MOMMA LOVES… a distressed tee

Life with kids is far from pristine – I had just taken off Max’s pants, socks and shoes after a romp in the mud – so I’m grateful for a distressed tee that is both fashionable and sensible for tackling whatever my little guy throws my way…

T-shirts are a wardrobe staple and the distressed tee is one of my favorite versions of the old classic. No, your parents will never understand them, but as a parent they allow me to feel comfortable, stylish and not at all precious about what I’m wearing during my rough and tumble life with a toddler. A distressed tee may translate to a few holes, cutouts, complete tatters, or just a bid of fading.. The tears can be finished or frayed but the look is done undone and its a perfect go to for your casual look. In fact, I remember in my early 20′s buying brand new tees and cutting them up, resewing them, and leaving jagged edges to get the undone look – and now we don’t have to put in all that effort because the deconstruction has been done for us by the designers themselves. Designers such as LNA are absolutely killing it with some of the best, most interesting tees on the market by not being perfect but rather being interesting, unique and with the perfect t-shirt fit! Whether you’re just running errands, hanging out at home or taking a trip to the park, the distressed tee gives us the fashionable freedom to embrace our relaxed come what may lifestyle without sacrificing our personal style! Check out some of my favorite versions of the distressed tee – from subdued with polish to absolute destruction and look forward to a worry free weekend that’s also on trend.

MOMMA LOVES… metallic accessories

Metallic accessories go with everything and add a dash of something extra special to every outfit! These Manolo Blahniks are one of my favorite pairs of shoes – and guess what, they never go out of style!

Summertime means whites and brights, weddings and barbecues, and the best pairings for all of these summer looks is undoubtably metallic accessories. Its not secret that the various shades of metal, from rose gold to chromed out silver, have been super hot for bag and shoes so now is the perfect time to take the dive because this trend isn’t going anywhere. Metallic accessories are eye catching yet elegant, bold but still safe and they go with everything!

MOMMA NEEDS… denim shorts for us & our little ones!

Summertime means popsicles, the outdoors and relaxation – denim shorts are my weekend uniform… and Max looks pretty adorable in them too!

Summer months mean its too hot for our tried and true blue jeans – so denim shorts are the way to go for running errands to poolside barbecues. Whether your prefer classic, colored, distressed, cut offs or cuffed – denim shorts are the easy breezy styling option to go with your favorite tanks and tees. Nothing says relaxed summer attire like a great pair of denim shorts – certainly not office appropriate but entirely weekend worthy! When Saturday comes around they are the first thing I throw on in he morning – incredibly cute with flat sandals, an ankle boot and even a wedge these denim shorts are the perfect alternative to jeans for both us and our little ones during the hot hot months ahead!
