MOMMA WANTS… rompers for summer!

Rompers are the perfect summer look that still allows me to explore the wilderness with my little guy.

Feminine enough for date night…

…yet comfortable enough for a play date with my Max.

The sun is shining, winter’s knits are moving to the back of the closet and it might just be time to break out some rompers! Rompers are the jumpsuit’s sexier shorter cousin and the perfect item to wear all summer. They’re brilliant because they’re easy to wear (you do’t need to figure out what top goes with what bottom) and they’re comfortable – you get the fit and feel of a little summer dress but the comfort os shorts. Our little ones have been wearing these sweet little one pieces forever (and they are SO cute) but now they are just as popular, chic and effortless for us as well… They’re so east to dress up for a night on the town with some great jewels and high heeled sandals or dressed down with some flat summer sandals for a trip to the park. Versatile, comfortable and incredibly stylish – rompers are the perfect go-to summer outfit. Check out some of my favorite rompers for us and our little ones you’ll never want to take off!

MOMMA LOVES… born free – fashion for the greater good

This month in Vogue – check out the amazing Born Free story (photographed by Annie Leibovitz) and shop the collection to help end mother to child HIV transmission in Africa

Born Free is a collaboration between Shopbop Vogue and 22 designers (all of them moms) who have come together to design a collection of clothes for both women and kids and 100% of the profits go towards ending the transmission of HIV from mother’s to their children in Africa. Everyone from Victoria Beckham to Miuccia Prada to Carolina Herrera have gotten involved to create this collection. Having been born in South Africa and having known people who have lived and died from AIDS and being a child of the 80′s when the diagnosis was a death sentence it is beautiful to see that this disease can be beat. Mother’s with HIV do not have to spread the disease to their unborn children and Born Free is not helping to spread the awareness but is using fashion to make an actual difference (the goal is to eradicate mother to child HIV transmission before 2016). Read more about it in this month’s Vogue or on vogue.com and shop the collection on shop bop to help make the world a better place. Check out some of the amazing Born Free pieces and don’t be afraid to shop for the greater good!

MOMMA NEEDS… summer cocktail dresses

My husband (in tails) and I (in a Thakoon cocktail dress) at a wedding awhile back – that’s right summer weddings are upon us and it’s time to figure out what to wear!

Wedding season is upon us and so it’s time to dust off those summer cocktail dresses and figure out if anyone who’s going to be at this event has seen you in it before… Well, it might be time to look for a new one because there are so many stunning dresses available and social media means everyone has already seen you in the ghost of cocktail dresses past. Since I’ve already done a post this week on clutches I figure it’s only fitting to do a focus on some beautiful spring summer cocktail dresses for all your upcoming engagements… I’m going to leave the little black dresses for another post and just focus on some of the gorgeous evening dresses that we don’t get to wear often but bring out our inner glamazon. We may not walk the red carpet in our daily lives so when these events arise we may as well enjoy them! PS – just a reminder – unless you ARE the bride or the bride has specifically asked people to wear white it is the ONE fashion rule never to be broken. No white, no cream, no off white at weddings. Check out some of my favorite summer cocktail dresses to give you a reason to get excited about dressing up (and some mighty cute things for our little ones too)!

MOMMA LOVES… embellished clothes (who doesn’t like a bit of glam)

I adore an embellished tee to add a bit of glamour to an otherwise relaxed look.

Last week I featured incredibly adorned accessories, so today I wanted to share some beautifully embellished clothes that are out there. From jackets to skirts, dresses and top incredibly adorned with jewels, embroidery, brocade and the like. Unique pieces that make fashion exciting. Embellished clothes have been flooding the runway and now filling stores at every price point and for every lifestyle. I’m not suggesting head to toe glitz and glamour – sometimes it might be just a bejeweled neckline or tasseled hemline – but these details do the accessorizing for you. Embellished clothes are also far more versatile than you might imagine – a simple tee with a bit of adornment can work just as easily with a pair of distressed denim as it can with a pencil skirt for work or dinner and even with a maxi skirt for a more formal affair. The little ladies have always been enamored by a bit of sparkle, so share a bit of their bejeweled appreciation with some of this season’s gorgeous embellished clothes…

MOMMA LOVES… pastel clothes for spring!

Max and I enjoying our Easter Egg hunt in pastels.

Creamy pastels are the quintessential hue for spring.

Hope everyone has had a great holiday and are inspired for Spring time!

There is nothing quite so pretty as pastel clothes. Its the quintessentially feminine color that actually breathes warmth into the air and makes you want to smile. I find these subdued shades of pink, blue, yellow, green, lavender and orange refreshing and captivating. Pastel clothes are a true statement that spring has arrived. The capture attention, not in a loud in your face way, but in an interesting have to have it kind of way. The creamy hues are easy on the eyes and as lovely as they are for us they are equally sweet on our little ones. There’s a reason baby blue and pale pink are the go to favorites for expectant moms, and even how a lemon yellow or sea foam green are the most popular unisex colors.

MOMMA LOVES… the preppy look – polos, chinos and shirt dresses oh my!

Max and I working on our tennis moves..

A preppy striped look is always clean and forever classic.

Ralph Lauren kids – it doesn’t get cuter than this…

I must confess that, although I grew up in Virginia, I’ve never considered myself preppy… That said, I reserve a place in my heart for the always popular preppy look – clean, polished and classic – this style never loses it’s steam and was incredibly popular on the s/s runway. The shirt dress and various collared business casual adaptations were everywhere and, even for those of us who are less conservative, the preppy look has certainly been modified for every taste from sweet to sexy to cool. American sportswear designers from Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors and Alexander Wang have always included very classic clean looks in their collections – the perfect shirt dress, the essential chino and even the polo shirt are no longer just for the southern belles and prepsters of the north east. Modern style is all about mixing various styles and at varying price points (think of my favorite Kate’s – Moss and Middleton who are style icons for their ability to mix). The preppy look can give you that refined twist to your look that polishes it off and for our little ones there really is nothing sweeter than a bit of miniature preppy. Check out some of my favorite preppy pieces for both women and kids!

MOMMA NEEDS… cardigans for spring

It’s cardigan time – that time in between seasons when the air can get crisp and you’re happy to have the extra layer – Max and I never leave home without one!

Cardigans are a MUST have in every wardrobe. They are the perfect item of clothing to throw on when the air gets crisp or layer before the weather gets warm – they’re also great because they’re easy to toss into your bag so that you’re always prepared. This is particularly important during spring when the weather is constantly shifting and you want to make sure you and your little ones are comfortable. These lightweight cardigans aren’t going to transform a look but they certainly can withstand the test of time and trends. The key is to find cardigans that suit your personal style that are soft, comfortable, special enough for you to love them but classic enough for you to always want them. Whether you’re preppy, sporty or like a bit of an edge (my favorite cardigan actually has spikes) there are so many amazing options that can give you the extra warmth without distracting from your look… For our little ones cardigans are the quickest easiest way to add that extra layer without too much fuss. Check out some of my favorite cardigans for you and your little ones to keep you prepared for anything…

MOMMA LOVES… this Stella McCartney Kids dress

I LOVE this Stella McCartney Kids dress!!

I will probably only ever have boys… My husband is one of 5 boys and all of his brothers have boys and I LOVE my little boy and wouldn’t trade him for anything – but this Stella McCartney Kids dress makes me wish for a little girl!!! Seriously, he tulle, the stars the layers – the sweetness. This dress is just so insanely cute and sweet and darling when I saw it I fell immediately in love and had to share it with all of your mommas of little ladies… I am obsessed with the Stella McCartney Kids line anyway, she has brilliantly designed clothes for our little ones that are sweet, darling yet also incredibly cool and modern. That said, this dress takes it to another level and leaves me wanting my only little baby ballerina. Check out this adorable little dress for your pretty princesses.

MOMMA LOVES… harem pants (that’s right -harem pants)

Max and I rocking out harem pants – me in Free People and him in Nununu

Relaxed, comfortable and stylish – these aren’t MC Hammer’s pants.

Although they are MG HAMMERson’s pants (Max Gerald)…

Max and I having a snuggle…

You might think I’m talking crazy but I have totally jumped on the harem pants band wagon. At first I bought them for my son thinking how cute they were – a little drop crotch gave his droopy diaper butt a bit of style but then I kept on seeing them… I started styling them in my head…. And then I bought them. Harem pants are a fantastic alternative to skinny jeans – casual and relaxed yet easy to dress up. Now, I’m not talking about the old Hammer pants of yore with a crotch below the knee – I’m saying a classy slouchy harem pant that is the perfect partner to your favorite tee and flats for a trip to the park which can just as easily pair with a camisole and some fabulous heels for a night out (throw on a blazer and you’re ready for the office)! Ultimately, these pants are incredibly comfortable but the silhouette gives it enough of something special to make a stylish statement. I still love harem pants on my little guy cute and easy to get on and off and now I love them for me too! Check out some of my favorites that you’ll want to wear all spring!

First harem pants for us:
