and go! Get ready for fall with some of the season’s hottest plaid pieces!

photo-2

Plaid is as adorable on the little ones as it is versatile for us – it can go seamlessly from the office to the weekend to the evening whether your preppy or punk – this trend is here to stay!

There is no question that everyone is mad for plaid this fall.  Various versions of the tartan print can be found on everything from relaxed western shirts to high fashion dresses making it THE trend to look out for.  Whether you prefer your plaid bold and bright or small and subdued there is an option that will perfectly suit your style.  Plaid is one part polished and conservative, so perfect for the office and one part referential to the british punk movement making it versatile, cool and style.  As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, a great way to wear prints is to combine clashing patterns.  So pair your favorite plaid pieces with each other or with florals, stripes or various abstract prints for maximum fashion effect.  Check out some of my favorite plays on plad and get ready to FALL in love (oh and its mighty cute on the little ones too)!

MOMMA NEEDS… transitional knits

photo 1

I am obsessed with my new ALC sweater – its the perfect transitional knit! I guess it’s time to get ready for fall!

photo 2

I actually look forward to wearing knits and jackets (this is southern California so nothing much heavier for us)!

photo 4

But we’re still going to soak in every bit of summer we have left!

Its that time of year again, when there are a few summer bits left on the sale racks and fall fashion is in full bloom – so it’s time to start looking for those transitional knits!  The great sweaters that will see us through the next few months as the nights get chillier but will still be entirely useful under those big heavy winter coats.  Transitional knits are not those great chunky knits – these are thinner, more streamline and add an extra layer of warmth without leaving you feeling over heated.  They are the perfect items of clothing to buy right now because you can wear it now and you can wear it later!  Transitional knits are the perfect pullover or cardigan to throw in your bag and throw over your summer look when the air gets crisp. Check out some of my favorite transitional knits you (and your little ones) have to have now!

MOMMA LOVES… playful prints (the more the merrier)

IMG_9684

Put some bright into the world with some playful prints for both you and your little one!

One of the major trends flooding stores at the moment are playful prints.  Everything from florals to abstract graphic to lightning bolts to animal prints are everywhere and they’re louder than ever.  These playful prints can stand on their own but the new way to wear them is to mix the unexpected.  Once upon a time one would never consider pairing plaid with floral but there are no more rules when it comes to mixing patterns.  Playful prints means just that, having fun, taking risks and reaping the visual style rewards.  Whether you prefer to stay classic or go wild and experiment with clashing prints – it’s time to embrace some playful prints for your wardrobe (and for the little ones too)!

MOMMA LOVES… a shift dress for all occasions

IMG_9247

A great shift dress can transition you for every occasion and season to season. Perfect for work, an evening out…

IMG_9348

even apple picking with my little prince…

The classic shift dress is the perfect go-to item for just about all of your needs.  A shift dress is quit a simple straight cut dress that sits close to the body without accentuate curves of cinch at the waist.  This style of dress was made popular in the 60′s with the mod look that countered the 50′s fit and flare silhouette.  A shift dress can be styled down for day with flats for running around town, dressed up for the perfect office friendly look and can also easily transition to sexy and cool for evening.  The shift dress is classic, elegant and so simple to wear regardless of your personal taste or lifestyle.  It is also a perfect dress for the little ladies in our life – always cute, adorable yet comfortable for them.  A great shift dress is also seasonless – perfect with sandals in the summer time or with tights and boots for the colder months, and you have to love items you can wear all year long!  Check out some of my favorites and have fun finding the perfect shift dress for you (and your little ones)!

MOMMA LOVES… chambray for effortless cool

IMG_9045

A great chambray piece is perfect for transitioning between season – the look of denim but lightweight enough for the warmest months!

IMG_9002

I love my Bella Dahl chambray top – pairs easily with any look – including denim!

IMG_9102

and how cute is my little Max in his chambray pants which gives him the look of wearing jeans but they’re so easy going on and off in the hot hot summer!

Chambray is that great lightweight fabric that resembles denim but its softer and perhaps more versatile….  Where as denim is reserved for jeans, jackets and skirts chambray give that effortless relaxed look to shirts, dresses and even joggers…  We are at that weird point in the season where its crazy hot out, but fall clothes are hitting the shops so its time to talk about transitional pieces… Chambray items transition easily from summer to fall making this the perfect time for it.  Whether you’re looking for a little dress, jumpsuit or a great shirt to pair with jeans (yes – you can wear denim on denim particularly when it’s chambray) these pieces fit all your style needs.  Its great for our little ones too because its so light, comfortable and looks so adorable on them!  Check out some of my favorite chambray pieces to smoothly transition you from season to season seamlessly and effortlessly.

MOMMA LOVES… fancy t shirts with a twist

photo 3

A fancy tee gives you the comfort you want but with a splash of something extra special,  allowing you to dress it up or dress it down.

photo 2

These versatile tees are essential for our complicated life – 1 item that can take us from chasing our little ones, to dinner out or even a business meeting!

photo 1

And yes, they’re super cute (and easy to get on) our little ones too! I am obsessed with Max’s Zara bandana trompe l’oeil tee!

Sometimes you want to look nice but feel comfortable and this is wear some fancy t shirts go the long distance.  Fancy t shirts are tees with a twist – some adornment, special fabrications or just an incredible cut.  Fancy t shirts are the antithesis of the slub tees – they are smarter, nicer and yes, even office appropriate.  They have the relaxed feel of your favorite tees but that little bit of something extra that make them the perfect top to dress up a look.  Fancy t shirts can add instant style to your favorite distressed denim or be just what your midi skirt needs to balance your look.  Check out some of my favorite fancy t shirts – they might just be exactly the piece you’ve been looking for to complete your look!

MOMMA NEEDS… pajamas (b/c bedtime should look good too)

photo

Bedtime should look good too!! Time for some great pajamas for both us and our little ones!

There is one area of my wardrobe I need to focus more attention on – my pajamas…  You spend a large amount of time out of every day in them and yet I find myself sticking to my husband’s old t’s and underwear….  While this is comfortable and easy, its time for me to grow up and look into getting some real big girl pajamas.  My little one looks so adorable in his jammies so, why can’t I?  Something soft and comfortable that doesn’t look like it should be used to clean the house…  There is nothing quite like a lazy sunday morning eating breakfast in bed and not getting out of our pajamas until noon so they may as well be cute, right?   I actually did a photo shoot a little while ago with a celebrity – and it was all sleepwear and I fell in love with all the Eberjey pajamas that I had pulled in for the shoot and it got me thinking…  It’s time ladies, time to start paying a bit of attention to the outfit we where the most that only our little ones, husbands and house guests are privy to – pajamas.  Check out some of my favorites for us and some adorable jammies for our little ones too!

MOMMA LOVES… fit and flare dresses

photo 1-2

Mom and Dad finally get a night out – he gets the keys to the house and we get some alone time!! (PS – don’t worry, he gets to hang with his Nana and Papou!)

My favorite little fit and flare dress is the perfect look for the rare occasion called – date night!

The hour glass silhouette defines femininity and nothing accomplishes this look better than  fit and flare dresses.  Form fitted on top with a defined waist with a increased volume at the hips is not only a figure flattering shape but has withstood the test of time for as long as women wore dresses.  Fit and flare dresses, in varying extremities, are a favorite among designers from haute couture to street style because they are captivating and architectural yet they actually make sense for real women.  Real women have curves and fit and flare dresses celebrate a woman’s natural shape.  Whether you’re dressing casually for day, conservatively for the office or with a bit of glam for evening there are incredible fit and flare dresses for every occasion.  Be it sweet or sexy the “new look” as defined by Christian Dior in the late 1940′s may not be particularly new – but it is tried, true and a classic go-to.  Embrace your femininity with one of these gorgeous fit and flare dresses (and ps – they are adorable for the little ladies as well)!
