Spring is here! Spring is here! Yay! Yay! YAY! I had so much fun getting dressed this week. Day 1 This was the last frigid-cold day we had. Literally, with the wind chill, it was 10 degrees. AND I RAN IN IT. Three-point-six miles. GO ME! Any-WHO. Then I got dressed and took my daughter to… Continue Reading →
Pantone announced back in December that the color of the year for 2013 would be emerald, and sure enough, emerald is everywhere now. I was a bit ahead of the trend cuz I’m just that cool. Okay, so I am not cool, nor am I a predictor of trends. It was purely coincidental that I… Continue Reading →
April is here! I am so happy, happy, happy! Yes, it’s chilly right now but we had a few mild days, and the extended forecast looks promising. There is hope! Spring MIGHT be around the corner. If it’s not spring-like outside just yet, you better believe it’s spring-like for Daily Mom Style. I’m doing my… Continue Reading →
THE WINNER HAS BEEN DRAWN AND EMAILED. THANKS FOR ENTERING! As with most things parenting-related, clothes shopping for kids is an evolution. When my babies were little and had no ability to object, they wore anything I put on them. I was in my element. I would spend hours at the mall, perusing the kids’ stores,… Continue Reading →
Everyone is commenting on my colorful flats in my Daily Mom Style post this week! Which inspired this post. I love wearing colorful flats in the spring and summer. They’re such an easy way to brighten up an outfit, and they don’t have to break the bank. I have finicky feet and often have to… Continue Reading →
It’s slim pickin’s around here this week for Daily Mom Style. I spent a few days in yoga pants (I know, but the weather . . . ) and then I didn’t have a full length mirror in my room at Mountaintop Lodge last weekend. I did think to be a diva and ask my friend… Continue Reading →
Word on the street is that one-piece swimsuits are on trend this year. It’s been YEARS since I’ve owned a one-piece. I love the convenience of the tankini, and for a while the one-piece suits have seemed rather dated. I’m not sure how I feel about their resurgence. Of course, I know that I don’t… Continue Reading →
My ancestors hail from Scotland, England and possibly Germany so I’m pretty much a pasty northern European mutt. I was “blessed” with pale skin that tans easily but fades fast. I also am rather self conscious about the amount of spots and freckles I tend to accumulate so needless to say, I feel much better about… Continue Reading →
Last Wednesday, I spent the day in Philly taking pictures for the Sony Unedited project. It was quite chilly so I wore my long gunmetal gray puffy coat. Underneath, I chose emerald green skinny jeans with a black dolman sweater. I jazzed it up with a green scarf, and I wore my cognac boots with oatmeal-colored boot… Continue Reading →
I am shamelessly borrowing this idea from InStyle magazine — one of my guilty pleasures! I just got my April copy in the mail and I thought this was fun. I hope you’ll join me! Leave your answers in the comments, or write your own post and link up! Closet Confessions Poll Can your shoes… Continue Reading →
I’m glad you're here! I'm a writer, talker, coffee addict and collector of people and handbags. I live outside of Philly with my husband, 3 children, and a terribly spoiled shih tzu named Savannah. Read More →
