MOMMA LOVES… kids holiday clothes (cuteness overload)

Last Chrismas, I couldn’t get enough of his little English gentleman look for the holidays…

I absolutely LOVE kids holiday clothes – there is something so insanely cute about our little ones all dressed up. Whether your little ones demand comfort (my little Max cannot STAND to be overly styled or fussy) or loves all the frills and finery – nothing says christmas memories more than little ones in holiday dress. Great kids holiday clothes could be thematic – santa and snowman prints or totally fancied – there are some adorable options to celebrate the occasion. Whether holiday parties or just family fun time – there are plenty of great reasons to get your little ones all dressed up this time of year!! I wish my little guy liked to explore the world of pants that aren’t sweat pants and enjoyed being styled (since I am actually a stylist) but he doesn’t – but that doesn’t mean the choices I make for him around the holidays aren’t plenty festive! Check out some of my favorite kids holiday clothes – everyone needs a reason to get all dolled up and Christmas might just be the reason we get to dress up our little dolls!

MOMMA LOVES… slim knits for layering

The perfect slim knits can layer neatly under a tailored blazer to easy transition you for various temperatures.

simple, yet chic and super easy to wear throughout the day and into evening…

Of course, living in LA this is about as layered as I get these days, but when I lived in London and New York my favorite heavy coat would easily fit over all of these layers!

Yes, I love a chunky cardigan, and being wrapped in an oversized pullover but its those slim knits that not only transition me to cooler weather but layer perfectly under everything from a skim blazer to my puffer jacket and winter coats… These are those fine knit knits that hug the body, look chic (when you take off your outer layer), give you that extra layer of warmth but also allow you to not overheat when you’re inside. They’re simple, elegant, easy to throw on over a little tank or tee and under everything else you put on. Fabulous slim knits may take a backseat sometimes to their louder, bolder, chunky cousins but they are every bit as important come fall and winter weather and they have the added bonus that they can last you through spring…. Check some of my favorite options and get your layers on!

MOMMA LOVES… a gilet (aka a vest)

A gilet is that perfect sleeveless layer that keeps your core warm and is super easy to layer over or under your jackets and coats.

It can be fur, fake fur, quilted but it gives you a cozy yet elegant injection of warmth.

The perfect vest you need for winter will also transition you during fall and spring when you just need it over a long sleeve top or sweater.

Clearly it makes me very happy. (and it might be all I need this winter, in Souther California, to keep me warm)

The other day, the weather here turned super crisp and I fell in love with a gilet. Some of you may not be familiar with the word gilet but you know exactly what it is, a sleeveless jacket (some might call a waistcoats of vest) and it’s the perfect item to transition you season to season and give you an extra layer of warmth in the dead of winter. They can be quilted, fur, fake fur, knit or any number of textures but they are incredibly stylish and that dreaded word for fashionistas – practical! The gilet is exactly what you need to layer over your knits now, over your jacket later and under your coat come any arctic spells… They can be perfect for our little one’s too keeping giving their core more warmth all while giving them the freedom to play in the leaves or snow. Check out some of my favorite gilet options and layer up this winter!

MOMMA LOVES…. puffer jackets!

Max and I last year in our puffers – mine from Zara and his from Oshkosh – this year he will be sporting his new Ralph Lauren puffer!

Modern puffers are cinched at the waist or at least tailored to a feminine silhouette to give some shape all while maintaining that cozy, warm appeal.

When I started to do my coats post I got so lost in the land of puffer jackets I knew they would need their own feature. Puffer jackets are soft and cozy like your duvet – they keep you warm and comfy but also protect you from all the elements. Once upon a time they actually looked like you had left your house wearing your bedding but now a days the cuts are feminine and actually really flattering making them a winter outerwear must have. That’s right, puffer jackets actually super chic and stylish now so you can wear them in the rain, snow or just frigid weather and still look great for an evening out, going to the office or just a snowy weekend away. Of course, for our little ones they are incredibly practical and necessary for when winter hits – the soft down keeps them insulated and the techno outer layer keeps them dry! Check out some of my favorite puffer jackets for both us and our little ones so you can feel like you’re still in bed but look like you’re ready to take on the town!

MOMMA NEEDS… winter coats (it’s officially time)

This Marc by Marc Jacobs coat has served me well – I may not need it as much in Southern California – but it withstands the test of time and tells the tale of an outfit while being perfectly practical at the same time!

That’s right, the bathing suits have been packed away and it’s time to start thinking about winter coats. Where I am in Southern California there may not be any need for the warmest coats (we think 60 degrees is freezing) but after years of living in New York and London I have a true appreciating for great outerwear. Winter coats are going to be worn every day for months on end so its important to select a style you love because it’s going to be the first thing people see, its going to be your shelter from the cold and it’s got to withstand time and the harsh winter element. These are the pieces you will get the most use out of this season, they have to be able to be layered and go with everything – not that you have to stick with a neutral (a pop of color or a playful print can be a great option. Check out some of my favorite winter coats (for both us and our little ones) and get ready to keep warm and look fabulous this season!

MOMMA NEEDS… winter white now!

Winter white is all about a crisp fresh look – a piece with texture helps give you a more wintery feel.

The great thing about wearing white in the winter – it transitions perfectly when spring hits! And as we already know, white is HOT for next season too!

While white may not seem like the logical choice for our little ones it sure does look angelic on them – just invest in some oxi-clean!

So, the weather (even here in Southern California) is starting to get cold and it’s time to break out your winter white clothes! I know it seems crazy and against the “rules” (white after labor day – poo poo) but its super chic and it’s not just for summer anymore!! You can where the frost color all year round but we just call it winter white come fall… Nothing looks as crisp and fresh as white and for those of us who don’t lead a perfect stain free life (hello, kids equal messy) it’s all about stocking up on some oxi-clean! Winter white is traditionally an off white to cream version of the traditionally summer hue – but I think that in this day and age even a crisp icy white can look appropriate (and incredibly chic) for the cold months! You can wear white on white, keep it tonal with shades of light, pair it with color for a pop, keep it modern and slick with black or soft and pretty with one of the many shades of gray flooding the market – you simply can’t go wrong! Check out some of my favorite winter white clothes to get you through the cold months and well into spring summer – there’s nothing seasonal about looking fabulous!

MOMMA LOVES… halloween costumes time!!

From superheros to the phenomenon that is Frozen and everything in between are available and ready to delight our little ones (and let’s face it, the adults who love them). So get your camera’s ready because it’s halloween costumes time and I’m rounding up some of my favorites for you guys (PS – I totally bought Max’s the moment they started hitting the shelves 2 months ago – waiting is not my strength).

MOMMA LOVES… cartoon style – pop print fun!

The kids know a thing or 2 that we can learn – like how great fruit is picked straight from the tree and that fashion doesn’t have to be so serious!

A bit of cartoon style pop prints are heating up the Moschino runway courtesy of Jeremy Scott and I think it’s a trend both you and your little one can enjoy together!

One of my favorite things about fashion is when its injected with a bit of whimsy which makes adding cartoon style pieces to your wardrobe essential. As the mom to a 2 year old boy, it can put a smile on his face but also check my fashion boxes. I have made reference to Jeremy Scott for Moschino’s wild references to everything from Sponge Bob Squarepants to Barbie but pop prints have has a huge revival and is not without it’s own fashion pop culture history. In fact pop culture is actually a perfect way to categorize these wild and humorous cartoon style references. Andy Warhol would have totally given his thumbs up! Our world today can be far too heavy so why not feature some of those childhood caricatures and wild cartoon style colors in our wardrobe. Of course, our kids have always known what we are just starting to figure out – fashion doesn’t have to be so serious – why not put some joy into the world with your style? Sartorially cartoon style will always get attention for it’s over the top flamboyance – but don’t worry, you don’t have to wear head to toe crazy to enjoy this pop art trend. Check out some of my favorite cartoon style pieces for you and your little ones and pair some of these pieces into your wardrobe and throw some levity into your fashion arena.

MOMMA LOVES… cool, sexy sweatshirts (what?)

Fall has officially arrived – its time to break out the sweatshirts – but these sweatshirts are anything but frumpy.

I LOVE this Monrow sweatshirt – its insanely soft and the back detail gives it a bit of a sexy edge.

Its still a bit too warm for Max to be wearing his super cool sweatshirts in LA but we are looking forward to fall and his cozy new tops!

I know sexy sweatshirts seems like some sort of oxymoron but imagine feeling the comfort of sweat but with the cut and style of something far cooler and sexier and voila! That’s right, once upon a time my wardrobe consisted of items that looked amazing but were either so uncomfortable I would change into jammies as soon as I got in my front door and/or so precious a butterfly gliding past would ruin it… Well, times have change and my darling Max has changed my wardrobe choices but not my aesthetic, so finding sexy sweatshirts that have enough style for my fashion appts yet enough comfort and versatility to wrestle my little one during a diaper change is key! The new sexy doesn’t have to be over exposed – the cool kids all know now that its not what you show but how you wear it – and it turns out comfort doesn’t have to mean ugly…Whether its the cut or about cut outs or even just a relaxed bit of edge – sexy sweatshirts are a must have! Fortunately for all of us, they happen to be totally in vogue at the moment even in a larger sponge bob square pants version (I kid you not – Moschino) – so we can all feel guiltless and chic about wearing what would have formerly been considered weekend couch attire. Check out some of my favorite sexy sweatshirts, and a few super cool versions (that aren’t sexy) for our little ones and get ready to get your stylish frump on!
