MOMMA’S UNDER $100… high style for less $$

IMG_9514_2

This is my favorite thing under $100! But as far as clothes and accessories go their are plenty of great options too!

This world is expensive and while we may love fashion and need clothes finding high style for less money is exactly what we’ve been looking for.  This world is expensive, especially with kids there’s a whole new level of costs you may not have anticipated – which means that staying on top of the latest trends becomes the least of our concerns.  However, as it turns out, looking fashionable doesn’t have to break the budget because finding high style for less is more prevalent than ever.  These designers are working hard to make great less expensive options that don’t sacrifice taste levels – and I am all for that!!  Check out my favorite high fashion style for less options that will give you the look you want at the price you want too!

MOMMA KNOWS… pumps pump it up

IMG_9176

My Christian Louboutin pigalle pumps are my forever shoes – these are actually my second pair of the exact same pair – the first pair lasted 10 year until they started to fall off my feet.

I remember being 20 and thinking pumps were the end of youth – that these pointy toed footwear meant the beginning of adulthood and corporate life.  I held on to my clunky platform boots and my 90′s baby tee that proclaimed “Fashion sucks” when I first started at Conde Nast in the late 90′s only to come face to face with a pair of Gucci pumps (from one of Tom Ford’s first collections for the luxury brand) and, of course I fell head over heels (literally) in love.  The perfect pair of pumps is trendless, timeless, effortless and fabulous.  There are few accessories that can work so well with so much of your wardrobe – from pencil skirts to boyfriend jeans than these seasonless heels.  Check out some of my favorite pumps that you won’t ever want to take off.

MOMMA LOVES… low top sneakers with almost everything

IMG_8767

Obsessed with my Superego low top sneakers – not only are they super comfortable but they’re also super cute with just about everything in my wardrobe!

I love heels, I do, BUT – I’m no fool and realize finding the perfect pair of low top sneakers is essential, not only for giving my feet a break, but also as the perfect finishing touch to lots of looks.  Sure, they’re practical, especially if you’re a mom that’s constantly on the run but they’re also insanely stylish too.  I have to say, I’m not talking about the norm core ones you could wear to work out, I’m talking about those great classic low top sneakers that are simple, chic and go with everything from boyfriend jeans to maxi dresses (and everything in between).  You aren’t Melanie Griffith in Working Girl or the New York secretary commuting on the subway – you’re a modern woman who has to get on with all the various demands of life and wants to find the happy blend of comfort and style. Check out some of my favorite low top sneakers that transformed this heel addict into a fan…
