Tom's, Im A Fan!!!!!!

Blake and his Toms

Dear Tom aka Blake Mycoskie(founder),
I must admit, I truly was not a fan, initially of your ever so popular, karate shoe inspired, charitable contribution of a shoe, better known as the Tom-Classic Flat! I would often spy them on hippie, granola types and think to self-those are some saaad looking shoes, until I was in Nordstrom one day and decided, hmmm...let me see what these shoes are really talking about! Well, that was last summer and boy did I have a change of heart once I stepped foot into these little dandies!! Talk about comfy-chic!!! Comfort, being the most important thing on my list these days, I just couldnt resist the Tom, especially  this sparkly little number! More and more I started to see them on the trendiest of hipsters and thought hey, Im totally on the late bus and now that I've hopped on, there's no turning back!!! I now own two pair, red and gold, and am eyeing the black glitters, which will be perfect for my trip home from vacay and baby #2 delivery(yes, Im already planning my outfit home). I just scored this camoflaged pair for my little tyke, who, like his momma, already loves him some shoes! The husband is not so convinced, but I he did tell me he went looking on the website, "just browsing", he said, but they didnt have his size(note to Blake, you may want to consider going up to a size 16 for men-there are lots of tall fellas out there, who love a little fashion and comfort). All in all, I have been very pleased with my Toms( clearly Im a fan here, here, and here) and I must say the lesson learned...Never say Never, because one never knows what will end up on your feet!!!

The Miracle Pant!!!!!!!!!



The iPant by Wacoal
Recently, I received not one, but TWO emails introducing me to the new iPant!??!? My first thought was, Wow, Apple has their hand in just about everything technical and now they have ventured into clothing??? Well, upon further reading I discovered it was not a new accessory for your iPad, but a new, slimming under garment by Wacoal!!!!! Since coming to the realization that not all of us can wear sexy, slinky bras from Victoria's Secret(which, by the way, aren't that great in quality at least for anyone over a C-cup) I had to make some big girl decisions about my foundation garments--along came Wacoal! Wacoal bras are pretty fantastic-being both supportive and even frilly, at times! Now, they have taken it one step further with, the iPant! This miracle of a slimming, shapewear pant has everything but, an automatic pilot button in the seat! The pant claims to not only be an amazing shaper, but it also contains microcapsules containing caffeine, which promotes fat destruction(we all need that), embedded in the microfibers!!! That's science and technology for you! In addition, the pant includes vitamin E, retinol, and aloe vera, which all are great to prevent the effects of aging(even the thighs age-Sheesh)...Bye, bye Spanx??? The jury is still out as I have not yet visited my local Neiman Marcus lingerie expert, Cynthia, to test out this miraculous, concoction!!! Sounds too good to be true, but definitely worth checking out, especially with Spring on its way and holiday feasting resting on those hips and thighs!!! For $60 bucks, it might be worth the investment!!!! I'll keep you posted!!! Until then...

The Long and Short Short Of It All!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!










Mini Dresses!!! As a follow up to the "short-shorts" edition, may I introduce the Mini!!! Again, great legs are not a requirement, but attitude and style are a must!! You've got the attitude, here comes the style!!! I'm loving the selection of mini-dresses featured here! The mini dress is the perfect look for a warm spring/summer day! And by far the easiest look to pull together: all you need is the right dress and a pair of ballet flats, glads(gladiator sandals) or go sky high with a fun wedge! For a night time look, pair this mini dress with a sheer hose and black pumps and your set for dinner and dancing!! This look works for all shapes and sizes!!! Forgiving and flattering, all in one!!








Out with the Long in with the Short...Mini that is!!!

Spotlight on Patterson J. Kincaid!!!!!!!!!!












At this point in my life, I'm all about easy dressing, without sacrificing style! Along comes Patterson J. Kincaid to make simple basics come to life at a price point any fashionista (on a budget) would love!!! Here's the skinny on the designer:






Featuring updates on beloved basics, Patterson J. Kincaid adds unexpected twists to classic shapes, seamlessly blending simplicity and novelty. From a zipper across a basic jersey tank to unique pocket seaming, quirky buttons, and signature black and white bakery string detailing, Patterson J. Kincaid makes wearing basics more exciting. For a flawless transition from morning to night, pair your favorite pieces with jeans for day and then use them as a blank canvas for after-dark accessorizing.












I couldn't have said it better myself!!! Easy, free flowing basics that include cute tees to bohemian frocks! With a price range from $50-$120, you can't go wrong! And you can find all the styles seen here at the following: Neiman Marcus(Just introduced the line in stores and free shipping online for a limited time), Nordstrom(featured in their fall collection catalog), and of course Shopbop(free shipping and no tax and they have a host of items on sale as we speak). So get it in gear ladies!!! This designer is sure to be around for a while, but I have a feeling these perfect tees won't have a long life span!!!! I'll try to save some for you!!!

Sweater Envy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!









Preppy, purposeful, popular...All words that come to mind when I think of the perfect fall wardrobe staple...The Cardigan Sweater!!! I was totally inspired after checking out looks "We're Loving" in the August issue of InStyle! Beyonce is totally rocking an all white look, paired with a gray and black Missoni cardigan(pg. 67)! The boyfriend look continues for fall with preppy, long, lengthy, Cardigans! This men's wear inspired trend is a perfect accent to a summer sleeveless dress or blouse, as the weather begins to take a shift(although, we have had a pretty mild summer, hard to imagine fall coming so soon). Pair your perfect cardigan with a blazer(continues to be big for fall 09) for a layered look or punch up a blousey, tee for another look! Go for a solid look or striped; belted or buttoned. So many options to be had with one of my favorite fall additions!
Looks that I'm loving can be found at my favs, Anthro, Shopbop, and the First Lady's fav, JCrew. For more economically friendly finds for the cardigan sweater, try American Apparel and Forever21! Oh and don't forget Nordstrom, where you might still find a few looks on sale as a part of the anniversary sale(fall preview). No need to be envious, the options are unlimited!!! Fall is on its way!!! Be ready!

Tailor Made!!!!!!!!!


Kudos to Neiman Marcus at Friendship Heights, Washington DC!!!! May I highlight Ms. Cynthia Hanson, lingerie specialist, extraordinaire! This weekend, I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Hanson on finding a support garment, oh, let me just cut to the chase...A bra!!! And for me, in my current state, which is as a nursing mom, with some major tatas; this was a major affair! Well, Ms. Hanson is the best at what she does! Not only was she able to just look at me and bring bras that were within my size range, but they were PRETTY and supportive! Sometimes, for us with larger bosom, it's hard to get both!!! But, Ms. Hanson knows her stuff and she even keeps notes on her customers, so she knows exactly what bra's work best for this rack! I was and always am, thoroughly impressed with her outstanding customer service and excellent product knowledge!!!! In addition, I was also able to have my new garment customized to become a nursing bra, on the SPOT, for an additional, small, fee! Totally worth it!!!!! It just goes to show, that even in our questionable economy, the customer is still number 1!!!!!!!!!! And service, still comes with a smile!!!! Love it!!!!
If you are in the DC metro area, pay Ms. Hanson a visit or just shoot her an email to schedule an appointment at cynthia_hanson@neimanmarcus.com

Pump It, Hottie!!!!!!!


































First it was the quest for the perfect LBD. Now its all about the perfect pair of black pumps! Black pumps are a staple for any fashionable or not-so-fashionable, but aspiring to be, woman on the go!!!! Black pumps can seal the deal on any outfit, from jeans to a classic suit! Go traditional with a 3 inch heel or take it up a notch and go for a 4 inch stiletto! They make the skinniest of legs look absolutely hot!!!! So, turn up your hottie status and do it in a Pump!!!!!




















Styles seen here can be found at NineWest.com, Nordstrom, Shopbop, and Neiman Marcus. Just search for pumps!

Made in the Shade!!!!!!!!!!!!








Ok, ladies, its time to get glam for those sunny spring and summer days! Shades, sunglasses, whatever you want to call them, are the one accessory every girl needs! Some may choose to splurge on a glamorous pair that they will keep forever or for those of us who lose or break a pair every season, opt for an inexpensive, yet stylish pair. But what look are you going for???? Ultra fashion diva...Think Jackie O, Nicole Richie, over sized and black. Or are you going for the retro, mod, look...Think Ray-Ban's classic Wayfarer made ever so popular by Tom Cruise circa 1980 in "Risky Business." Whatever look you are going for, I have found some styles that are sure to please or at least get you started! I love the selection of shades at Nordstrom and Neiman's (cost range $98-$600), but for a more moderate price point try Anthropologie or Urban Outfitters(cost range $14-$68) with styles galore found at both. And there's always good '0l Ebay.com if you just have to have a pair of designer shades. Also try Nordstrom Rack and TJ Maxx for great, discounted, designer frames! No matter which way you got, you will definitely have it made in your Shades!!!!!!!!

Classic Wayfarer by Ray-Ban (my fav @ the moment) $140
