Jump!

Memorial Day weekend and my birthday always coincide. This year, after much feasting, relaxing and getting in three separate runs (bliss!) I also got to spend the day with H. How did I decide to spend my latest and greatest day? In a jumpsuit, of course! Not one of my picks for under $50 but it totally was under that too! As I said before, I'm always really excited about my birthday. This year after spending two days working on our house, which I sort of love a lot, my parents came to visit and the kids gave me some fantastic presents including that pink purse. We spent the remainder of the time hanging out as a family, enjoying the quiet moments on our porch and just being together. That's what I love most. That's what I'll remember. There are still two more … [Read more...]

Jumpsuits Under $50

I am a sucker for a jumpsuit every time. Wide leg pants are always a weakness for me. Every time I put on a pair or a jumpsuit I feel transported to another time. Like the Golden Age of Hollywood or maybe Studio 54. I love the swish, the practicality and one-step style. I've compiled a list of my favorite jumpsuits all UNDER $50! … [Read more...]

Birthday Wishes

You would think that as an adult I would get tired of my birthday and birthday wishes. But I don't. Nope. No way. Each year I get as excited as a five year-old that my birthday is just around the corner. I think of all the fun things I want to do (brunch! friends! dinner! lunch! a movie!), the people I want to surround me and then inevitably I'm asked what I want and I just clam up. I don't want anyone to actually go through the hassle of planning anything for me or visiting over the holiday weekend. They have plans already and it's a pain to travel. I concocted my own little shopping spree for my birthday. A list of pretty things I love that make me smile and feel like spring. Then, I'll probably shove my face full of food I'll run off later. Champagne, anyone? Have a great … [Read more...]

Feeling the Blues

Not exactly what you would expect from someone feeling the blues, right? Don't worry. I'm not. While I'm often too quick to see the negative (Damn my New England pessimistic roots!) I'm just really feeling the cool tones of this light blue oxford shirt when paired with distressed denim shorts. It makes me feel like summer is fast approaching and that's my favorite time of the year. It brings to mind the best of New England and memories of summers much like this. Watch out! It will be here before we know it! Memorial Day is this weekend! I love these slides with the pointed toe. They add a different, slightly more dressed up version of the slip-on sneaker that you don't see that often. While I'm wearing them with distressed denim shorts they look great with any … [Read more...]

Ford F-150: One truck, a Million Ways to Work

2015 Ford F-150 4x4 Supercab Fully redesigned for 2015 the new Ford F-150 boasts aluminium body panels and some small style changes that creates a rugged look that offers more substance rather than just sleek style. Don't me wrong, the grille and headlights are striking but there is no mistaking this is an F-150 and that is not a bad thing. I was excited to test this truck out. I haven't been behind the wheel of a truck for everyday driving purposes in almost ten years and I missed it. I'll willingly admit I was hesitant about it too. Last time I didn't have three kids in the extended cab behind me to shuttle to school. I burn a lot of gas that way each week but it was nice to have the usefulness of a truck which also contained a 2.7L Ecoboost V-6 engine. I didn't go through nearly … [Read more...]

With a Cherry on Top

Now that spring is here we tend to spend a lot of time outside. In the new place we have replaced sitting on our front stoop with reading on the porch, running around the back yard, more yard work (which I sort of love because it is another excuse to get outside) and exercising outside with bikes, runs and long walks. It's bliss! When it comes to our middle girl, The Comedian, she may have been a fall born baby but she is all spring. From catching caterpillars, to tucking lady bugs into jars and just plain ol' digging in the dirt it is hard to keep her inside or clean. If I can get her off to school without a hole in her pant leg or bugs in her pockets it is an easier morning. But just like me she has her girly moments. She knows a cute dress when she sees one. This sweet … [Read more...]

Let’s Talk Normcore Chic

Ladies, I have a confession to make. I am super camera shy. While I adore a great photo of myself I do not love being in front of the camera. It is my least favorite part about doing my weekly fashion posts. But I'm a firm believer in kicking yourself out of your comfort zone to meet new people, try new things and continuing to grow. Often times I do this in haste and then later realize that by saying yes to that new experience I have made myself very uncomfortable. That was the case when I said yes to chief stylist Rosana from DCStyleFactory earlier this month. She needed models for Let's Talk Live. As in on-camera models. Eesh! I was fine at my fitting for Normcore Chic. Image courtesy of DCStyleFactory But in the days leading up to the actual television event, where I had … [Read more...]
