Inspired By Olivia

Well, as far as I know Olivia Palermo is not a mom yet. But, how could I not be inspired by this super chic, easy, yet mom friendly attire so perfect for running around during the last days of summer. I tried to recreate with mom budget friendly items. That being said, it is really tough to find a tweed bag under $100. This cute colorful carryall from anthro does the trick though for a splash of color. I know a lot of moms have back to school shopping to do this week, and what more of a perfect look to keep you warm in the AC of the big box stores and cool when you are back in the car. Are you all ready for back to school or wishing for more summer? (Image of Olivia and stills from Polyvore)

Fall Sneak Peek: Cap Toe Shoes

I have always been a fan of Coco Chanel who practically invented the cap toe pump. So I am so excited to see these popping up on celebs and in the mags. I I love the new twist of the metallic toe cap, but nothing can beat a classic black/white or beige/black combination. I thought these only existed at a higher price point but found these options all under $125. The cap toe shoe really is a super chic wardrobe staple for moms and all.

Summer To Fall Silk

I know what you are thinking....silk...for a mom? I know  it does take a little more care, and you might not want to wear this if you know there is a good chance you are going to get spit up on, but the silhouette of this blouse is utterly casual and it can transition super well into fall if you add a grey cardigan or blazer. Still hot out? Trade the jean for denim shorts. This top can be so easily dressed up with the necklace, but you could even try it with sweatpants and these flats. I know the bag is a little pricey, but it is just so sick I couldn't resist. A Mom does need to splurge now and then. I am obsessed with turquoise and a pop of bright pink or coral.on the lips. For fall, change the coral out for the red matte lip that I am reading is going to be the it lip for fall.

Yosi Samra Obsessed

Looking for a so comfy yet chic shoe? These shoes caught my eye after I saw Charlize Theron in them in a Who What Wear Post...( see here ). They are totally affordable, totally comfortable, and totally chic. Plus they fold into a TINY bag, and come out looking like a way more expensive flat...think Lanvin.  Another plus - the rubber soles are shock absorbent so you have traction when that little one takes off on you! Sidebar-  Who What Wear is a great website for fashion inspiration and they always present both splurge and affordable options. Look under inspiration for the link.
