This weather transition thing is tricky. It can be downright hot in the middle of the afternoon in direct sunlight, and then freezing in the mornings/evenings, or even just in the shade! Layers are key, but because I’m all ready for spring, and the warm, sunny moments tell me it’s spring, I’m ditching drab, blacks
Pinstripes + High-Tops
I’ve been a longtime Converse fan, but it wasn’t until recently that I did a little wikipedia research on the company. It was an interesting read! It was founded in 1908, originally manufacturing sporty shoes for tennis, but I found this to be the most intriguing: “The company’s main turning point came in 1917 when the Converse All-Star
Tips on Choosing Your Perfect, Photo-Ready, Wedding Look
Time change has come and we are ALL hoping this snow is behind us. I know I am… as much as I love the layering of scarves, leggings, and boots, I’m ready to breathe in the sun’s warmth. As we transition into spring, we also transition into wedding season! Today, I want to show you
NYFW Runway Recap (with Superlatives, Duh)
A week or so ago I let everyone peek into my little trek through New York Fashion Week and what I wore to the sub-zero, nor-easterly concrete jungle that is Lincoln Center. This week, we’re trekking down the runway! Here’s my review of my favorite, the most talked about and most intriguing shows as of
Hi Ya, Sunny!
Oh, my Jude. He’s my biggest baby with the biggest heart. I should clarify big: he was born two weeks early, weighing 8.3 lbs (he would have been over a whopping 9 if he went full term!), and he arrived hungry. And is still always hungry. For the first year of his life, he was
New York Fashion Week Fall 2015 Style Guide
Putting together a Style Guide after fashion week, always feels like some sort of massive dissertation to me. Hours of show viewings, meticulous note-taking, and then, finally, organizing, compiling, and the tedious work of downloading/uploading and crediting pretty much takes over my life. Although it’s a massive undertaking, I really do enjoy the process of studying designers’ months-worth
Orange Ya Glad for Winter Colour?
This time of year is such a weather tease! And will be for the next couple of months…. Warm-ish, freezing, rain, snow, sleet, wind, blue skies – sometimes all on the same day. We’ve enjoyed an unusually warm and gorgeous spring spell, but it’s been back to frigid degrees and snow this past week. Then
Beautifying in a Polar Vortex
Most of us east coasters have been braving this super cold blast that’s been hitting in full force, as of late! I’m not used to this blistering cold at all, but life goes on…. right?!? Like running the kids into school, walking to work, or, like we did last week, embracing/braving even more cold and snow on
Pale Blue Sunset
Not gonna lie; this week has been so beautiful and wonderful in many ways, but it has also been brutally long, hard, and emotionally draining. All I have to say is…. T.G.I.F. !!! I hope we’re all able to enjoy a lovely, relaxing, rejuvenating weekend. -Carrie Mama x 4 + SMP Founder Shop My Look (scroll
Oui Oui, Mademoiselle
My little girls just spent this past weekend at a father-daughter campout, and had the time of their lives (!!), but it somehow sparked a deep need in my eldest to have more one-on-one time with me. So. On a particularly blustery day, we dressed our own versions of “French,” bought croissants, and walked around
