MOMMA LOVES… printed pants for women and kids!

Max and I in out printed pants having a play in the garden. Max in lightening bolts and me in my blurred print Warehouse pants.

As you may have noticed – prints are king at the moment in fashion, and one of my FAVORITE trends are the printed pants. I’m generally a classic minimalist when it comes to color, silhouettes and prints but I have fallen in love with the slouchy, almost pajama style printed pants. They are the easiest things to throw one with a t-shirt and look incredible! These printed pants are chic and incredibly elegant without ever being overly fussy. Pair them with a simple t-shirt, blazer and heels and you’re ready for the office or a date night – just change the heel to a flat and throw on a sweater instead of a blazer and you’re comfortable enough to roll around in the park with your little one. The silhouette vary from skinny to wide legged to a slouchy track pant style but the over all look and feel is the same – comfy yet stylish – a win win in my book every time. Of course, our kids have been braving printed pants forever – always cute and special (while also helping to camouflage food and dirt stains) they’re a staple in our little one’s wardrobes and now our’s as well! Check out some of my favorite printed pants for us and them!

MOMMA KNOWS… the new spring makeup trends

The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen playing with my makeup… time to get some replacement makeup in time for spring 2014!

As the fall collections for 2014 are in full swing I’m looking back at what happened in the spring collections that we need to start thinking about now. I’m talking about the hot new spring makeup trends we can look forward to and start thinking about. The major happenings for beauty that we can look forward to is clean, barely there makeup for the skin with pops of color on the lips and eyes (not at the same time). The idea for spring makeup trends is fresh faced with pops of bright to move past the vicious winter. For those who are a bit more weary of color, shades of shimmery gold stunned on the catwalk and can give you and overall ethereal, fresh faced look with a bit of sparkle… Of course, nails are still fun and fearless, albeit it slightly more subdued than they have been. Beauty (makeup) is always the fastest, easiest and least expensive way to look amazing while keeping up with the latest style. Obviously, we can’t take everything that comes down the runway seriously (or else we might end up looking like we’re early for halloween) but there are plenty of beautiful looks that are sure to be capturing our attention at every beauty counter or drugstore makeup aisle right now. Check out some of my favorite new spring makeup trends that I’m ready to try now!

SKIN: Skin was all about keeping it au natural. Clean, beautiful, healthy looking skin where moisturizer was more apparent than foundation. For those of us who feel we need a bit more coverage go for a tinted moisturizer and invest in a great concealer… Also, go for more neutral tones of blush which can give you a bit of contour without adding too much color. Let your natural beauty shine through and get the best out of your skin for spring!

Clean skin – the runway beauty inspiration:

Mac mineralized moisture gel $39

Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer $43

Cle de Peau concealer $70 (the BEST concealer)

Nars illuminator in copacabana $30

Revlon photo ready skinlights face illuminator $10.99 (either in your skin color or in bronze to add more color/dimension to cheeks)

Boots No 7 lift & luminate day cream $16.99

Sonia Kashuk hidden agenda concealer palette $10.49

Boots No 7 sheer tinted moisturizer $10.19

LIPS: The hot new colors for lips this spring include shades of orange and shades of purple. This may sound a bit wild but its actually so beautiful and poppy – think fun and feminine! Of course, on the runway anything goes and sometimes the pigment may be richer than what we wear in our daily lives but consider these more lavender and tangerine tones for day (perhaps in a gloss) and then go for something bold and vibrant for a night out. Personally, I never like a lip and eye to both be bold at the same time so, when going for a pop of color on the lip stick with neutral tones on the eye lids and mascara (according to taste – I love lashes). The look will be fresh, vibrant but not overdone.

Shades of purple lips – the runway beauty inspiration:

EYES: A huge spring makeup trend was a wash of color on the eyes. There was plenty of blue but also various shades of pastel from greens to pinks and lavender. Don’t be afraid – people get so wrapped up in the fear that blue eye shade = 80′s tragedy – this is not the case – its modern, fresh, lightweight and beautiful. You can do any shade that you gravitate towards but traditionally shades of blue and green looks great on those eye colors and shades of purple and lavender look stunning with brown eyes – but don’t be afraid to experiment – one great way to do this is to buy a color palette with various colors and try them! The color wash means a full sweep across the lid, even accented a bit under the lash line…. And for those who aren’t ready to make the plunge – there were also great colorful looks with a simple eyeliner…

NAILS: Manicures have been getting crazier and more fabulous every season with celeb manicurists having to one up themselves constantly for the mani-cam. Fun nail colors can be the easiest and longest lasting way to look stylish! Colors for spring are various pastel shades from sea greens to apricots to periwinkle and various fun shades of navy, purple and chocolate. You can keep it simple with just a fun pop of color or get a bit crazy with a minimalist accent (a bow on your cuticle, an ironic french manicure, an upside down french manicure or perhaps even a monogram…). There are plenty of great options for the nail enthusiasts who want to make a subtle statement or get a bit more wild.

MOMMA WANTS… ankle strap shoes (jimmy choo choo choo baby)

Jimmy Choo choo choo (they’re actually Saint Laurent but you get the point…)

Ankle strap shoes have been very popular recently – it adds another dimension to a shoes silhouette but it also gives us the extra support (and who doesn’t need all the support they can get). The shoes, whether sky high heels, flats, or somewhere in between are the perfect blend of elegance and cool. No matter what style of shoe you prefer there are ankle straps on everything from boots, wedges, sandals, pumps and ballet flats. Ankle strap shoes can give you a bit of an edge while still playing it safe. In our crazy lives chasing kids and getting on with our work or daily errands we need a bit of effortless style and this accessory provides everything you need to be both stylish and even functional. There are plenty of variations on ankle strap shoes beyond heel hight there’s whether the shoes is all over strappy, more delicate and understated in it’s ankle strap or just has one big bold strap at the ankle. Easy to throw on with a pair of relaxed and distressed boyfriend jeans to transform your park outfit to your going out outfit but also conservative enough to wear at the office for an overall chic professional look. Check out some of my favorite ankle strap shoes – and since I always like to have some great options for our little one I’m playing with the choo choo idea and showing some of the great wooden toy options (PS – I’m obsessed with everything Melissa and Doug) for our kids. Wooden toys are greener, non toxic, more classic and all around great options for our kids’ cognitive development (and easier on our eyes and ears as well).

MOMMA NEEDS… jackets that can transition from winter to spring

Max in his denim jacket and me in tweed Rebecca Taylor – jackets are great transitional pieces to layer in winter and see you through spring!

As I have mentioned before, I have a slight addiction to jackets. They’re the perfect item in every wardrobe – they can transition your from desk to date, the park to brunch and from the polar vortex of a winter into the much anticipated spring time.

For most of you, the winter has been long and incredibly arduous, which makes looking at all the spring/summer clothes out there seem irrelevant - but great jackets are wearable all year round. Layer them under your heavy coats to give you that extra protection from the cold and then as the snow melts and the sun returns your good to go for the warmer weather!

MOMMA NEEDS… non skinny jeans for women and children

Max and I in our non-skinny jeans (me in J Brand love story flares and Max in Gap relaxed fit)

So, skinny jeans have been in for several years now… They are not showing any sign of going anywhere any time soon. I like skinny jeans, I think they’re great and I think they are flattering on most body types – but I also think its time to change it up and look for some non skinny jeans. A lot of women may not feel comfortable in the skin tight jeans that have dominated the market – so I wanted to do a post on all the amazing non skinny jeans option out there to keep you comfortable and looking your best! The denim market is so enormous and such a huge part of every wardrobe so its important that we all find our perfect pair. Non skinny jeans could mean a flared leg, a wide leg or even just a more subtle boot cut – all incredibly wearable and chic. I actually get so many compliments when I wear my flares because they actually are so flattering and people aren’t used to see in the silhouette! Non skinny jeans are also great for our little ones because, lets face it, getting them dressed can be a hard enough challenge without having to find a way to shimmy up a pair of skinnies!

They look great paired with skinny jeans or even a maxi dress – celebs have been rocking this look (with the help of designer Isabel Marant’s perfect wedge hi tops) for years.

MOMMA LOVES… polka dots

Just taking the pups for a walk in our polka dots and micro prints (sadly max’s are concealed by the gorgeous pups!)

Polka dots are hardly a trend and more of a staple. Feminine, sweet and yet effortlessly cool there is something about polka dots that keeps us coming back for more. They’re classic and safe but there’s noting twee about these spots. Now a days they’re more graphic, bold, varied and interesting. Polka dots are great graphic prints which feel safe and familiar yet they can still be strong and modern. Whether you like pretty and preppy or prefer a bit of an edge there are polka dots for every style that can take you from the office to the park to a night out on the town. This print is fun and easy to wear – perfect on our little ladies because they have that feminine youthful appeal but they can still be grown up and sophisticated for us momma’s as well! For the little boys, since they’re is not as much for them in terms of polka dots, I wanted to expand the print to include all micro prints… As the mom of a little guy, I know sometimes it feels as though boys clothing aren’t as fun… Perhaps, its because boys clothes aren’t scaled down versions of our own – but believe me, there are so many AMAZING options for our baby boys that I want to share with you. So, check out some of the great polka dots and micro prints for us and our little rascals!
