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… amazing animal print clothes for women and children

Last week I did a post on leopard print accessories… So, of course, I had to follow it up with leopard print clothing this week. There were SO many amazing leopard print items that I could have just post on that but I really wanted to include all the other incredibly cool animal print clothes that are out there. From snakeskin to zebra to tiger prints – its a jungle out there in the fashion world! Animal print clothes are so great because they are equal parts lady and cool – simultaneously modern yet classic – which means they pretty much look great on everyone! One key point I have to mention is that you mustn’t ever wear head to toe animal print – this is a big fashion no no. If you’re wearing a leopard print dress – there is no need to wear the leopard shoes and bag – and certainly no zebra pants with snakeskin print tops. These prints are best as a pop – one statement piece per outfit! That said, there truly is nothing chicer than a fabulous animal print and if you don’t already have an animal print in your wardrobe, it might be time. Its the easiest way to look stylish effortlessly. Jeans with a leopard print top to the park and you could still feel comfortable and casual while also looking pulled together. And, how cute are the little ladies in a bit of leopard? I couldn’t resist all the amazingly adorable animal prints for kids which is a really modern yet girly look. Of course, there wasn’t much in the way of animal skin prints for the boys but I’ve not left them out… Scroll down to check out some great looks!

Golden Globes red carpet madness!

Flashback to one of my first posts on red carpet trends… Its the Golden Globes today and Max and I are gearing up for some red carpet fun. My prediction for the Golden Globes red carpet trends remains the same as it was several months ago – black, shades of white (from diamond white, to ivory to the palest colors) and shades of coral (from the pinkier to the more vibrant red orange hues) as well as lots of sheer, lace, embellishment and sexy! See below for some of my favorite dresses from the F/W 2014 collections for looks I’m hoping to see on my favorite celebrities on the Golden Globes red carpet. I’m looking forward to seeing what stylish mom nominees like Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock and Kate Winslet will being, not to mention those hilarious moms hosting the show – Tina Fey (a fellow greek) and Amy Poehler… And of course, one of my favorite fashionistas – Kerry Washington is fully pregnant – how will she chose to style the bump? I’m looking forward to all the Golden Globes red carpet hits, misses and bling!

MOMMA LOVES… a ray of light – shades of white clothes for us and them

Just because its winter doesn’t mean we have to rule out white clothes! Fashion rules are always meant to be broken so forget all that no white after labor day stuff. For those less adventurous – there are so many varying shades of white from soft pinks and grays to winter white and cream to choose from that will allow you to get the fresh look of summer even while the frost is upon us. There may be snow on the ground but let the white inspire you and look forward to spring time ahead! I have done my post on babies in black shown you plenty of little black dresses, but nothing looks as crisp and polished as white (plus it matches everything!) and there is just something about little ones dressed in white clothes that accentuates their beauty and innocence. For women, white clothes are incredibly elegant and feminine and for our little boys and girls wearing white just punctuates their purity… If you’re worried about whites getting dirty – fear not – it comes with the territory of motherhood… You and your little ones can wear those stains proudly until you can get out your tide to go stain remover or home to throw everything into the wash! FYI – my fashion friends and I swear by these tide pods for getting whites their whitest! Its a new year and a fresh beginning – why not start out 2014 with some classic whites?! I have to tell you, this is one of the hardest posts I’ve done because there were just SOOOO many amazing things out there for both women and children it was really hard to narrow down… PS – I would like to note that shades of light were a big hit on last night’s People’s Choice Awards red carpet. Everyone from Jennifer Hudson to Jessica Alba to host Beth Behr and so many more rocked varying hues of white making it an official trend.

MOMMA LOVES… peplum

Peplum, for those unfamiliar, refers to when a garment has a short skirt-like attachment which creates an hour glass silhouette. It has made and enormous resurgence recently and can be seen on the runway, on celebrities and in every store for both women and their little ladies. The fit and flare look is always incredibly feminine yet also (conveniently) quite forgiving. The peplum attachment is often featured on tops, jackets, skirts as well as dresses and is simultaneously sexy, sweet and elegant. The silhouette is one part va va voom yet at the same time can help conceal the extra couple of pounds we might have packed on during the holidays – its basically a win win! The key to styling it is to pair a peplum item with something with a slimmer cut (a pencil skirt, skinny pant, fitted top) in order to create the always desirable fit and flare shape. It is equally adorable on our little girls – almost like a toned down tutu. The extra flounce of fabric gives an added girly-ness to any outfit which your mini-me will surely love! Check out some of my favorite peplum picks for both women and their little ladies.. First for the grown ups:

MOMMA KNOWS… what tops to wear with leggings

I recently did a post about the best leggings and how to wear them – but I wanted to do this follow up post with the best tops to wear with them. This is a constant challenge – what tops to wear with leggings – trying to find something long enough and with enough volume to compliment the bottom without looking frumpy. The two go -to tops to look for are tunic and oversized sweaters. However, this is where things can start to get messy – always think about the overall silhouette – you don’t want to look like Dorothy from the Golden Girls or like a throw back from the 80′s. The brilliant thing about this look is that it is so comfortable yet it can also be effortlessly chic and stylish as long as you know what tops to wear with leggings. I wore leggings paired with oversized tops with blazers or sweaters throughout my pregnancy and you could barely tell I was pregnant until about 7 months in! So there is the additional advantage that it can hide any extra padding you might have packed on during the holidays and it certainly helped me post baby to mask the non-baby weight! These tops are versatile, chic and compliment the look of leggings or skinny jeans and can easily take you from the park to the office to the date feeling comfy but looking great!
