My husband Michael and I chose to live in New York City because we just love it here. We understand the conveniences of city living – having everything at the tip of our fingers, right outside our doorstep, or at least have someone deliver it to our doorstep. Since my husband and I work in the city, we chose to live here once we had our girls because we didn’t…
Unlike moms everywhere, I actually don’t do my back-to-school shopping before school starts. I do it a few weeks after school has started. The reason? It’s usually warm here in New York City when school starts, so our girls end up wearing their summer clothes which they are perfectly fine with. But once the weather starts to get cooler, that’s when I start kicking the back-to-school shopping into high gear….
Our oldest daughter, O, who is 9-years old has always been all about reading and art with a bit of jazz/hip-hop sprinkled in. This past summer, with the Olympics on, and me training for a 5K run, there was a ton of female sports power going on in our household. At her summer camp, she was excited to join the swim team (inspired by Missy Franklin, no doubt). She then…
Last week was the first ever Fashion Forward conference hosted by Nicole Feliciano of Momtrends, Audrey McClelland of MomGenerations, Vera Sweeney of Lady and the Blog and Brooke Stewart of Power Moms Media. The conference was aimed at moms who don’t want to forego style, just because they are moms.

I love seeing beautifully crafted, pretty, age-appropriate clothes for children. And Oscar de la Renta’s Childrenswear line for Spring and Summer 2013 is all that and more. The silhouettes were clean and classic from shorts to shift dresses to polos and party dresses. The clothes were at the same time wearable, playful and dressy. Perfect for a wedding, birthday party and — for some styles — a non-P.E. day at school….
It was a local, family affair for me at last week’s Fashion’s Night Out. I took O as my date and we supported downtown Mom and handbag designer Joy Gryson at the opening of her new store by Joy Gryson located on Franklin Street in TriBeCa. Joy Gryson has three different lines in her store, all based in amazing leather. Gryson, Olivia Harris, and IIIBeCa. Gryson is her luxury brand of…
To kick off Fashion Week in New York City, I was invited to a searsStyle brunch at Bagatelle in New York City’s Meat Packing District. We celebrated #NYFW, Fall Style and the different fashion collections and brands available at Sears. I loved going through the Kardashian Kollection which had fabulous trend right pieces — mostly under $100 — to help you stand out and look your best in Everyday Glamour. My…

What better way to kick off the back-to-school season than with a Ralph Lauren Girls Fashion Show for Fall 2012? This was the girls’ first fashion show. They didn’t know what to expect but they were very excited. We were all delighted when they were shown to their FRONT ROW seats, along with 25 other mini-fashionistas. They were even more excited to receive the cutest Ralph Lauren suede fringe mini-purse,…
