MOMMA NEEDS… the puffer jacket for us and our little ones.

Baby, its cold outside and what better way to keep warm but the puffer jacket! Its like wearing your comforter – cozy and warm, but you don’t really have to LOOK like you’re wearing your comforter. Puffer jackets are still wondrously comfy, but tailored and chic and perfect to throw on with jeans to the park, as well as over a little black dress for a nice dinner out. Weather and water resistant, they allow you full movement, look amazing and protect you and your little ones from the frosty winter weather. They also provide and extra layer of protection for the clumsier little ones out there – its almost like wrapping them in bubble wrap! So, here are some of my favorite puffers at every price point for us and our precious little ones.

***special note – when buckling your child into a carseat ALWAYS take off their outerwear. Things like puffer jackets add extra bulk to your little one and in a crash that could mean s/he is not properly buckled in according to their actual size….

First for the momma’s…

MOMMA LOVES… in honor of Movember – the mustache and lips pop prints

It is that time of year again, Movember, and I wanted to do my bit to draw attention to men’s health. Since neither I nor my child can actually grow a must ache myself, (thankfully), I wanted to feature the insanely popular mustache print trend. I am coupling it with the lips print trend to add a bit of feminine flare for both us and our wee ones. It may seem crazy to wear mustache and lip prints, but as a stylist I have always believed fashion shouldn’t be so serious… Why not dress with a bit of humor and levity, (within reason – I mean we still want to look chic) and these pop art prints are very of the moment. So, ladies get your husband’s in for screening and without further adieu, here are some of my favorite lips and ‘staches: First for us…

MOMMA LOVES… the ultimate evening jackets

Its gotten colder and the days of going out without sleeves have long passed. Sure, we have our lovely coat but when we get where we’re going for the evening we lose that and then what? The jacket for evening is an essential for every woman. The classic black blazer goes a long way but can really dull down a lovely dress where as these jackets can make a look not break it… They’re tailored and sleek and with a bit of something special whether its embroidery, sparkle, a splash of color or just the special way that its been cut. You can throw it on with jeans and a white t-shirt and the jacket instantly transforms your look from casual mom on the run to glamorous woman ready to hit the town. The holidays are approaching which means tons of dinners and parties ahead and what better way to polish of your look! Here are some of my favorite jackets for a night out.

MOMMA WANTS… Isabel Marant for H&M

That’s right, you heard me, Isabel Marant – darling of the fashion world – is doing a capsule collection for H&M and it arrives in stores TOMORROW – November 14th! Isabel is known for her bohemian meets rock n’roll style and, basically, does EVERYTHING right. You can’t help but salivate over everything new and amazing she comes out with and the fact that she is now doing a far more affordable (though still pricey for H&M) collection is beyond major! Every magazine, stylist, blogger, celebrity and fashion editor is clamoring to get their hands on these hot ticket items. There were massive press events last night in New York and Los Angeles for said editor, bloggers and celebrities and everyone went nuts shopping to their hearts content and now you can too. But, be warned, this collection will sell out FAST. I’m talking instantly and then the only way to get your hands on the deigns will be when it ends up on ebay at twice the price. I should note that this is not just womenswear, she has done mens and… KIDS! I have highlighted some of my top picks below – its not available to buy just yet… a few more hours ladies… on your mark. get set….

MOMMA LOVES… the union jack print – it not just for the royals!

Okay, yes, my husband is English and my grandmother is english, which makes my son more English than anything else – but I just happen to love the union jack print. For those unfamiliar with “union jack” it’s the British flag but also a long time symbol for everything from the punk movement to the monarchy and it is a print that transcends British pride and has become a part of our pop culture. No other flag has been used so often and in so many ways as the union jack. Countless artists, musicians, fashion designers and even furniture designers have used the british flag to represent everything from anarchy to just great aesthetic design. We can see it used in fashion at the highest end by designers such as Alexander Mcqueen as well as in less expensive labels and children’s lines. My darling Max has been wearing his union jack printed clothes from the moment he was born (of course he was born when the UK was hosting the Olympics so you can imagine the amount of onesies, pjs and various other union jack souvenirs we were gifted) but has continued to rock the design. I myself am obsessed with my Alexander Mcqueen spiked union jack clutch (which I have featured here in a past post) as well as my Zara tees emblazoned with the flag. Why not salute the birth place of the Rolling Stones and the Sex Pistols as well as Kates Moss and Middleton! So, here are some of my favorite union jack inspired items that will give you that effortlessly cool look whilst keeping that stiff upper lip!

MOMMA NEEDS… a winter coat for us and them

Its that time of year again… Coat season! For some of you, its already below zero and snowing, while for others (such as myself in southern California) it getting into the 50′s at night and we too are freezing (thinner skin and all). So, unless you are in the southern hemisphere, its time to buy a winter coat for both you and your little ones! Buying a great winter coat is important on so many levels, first off – its something you will most likely put on everyday so it needs to be both functional (keep you warm) and beautiful (often its the only thing people are going to see). These 2 things don’t always go hand in hand – coats can often look frumpy, tired and conceal all the hard work you’ve put into choosing your nice outfits! So here it is – my favorite coats of the season for you and your little boys and girls… Please note that I do like to include some crazy expensive options, which may be affordable for a small handful of you, but more than anything they are meant to be inspirational. Seeing what the top fashion designers are doing just further illustrates how AMAZING the less expensive lines are at delivering high end designs at more affordable price points! So without further adieu…

MATERNITY MONDAY… this week’s top picks for all you pregnant ladies!

Welcome to my second Maternity Monday where I chose my top picks of the week for the mom’s out there who are expecting. I can’t say enough just how hard it was getting dressed those 9 month of pregnancy… I struggled every day with my new body and figuring out whether to show it off or cover it up. Its a relief for me to see so many amazing options for pregnant ladies that don’t necessarily have to cost a fortune or change your personal style. So many designers now do maternity ranges. An extra style tip, buy great maternity tank tops from the gap or target (super soft and inexpensive)n and layer them under some of your normal (more flowy) tops… This gives you the extra belly coverage but still allows you to get mileage out of the wardrobe you already have! Here are some of my favorite maternity must haves…
