Have you seen how cute, and little bags are getting now? They are all about being micro’d and structured these days. So, bags are getting smaller…. phones are getting bigger. Makes no sense, but fashion bear don’t care! I already have a few micros I wear on pretty heavy rotation, but just added a new, black
A Little Undone
I follow J.Crew’s style motto of “leave something just a little bit undone” to the letter, most days – mostly by accident (I’m a mom of 4 young things! Something is always undone!). Like an un-ironed, travel-rumpled shirt? Nailed it. Honestly though, I love my clothes to feel, and be, lived in – makes me
Catch of the Day
Oooh, it feels like spring, and Mama has brand new stripes + flares. Life is good. We took our little ducklings to a small harbor with a park recently, and it was so nice to be outside in the mild, sunny weather, just watching boats, and running around on the grass. When life is simple,
Playing on the Varsity Team
So. The Varsity Jacket. Also synonymous with baseball and lettermans, but not to be confused with bombers, which is really confusing when your jacket is labeled “Dugout Varsity Bomber.” Sigh. Come on fashion world – that’s just annoying. So annoying, that I took it upon myself to research the origins of both the Varsity jacket
A Full, Striped, Happy Heart
It’s almost the weekend before Christmas!!! How did that happen?! I’m so excited!! My little sister is coming into town soon, and my kiddos are literally bouncing these last days away in anticipation (coulddd be the sugar cookies, too), and their eyes have the cutest, sweetest, extra-twinkle in them – it truly is the most wonderful
Hello, Gorgeous Fall!
Gooood morning! I hope you’re enjoying a spectacular fall! It is crazy beautiful here. With foliage like this, all you need is a cozy cardi, and some hot cocoa in hand. I mean, right?! And maybe your guy’s fab, plaid tie for some sass. Wearing: Shirt: Banana Republic. Cardi: Banana Republic (in grey). Tie: Jack Spade.
Sassy-Casz
Whew! We’ve been busier than ever here at SMP, and the enormous, juicy-sweet cherry on top is that we’re attending Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week next week!! We just received our press credentials this week, and could not possibly be more thrilled!! Look out New York!! Deep breath. In everyday news, here is my casual, office/meeting look this
Desk-to-Dinner: Stripes + Floral
Aaaand we’re back to the good ol’ standby pencil skirt! Boy, does that girl have your back (literally). The one I’m wearing is stretchy, and the playful print keeps it fresh and fun in-and-out of the office. I kept my office look on the casual side (cuz that’s how I usually roll), and paired it
Spotted: Sweats + a Striped Tee
I love mixing prints and playing with color every now and then (can you tell?)! You know what I also love? This yellow sweatshirt skirt from H&M. It’s one of those pieces that can brighten any mood, and doesn’t even wrinkle when your two-year-old wads it up, and stuffs it in his Lightning McQueen backpack.
Dude Jeans
Funny story. So, while quickly shooting this look the other day, some guys asked if I was shooting my high school graduation pictures?! They were quite far away, and I’m fairly certain they didn’t see or hear our four kiddos squealing about something at our feet…. but hey, I’ll take shocking flattery from guys with
