Bathing Suit Round Up: Ruffles, gingham, and seersucker!
When bathing suit season rolls around, most of us fall into 2 categories: Apply our self tanner & start shopping up a storm or Hide our pale skin, tell ourselves last year’s swimsuit is in great condition, and avoid the subject until the first sunny day of summer requires it. And of course, this year we are in the midst of the Coronavirus and unsure of when our lives will go back to normal, so bathing suits might be number 1,087 on your list. I get it. But if you DO want to focus on our apocolyptic springtime coming to an end, then let’s talk about swimsuits. I used to…

Gingham or floral- Get 30% off Casely Cases!
I’m particular when it comes to buying a new iphone case. Rightly so, because I tend to buy just one and use it for 3+ years. And we all know that our iphones are something we look at multiple times a day… So I wanted a pattern I love looking at, but is also super durable. Did you catch the 3+ years I expect it to last?? I know, I’m acting like I’m buying a car or something, and it’s just an iphone case….but still... So after I purchased my new iphone 11 in September, I got to work searching for the perfect case….and I found it. It was beautiful!…

The only denim worth spending money on
I am a diehard Madewell fan. Their jeans are quite possibly the best jeans ever invented. One of the reasons is that they come in multiple rises: 9″, 10″, or even 11″. I prefer the 10″ because they suck in my tummy and keep everything in place. Winner! They also mold to my body, I never have to tug on the waist, they don’t sag or stretch out, they make my butt look great. (Aren’t those everyone’s requirements??) I could stop there, but another great thing about madewell is that they come out with new styles and colors all the time! They aren’t dirt cheap, but they aren’t so ridiculously…

5 Tips for creating a cute “Mom Wardobe” (& finding your mama mojo!)
Sometimes as moms we lose our style. We have babies, we gain weight, we lose weight, we have no time to shop for new clothes, much less wash and fold them. I certainly felt this way when I had two kids under 2 years old! But what I wish I’d known then, I know now. Just as our lives change with kids, our wardrobes need to change too! Maybe you used to work and most of your clothing is work clothing. Or maybe you had tons of workout clothing and now the only fitness your doing is racing upstairs to grab a diaper and extra burp cloths. Whatever it may…

Pass on scratchy wool, and invest in some oh so soft cashmere sweaters!
Cashmere is not only soft and luxurious, it’s currently in your price range. I refuse to buy itchy wool because it is exactly that – itchy. Instead, I wait until one specific store marks down all their cashmere to at least 60% off and then I typically buy a new sweater each year. Usually the sale is the day after Christmas, but this year the sales are starting now. YAY!! Even if you think that cashmere is difficult to maintain, think of it like this….It will last – much longer than cheap, synthetic sweaters. It is incredibly warm and soft. It will make you feel like a million dollars! So…

Is your closet missing a key staple? “Faux” sure, if you don’t have a leather jacket!
My latest obsession is my new leather jacket. Well, faux leather, of course, since real leather comes at a premium price and I’m not living the premium lifestyle right now. Are any of us, as moms of little ones? Most of us are just trying to survive and get out the door each morning looking halfway cute (with kids). There are many lists of essential winter coats and most include the following: Tailored wool coat, denim jacket, bomber, blazer, puffer, trench coat, AND a leather jacket!
