Time to Buy Fur

I have been wanting both a faux fur vest and riding boots all winter, but couldn't bite the bullet without going over budget. Post holiday sale time may work in my favor. This is definitely the time of year to buy these items, most are half off! They aren't trendy and won't go out of style. A faux fur vest is timeless, suitable for any age, and can actually work into many outfits. Check out one of my new fave fashion blogger wearing it here.  I have always thought of myself as too preppy for this look, but with these prices I am going to shake it up a bit. Riding boots are also a classic, and are totally functional for walking in the city or suburbs pushing a stroller or chasing after little ones. Just don't forget a pop of color on the lip, and you won't even need makeup! Remember the stretch pants so you can squat down to play with your little one, or pick that toy up off the sidewalk they threw for the 100th time! The J crew Pixie Pants are some of my favorites because I don't feel naked wearing them, yet they are as cozy as leggings. What are you buying on sale now?

Chic Top Knot Made Mom Fast

This post is for those who hate having their hair in their face and just don't have enough of it, or enough time, to make a thick top knot without a little help. A bun maker is the solution - it's an implant for your hair. If you can make a pony tail and pin three bobbies in - you will have a super chic top knot that looks like you had a trip to the salon. A top knot even makes a chunky sweater and boyfriend jeans Parisian and mom chic!

Happy New Year! Sorry for the delay in posts for those of you actually checking my blog (thank you for that - by the way). I had a hard time blogging after the recent tragedy in Sandy Hook in my home state of CT. It just felt, well, superficial to post about clothes and shoes at a time when I was feeling so grateful for the things that really matter in life, like family and friends -especially after watching others go through such unimaginable loss. So, my resolution is to be more grateful every day for the loved ones in my life, take more time to tell them, and relish in their hugs. I wish everyone a healthy happy new year! What is your resolution?
