Getting Glam when it is cold out can be very tricky especially living in New York City. In this freezing weather, you have to take into account if you’ll be walking, taking the subway, and/or a cab — or all of the above. Last Friday, we went to a classical music concert at Princeton University’s Richardson Hall. Luckily, we rented a car to get there, but we still had to…
Last Wednesday was a whirlwind. I had to go to a meeting, to an event with Vanessa Lachey, Robert Verdi and then to a Social Media Week conference. So, I had to look sharp, yet comfortable because I had to commute and go cross-town via the subway. I chose a “look” that I choose to call “Professional Comfortable”, but brought in new pieces to signal a bit of change. I am…
Who doesn’t love a good sale? Like many of you, when I find a good sale, I like to stock up. Lucky for us, Old Navy has its Kids and Baby Sale that has all of its kids and baby apparel up to 40% off. That’s right, ALL of its kids and baby apparel, including accessories and shoes. With Spring right around the corner (the groundhog said so, right?) it’s…
I know that the fashion industry is in full-on Spring mode, but the reality is that it’s been under 26 degrees in New York City for the past week. And we are all over it. Right? Aren’t you? There’s only so much you can do to look cute and chic while temperatures are plummeting. When I’m dropping the girls off at school, and going to work, or going out for…
This weekend, I celebrated my 40th Birthday with an intimate dinner with 18 of my closest friends, most of whom I’ve had the pleasure of twenty to thirty-five years worth of friendship. I was struggling with what to wear. I wanted to dress up, but be comfortable. I also didn’t want to spend a ton of money simply because it was my 40th. I came up with the perfect outfit:…
We are big Lands End fans — especially for their kids outerwear and boots. Every year, it’s like clock-work at our apartment: every winter, around September or October, I buy the girls’ winter jackets, snow pants, fleece sweaters and boots. In the Spring, it’s time to buy their rain coats and rain boots. This has happened for 9 years now, since O was a baby. Luckily, Lands End quality is so…
Make-up + Beauty Regimen = Whaa??? If you have known me for a while, you’ll know that putting on make-up had not been a high priority on my list of things to do in the morning. Perhaps I’ll put some on if I’m going on a date night or out for a Girls Night Out. BUT….ever since I’ve started blogging, I go to events where looking good and feeling good…
Last Tuesday, the French Connection SoHo store had a fundraiser for our girls’ school’s PTA (a dad at the school is a French Connection exec i). There was a fashion show highlighting the fall/winter collection modeled by a handful of moms, dads and teachers, along with live music, a DJ and yummy food. There was a special promotion for the moms and dads who attended the event — 30% off…
Finding a good, protective laptop bag that is fashionable and carries more than a laptop is pretty tough. Most of the time, I would have to carry my laptop in a separate bag PLUS my purse, so I’d be carrying two things. Not exactly the picture of efficiency. So, when I had the chance to take the knomo Aurora Laptop Bag to Philadelphia with me, I jumped at the chance….
It’s sweater time! Falling leaves and crisp, cool weather is a signal to start stocking up on great versatile sweaters, that don’t cost an arm and a leg. As you know, I am a big fan of Chaps on Kohls.com. Chaps provides amazing style, with great value. For our family trip to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, I was able to choose two sweaters and one top from the Chaps Holiday sweater collection….
