It's that boot time of year, Mamas. As I write this, it's pouring down rain. Definitely a hot chocolate morning. And since I have the flu, instead of a rainy-day walk, we'll probably watch movies all day. The boys will be thrilled. Mike, who has been gone ALL WEEK will finally be home soon. This week has been a long one.
Here are a few things that caught my eye:
Refinery 29 did a roundup of sophisticated fleece pieces. Fleece = sweatshirt. What's not to like?
Jane of Sea of Shoes threw up a few dressing room snaps from a recent shopping trip. Notable? She's trying on everything with a pair of fab red sneaks. I just pinned her LBD and red sneakers. My next outfit to copy.
Did you guys see Kilee's recommendation to layer a long knit vest under a denim jacket? Yeah - Olivia Wilde must have, too. (grin)
Still trying to find your perfect Fall momiform? Blake Lively wore a fabulous option with moto boots. Happily, the Budget Babe posted a budget-friendly recreation of her outfit. Also, I think this Vanessa Jackman pic would make a fab momiform (with tall, black riding boots!).
Curly-haired Mamas!! Check out the latest post from Philly style blogger Chaucee (who has gorgeously curly hair). Her fav styles are all super simple but adorbs, and would be perfect for busy Mamas!
We're having a discussion on Facebook about kid shoes or boots that don't get stinky. UGH. This has been a problem for us, lately. I'm ready to toss all of R's shoes. Any advice or shoe picks?
Lastly, good news for fans of 77Kids! This baby and kid's brand, which used to be part of American Eagle, was going out of business, however...two weeks before the official closing, they were bought out! The turnover will happen sometime next year, no word yet on who bought them. However...my secret source says that 77Kids will get all-new designers, but will keep the same casual-cool vibe, meaning, hopefully, no puppy shirts (I'm looking at you, Gymboree). I'll keep you posted when I learn more.
xo,
