Whatcha Wearing Wednesday- #morein2014

Welcome to another week of Whatcha Wearing Wednesday! I'm so glad you could join us!! The snow is swirling around in a fast, white mess right now and in just a few hours it will be a winter wonderland. It's January. It's fine. Check back with me in a few days when I'm sick of looking at the ice-capped, slush-fest aftermath. I'm sure it will be a different story. This week it is all about more! More in 2014 (#morein2014)! I'm working on a little project about what I want to do, see and find more of in 2014. Inspired by the Mom 2.0 Summit folks and their instagram #morein2014 project, I've been taking daily shots of what I'm wearing.  I want to turn this into my chance to showcase the fashion scene at Mom 2.0 in Atlanta this May. If you haven't heard of the Mom 2.0 Summit (don't let … [Read more...]

Whatcha Wearing Wednesday- Winter Blues

Baby, it's cold outside! When the temperatures drop like this (read no school because it is that cold!) and snow days pile up I tend to hunker down, ignore everything in my closet and pull on wool sweaters my grandfather once wore and break out the equally toasty wool socks. Boots are de rigeuer. Needless to say the fashion shots have been slim to none. … [Read more...]

Whatcha Wearing Wednesday-Pinterest for Packing

Reposted from my column at The DC Moms.   Pinterest is the time suck, er, lovely place where you can spend time pinning your heart out with beautiful things to cook, bake, and decorate -- all in your head. In my experience, most of it never moves beyond the board. The gorgeous buffet you want to repurpose and paint in a stunning metallic grey stays on the board and not in your dining room. And when reality meets Pinterest dreamland the adorable cupcakes for the tiny tot's birthday bash never make an appearance when Wegman's has options too. However many funny, inspirational quotes, healthy meals or educational activities I pin next to this fall's hottest boot style, most of my pins just never see fruition. I may however, found a way to make Pinterest useful. Really, and … [Read more...]

Whatcha Wearing Wednesday – Hints of Caramel

Caramel cake infused with caramel syrup, topped with caramel buttercream frosting.  I've been dreaming of this cake and waiting for the right time to make it.  I've been given the task of making dessert the night before Thanksgiving when a lot of the family is already together.  Meaning it is finally caramel cake time! I can only say it must be the inspiration for this week's Whatcha Wearing Wednesday look too. … [Read more...]

Whatcha Wearing Wednesday – Style Link-Up with Tres Chic Thursdays!

Let's just start out by saying that this oufit you are seeing was not what I planned. Then again, I don't plan on having 70 degree days in mid-November! I was zipping up my high brown riding boots when I just thought, "Ugh. I just can't do it. It's too much. I will incinerate." Off it all came and in the hustle and bustle that is getting the kids off to school I grabbed the bright red pants that were sticking out of the closet. I ripped the striped shirt off the hanger and thought, "Why not! Let's go full-on prep!" Out came the buckle ballet flats and on went the silver beaded necklace, which I had forgotten about and haven't worn in years. I think I'm in love with it all over again.  It has a certain Mad Men/Masters of Sex feel to it. A smooth low pony and swipe of red gloss completed the … [Read more...]

Whatcha Wearing Wednesday Jewel Tones

This week it is all about following the leader. The leader in jewel tones, that is.  No one is showing that off better than the Trend Spin link up at Walking in Memphis in High Heels.  I love, love, love this blog!  I found it through The Pleated Poppy WIWW and I've been hooked on it ever since. It was perfect timing too because I was standing in my closet with limited time wondering what to wear for a day that had me going to a parent-teacher conference and then having friends over.  What would be versatile, stylish and easy?  … [Read more...]

Whatcha Wearing Wednesday- Boo at the Zoo with Ugg

Disclosure: TMC was given shoes courtesy of Ugg Australia as well as tickets to Boo at the Zoo as part of review. No compensation was received. Opinions are TMC's only. Why do I love what I do? For moments like the one my family and I enjoyed this past Saturday night when we got the chance to go to the sold-out Boo at the Zoo at the National Zoo in Washington, DC. While I have always wanted to take the girls I wasn't into the whole toting wee ones around in the dark past bedtime, but they are older now. When Ugg Australia contacted me last week asking if the whole family wanted to pick out some new shoes and trek around tricking and treating at the zoo, I did not hesitate. … [Read more...]
