Trendy Mommy Tuesdays: vol. 10


Inspiration: Blazers

This week isn't inspired by a "who" so much as a "what". Everywhere I look, online or in magazines, all the celebrities (even the moms) are wearing blazers. You can pair a blazer with shorts, pants or even dresses. These days they ar enot only available in the classic black & white, but they come in a lot of fun colors and flattering cuts for women. This is one look I would really like to pull off but I can't, especially now six months pregnant. Seriously, Google images of "Pregnant in a blazer", it's generally not very cute, you'll see.

Black & Yellow:

Tops (L to R): Zara Blazer $130 & PiperLime Blazer $79
Bottoms (L to R): PiperLime Levi's $37 Volcom Shorts $35

Yellow blazers seem to be very popular right now. They are perfect for summer and if you have the guts to wear it, you better rock the *ish* out of it. You can pair it with blue denim jeans or for a bold look, pair it with little black shorts or black skinny's and a bold red lip!

Pink & Coral:

Tops (L to R): Loehmann's Blazer $60, ASOS Blazer $61, & Sparkle & Fade Blazer $79
Bottoms: (L to R):  Michael Kors $53, DKNY $48, Dollhouse $38


Yay for color! I am loving these pink and coral blazers. When paired with bright jeans, the look is amazing.Too cute for words. Remember to keep the makeup light so you don't overload on color.

Classic Black:

      Tops (L to R): RedoPin Blazer $152 (but so cute!), JCStyle $72, & ASOS $70
Bottoms (L to R): CK Shorts $45, ASOS Pants $53, & Express Shorts $30

Yes these jackets are classic black blazers but that doesn't mean they have to be boring. Pair them with some bright shorts or leather looking bottoms and you have something unique and chic to wear. A black blazer can be your best friend as it is the most versatile and can be worn with almost anything.

Do you have any blazers or are you planning on buying one this Summer to stay on trend? Love them or hate them, leave a comment below or on our FB telling us how you feel and post a picture of your favorite blazer if you have one!

Trendy Mommy Tuesdays vol. 8

Inspiration: Katherine Heigl

Pictures thanks to JustJared

I LOVE KATHERIN HEIGL! There, I said it, well, actually I shouted it. I have been a fan of Heigl since her Disney Days in Wish Upon A Star (we won't talk about My Father the Hero). At that time, I was 10 and I thought she was the most gorgeous person I had ever seen. I always wondered why she was never in anything else (that was mainstream anyways) and then lo and behold Grey's Anatomy debuted and there she was, and I have loyally stalked her ever since! I think she is so fun and cute, I just wanna squeeze her Elmyra Duff style!

Anyhow, besides her being a hilarious actress in some of my favorite movies, she is always put together and well dressed everywhere she goes. This past Mothers Day weekend was no exception, and now that she is a mother of two adopted children (Go Heigl!), I get to rant and rave about her her on Trendy Mommy Tuesdays!

Shirt: YesToStyle $25.20
Pants: Levi's from Macy's $42
Shoes: Seychelle's from 6pm $50
Glasses: Charlotte Russe $5.50
Belt: NY&Co. $9.95


Shirt: Olivialicious from BTY $62 (pricey but soo cute!)
Pants: Style&Co. from Macy's $25
Shoes: ALDO from 6pm $40
Glasses: JLo from Kohl's $25
Belt: Kohl's $15.60

Trendy Mommy Tuesdays: vol. 4

Inspiration: Elizabeth Banks

You didn't think this whole Hunger Games craziness would go buy without us even touching on the subject or the cast did you ? I shamefully admit that I have not read the books, nor have I seen the movie. All I know is that one of my favorite actresses is in it, Elizabeth Banks!

Anyhow, you don't often read about her in gossip mags or even see pictures of her out and about in the normal world. This rare picture is one of the most recent in the tabloids of her in a "lazy-chic" look. Here she is sans husband, child, and make-up but still a cutie!


Here is a very inexpensive version of her grey chunky knit cardigan (only $10!) from JCPennys. Remember to pair this sweater with a cute drop waist tunic ($30) from j. jill, and a pair of skinny jeans with room to cuff them of course, like these DC jeans at $21 from 6pm, or these at only $10.50 from forever21.



And of course, what is an outfit without accessories? Here is a cheaper version of her tan cross-body bag from American Rag at the low price of $26 from Macy's. You can find similar sunglasses at Kohl's for $15 and a classic straw fedora from Urban Outfitters at only $24.




As for the lace up boots, I found so many cute ones I just couldn't decide. Torrid has a brown faux leather pair on sale for $9.99, Tilly's has a lace up/zip up light brown pair on sale for $18, and these uber cute fabric pair from 6pm. I want them all!

Spring (Shoe) Fever

OMG shoes.

There are a few things that Spring gets me thinking about: new dresses, Cadbury eggs, The Rite of Spring (seriously, that's my jam), getting outside more, drinking more iced coffee, and this year...shoes. I may have mentioned this before, but I'm not a really a shoe person..or am I? I usually find a pair or two that I like and (unlike clothing) I wear them in rotation until they are beyond weathered and the soles start to fall off. Anyone else do this? For some reason though, this Spring I have been really thinking about new shoe styles that I want to try out during this renewed vernal season. I even had an embarrassing Carrie Bradshaw moment that consisted of stopping and peering into a storefront window on Broadway one day to peep the consumer eye candy. I blame the media! I mean really, who the bloody hell am I? While I can't answer that, I can show you what I have narrowed down to be three essential pairs of shoes for Spring that I want to eventually get my grubby paws on - both high and lower versions (of course!).

Trendy Mommy Tuesdays vol. 2 Mad Men Edition

Inspiration: January Jones (Betty Draper Francis on Mad Men)

In light of this week being "Mad Men Week", I am dedicating this post to January Jones as a mother on and off the show Mad Men. Vanessa will cover in detail her fashion on the show, so I of course will cover her fashion in real life. She recently stepped out with her son Xander in this cute ensemble.


Here is a similar shirt down to the stripes and lace for only $7 and there are a slew of cute lacy striped tops on YesStyle also. Here is another version of a laceback shirt for only $11. If you can't find a shirt you like, make your own! Don't forget to throw on a pair of dark jeans (which are a splurge at $70, but I LOVE Gap jeans) and shnazzy aviator's for $7 to pull this look together!
