Fall Cravings - Travel in Style

Fall Cravings - Travel in Style by superchicmom featuring lips makeup


As I get ready to go to the beach one last time with the family, my fall fashion magazines have started arriving. Seeing all the warm and deep colors of fall fashion are  inspiring and lead me to thinking about the good things when the leaves fall - warm cozy sweaters, hot chocolate, and travel. I put this look together for a casual fall day - perhaps getting on a plane to Florida? Or perhaps, for a cool late summer evening.

What are you craving for fall? Have any fall travel plans? Or do you live where the weather stays warm?

As always, thanks for stopping by and for staying so chic!

The weather has been really cold (single digits) in New England, and it has been hard to maintain any sense of chicness if you are going outside. However, I found this picture of Sarah Jessica Parker and thought that not only was her bundled look chic, but actually practical and warm.

If a bulky down coat isn't your thing, try packable down. It's super light weight and still toasty. The packable down coats also tend to be thinner and more form fitting. At a certain point, fashion must suffer, because in these temps, not dressing warmly is dangerous.

Is it cold where you are? What are your thoughts on bulky down coats? Love or wear as a must?

Street Style to Mom Style - Leather

Street Style to Mom Style by superchicmom featuring leopard print flat shoes

When I saw this street style photo I was in awe of this model's simple but chic look and wanted to translate it to something that wouldn't look crazy wearing around town in the suburbs! I love leather pants but they can read a bit too much in real life unless you are at a club. Coated jeans are a great option because they have the leather look but are denim. An even better option is a pair of leggings with leather side panels. You get a touch of leather for the edge, but they are still so comfy and you can bend down to pick up the kids or that toy you almost tripped over for the tenth time. Use your leopard loafers from a few posts ago and you are ready to roll! I love how this model tones down the leather with some cozy cable knit. Zara also has some great cable options here and here.

I think it's key to keep the makeup simple when you are wearing leather and leopard...what do you think?

What are your thoughts on leather pants, coated jeans, and leather paneled leggings? Would you wear them? Are they Mom friendly?

Same Accessories, Two Nautical Looks



I have been inspired by so many of my fave bloggers lately ( see here and here)  wearing some of these items that I wanted to see what I could do to use them in different ways using the same accessories, but different core pieces that I already have. I feel like both these looks easily transition from day to night (at least in a mom's world) due to the bold gold accessories and hint of bling on the sandals and top! A bright coral lipstick gives that pop of color. Recognize some of these items?....I believe in an edited closet, buying items that multi-task just like all you moms do! How do you mix up looks around accessories?

Holy Chic Two Ways

When one of my favorite blogs, The Pink Peonies posted this Holy Chic shirt in a set I fell in love. I love that it has a sense of humor! I am normally not a fan of graphic tees for anyone over the age of 30, but this one literally is chic. Plus, no mom can go wrong with a simple cotton tee you can wash and dry, don't need to iron. What are your thoughts on graphic tees?

Comfy and Cozy Mom Glam

Woke up to a chill in the air today.  After fighting with the kiddo to have him wear a fleece and not just short sleeve shirt and shorts, turned to my own wardrobe selection. Nothing beats a legging for comfort, but they are just not quite warm enough this time of year without a little more substance. But a ponte knit legging solves that problem. They are thicker so you don't feel like you are wearing workout gear, flex when you squat down to pick up that lollipop that fell in the dirt, and still tuck neatly into your riding boots. A red lip and animal print pop the nuetral colors and prvide a little glam. The bag is big enough for all your wipes and snacks and has a shoulder strap so you can function hands free. Maybe it's not so bad it's getting colder...?

Summer to Fall Must Haves

I love when my September issues start arriving with the promise of new trends, and things I must have. Oh - but wait- I am on a budget (at least if my child wants to go to college someday). So that editorial D & G floral dress is just not going to work for me; I might look a little crazy wearing it to the playground. So I reassess, what is in my closet and how can I work it through the year? Do these items look familiar...yes! These are things that I - and you -likely already own and can easily mix and match to meet the crazy fall temps. I am crazy for this Kate Spade tote. I own similar in beige. But could it look any more Chanel at about 1/5th of the cost? And the chambray shirt just keeps getting better every time you wash it after getting some type of child hand print on it. Sad summer is leaving, but can't wait to start layering! What are your thoughts super chic moms?

Summer to Fall With Color

Fall usually calls to mind earth tones and wooly layers - but wait - summer isn't over yet! I am so loving bright colors to make the transition from summer to fall. Plus with the bright colors, your kids will definitely be able to locate their mommy ASAP when they are running around at the playground. Plus, these pieces are all so versatile and will mix and match. So bring on the bright color cords!
