Leather Leggings Outfit

For months I have been considering some (faux) leather leggings. Finally, last month I made the plunge and I have really enjoyed wearing them. They elevate any regular black leggings outfit. If you are not a leggings girl, try coated jeans for the same vibe.

This is a fool-proof outfit that looks great on everyone:
long cozy sweater + black legging + black bootie/knee-high boots.

Gray sweater, similar

Lysse leather legging

DV short boots

Cashmere Hat with Fur, similar

Ray-ban aviator sunglasses

Nars nail polish

Just when you thought leather leggings were a one trick pony...They look fantastic with a tee-shirt, chucks, and a jean jacket for weekend wear. 

Disney in June

         

My sister and nieces are heading to Disney next week with another Mom and her daughter. What could be more fun?!? Here are some handy Disney essentials for beating the heat while still looking every bit the cute Mom. Think easy cotton tops and shorts with flats or tennis shoes. Sunglasses are a must and a cross-body bag will keep essentials close without being cumbersome.

In My Beach Bag

What's in Your Beach Bag?
I'm currently packing for the beach and hitting the pool with the kids almost everyday carrying a big bag full of all the essentials. Here are some of my favorite things. I am especially obsessed with the Coola radical recovery after-sun lotion. It smells like heaven and feels so good on a sunburn (it happens to everyone). Order it before you need it! One more thing I forgot to add: baby wipes! They take sand off and clean your hands after applying...you guessed it: more sunblock!

I just started The Fault in Our Stars. I admit it freely, I'm not afraid of some teen reading. It comes highly recommended and is engaging so far. Then I can go see the movie and sit in the dark (without any small people). Whoopee!!

Hello Winter

        

                                                                                                                                                                 




          Here is a laid-back inspiration outfit for the upcoming holiday weekend.  It's now officially winter, and all I can think about are the new bright Spring /Summer clothes from the runways.   But I must bloom where I am planted and embrace the season as it has really just begun. 


       As for achieving this look on the cheap...I imagine many of you have a striped shirt and some sort of brown shoe to pair with jeans.  The emerald green sweater is a fun punch of color; red would be just as pretty.  The outfit would have the same effect with black boots and a black coat.  Experiment and make it yours.  This is the perfect opportunity to shop your closet!
