weekend.The perfect deconstructed denim looks effortless, haphazard, hides the wear and tear of having a toddler but still looks super cool with flats or heels.  These jeans are the great common denominator – they’re one part easy throw on and go and then one part ready for an ironically sexy night on the town.  Gotta love an item of clothing that is so strangely versatile and these jeans have it in spades.  So, check out my favorite deconstructed denim and get ready to enjoy a laid back look that you can wear with style and with fear of you know who getting who knows what on them!

MOMMA LOVES… stars (prints not the celebs)

One of my favorite prints around are stars – there whimsical, simple and always cool.  Nothing like this great celestial pattern to appeal to us dreamers out there.  For kids, stars have long been a favorite print but, make no mistake – they are an equally amazing option for those of us that like to experiment with prints.  I think of it as classic enough to rival the stripe but for those of us who are a little more quirky.  Classic with a twist, these stars are a fantastic print to pop your favorite jeans, or pencil skirt and can hold their own for just about every occasion.  Check out my favorite star prints to transform your look with a little bit of the unexpected.

MOMMA LOVES… berry shades for a fashionable fall

photo 1-2

It’s all about the berry shades for fall – its red, but it’s a neutral… woah.

So, early prediction, berry shades are going to be huge for all.  As I look out into the bits of pre-fall starting to make their appearance I’m noticing a large amount of deep red hues taking over.  No matter what your skin or hair color there are certain to be perfect berry shades for everyone that may even take over this upcoming soon as the new neutral.  Burgundies and maroons make a strong statement in the most expensive, elegant way.  These super rich berry shades are a splash of something different – a great pop of color but in an unexpected tone.  Red has long been a go-to power color and this fall it’s all about going darker.  Check out my favorite berry shades for that perfect colorful neutral that will go the distance for fall.

Perfect palazzo pants please!

There is nothing more chic than the perfect pair of palazzo pants.  These super wide leg trousers move gracefully with a perfect balance of masculine and feminine.  You an wear these palazzo pants with flats or super high heels but either way they exude strength and confidence.  Sure, skinnies will always be around, but the pants make a different kind of statement.  They are a breath of fresh air and equally modern yet referential.  When you see these palazzo pants,  you immediately want to put them on.  Whether for the office, date night or just around the house they are a must have for every wardrobe.  Check out my favorite palazzo pants and prepare to turn some heads without giving anything away.
