I met Melissa a few months ago at The Mother of All Baby Showers and we just clicked right away. She has an awesome blog about raising her 2 boys called The Eyes of a Boy.  We were talking about the fashion problems that moms face on a daily basis. Wearing heels and running after kids is an art that celebrities make seem like the easiest thing in the world. Every time I saw pregnant Kim Kardashian in heels, I cringed. I tried to wear heels twice during my pregnancy and ended up falling both times.  Learn what shoes to wear so that you can keep up with your kids and look stylish doing it in our Mom Fashion Problems Solved video.

Valentine’s Day is the official holiday to celebrate love, but if you are in love, I hope this is not the only day of the year that you celebrate your love. You better be taking time to appreciate each other. I would suggest a date night at least 3 times per month or once per week. Put down the phones and the computers and spend time talking to your loved one. After more than 4 years together, I am still learning new things about my husband! I am writing this post nice and early so that you can have time to think about what you are going to wear on Valentine’s Day.

What to Wear as the Mother of the Bride

What to Wear as the Mother of the Bride

This post is sponsored by Dress First. All opinions and advice is 100% my own.

As the Mother of the Bride it is important that you stand out and look fabulous to honor your daughter. When deciding what to wear as the Mother of the Bride consider the colors your daughter has chosen for her wedding and also your own body type.

What to Wear as the Mother of the Bride

Speak to your daughter about the colors and the length you are considering so that it does not clash with her bridesmaid dresses or what she imagines her day to be. The Mother of the Bride and the Bride should probably go Mother of the Bride dress shopping together or at least have an email correspondence with links to dress options.

Black is not a great idea and you have to watch that you don’t end up with an unwanted color combination. For example, a red bride’s maid dress with a green Mother of the Bride dress in June is far too festive, but might work in December depending on the brides taste and religion.

Choose the best Mother of Bride Dress for your Body Type

V-Neck Mother of the Bride Dresses are universally flattering to all figures, including hourglass, triangle, inverted triangle, and rectangle. Women with hourglass figures look great in surplices and wraps as well. Anything that calls attention to the waist is helpful for this body type.

Infinity Jewelry

Infinity Jewelry / Giveaway / End 1/15/2014

I have been wanting an infinity bracelet since I saw the movie The Vanishing with Jeff Bridges in the 1990s. It is serial killer thriller where Jeff Bridges lures Sandra Bullock into his trap with a cool infinity bracelet. I don’t want the ruin the ending…but I am going to so stop reading if you care. Basically, Sandra Bullock’s character dies because she is so into this infinity bracelet. Infinity has power in the movie and in life. According to Wikipedia, “Infinity is is an abstract concept describing something without any limit.” In life, infinity does not seem that abstract. Infinity is used to define endless love. Onecklace has all this awesome infinity jewelry. They have me an Endless April necklace which I have been wearing a ton. Check out how cute it looks here. They were also nice enough to provide me with a heart and love infinity necklace to giveaway to my readers.

Evolution of Golf Clothes for Women

Evolution of Golf Clothes for Women

Content and compensation were provided for this post. As always, all opinions are my own. 

The history of women’s golf is a long one, starting in the 1500s. However, it did not really become acceptable for women to play golf as a hobby until the 19th century and even then, women did not play professionally until the 20th century. As the attire of men’s golf clothing evolved over the years, so did women’s golf clothes. In the beginning, women wore skirts that were formal. As time went on, women’s golf clothing became more casual, and today, looks very similar to what men wear on the golf course.

Will Camouflage Replace Leopard !?!

Will Camouflage Replace Leopard !?!

Camo has become one of my favorite prints lately. I actually wondering if camouflage print will replace leopard print as the go to neutral print this fall. The print contains some of the same neutral color contained in leopard. Black and tan grounds camo as a neutral print the same way it does for leopard. Camo looks great with black, brown, and a wide variety of other colors, including, but, of course, not limited to yellow, orange, and pink.

Recently, I was lucky enough to sit down with Adam Glassman, Creative Director of O, The Oprah Magazine. Love and want all of Oprah’s favorite things? Adam helps pick them out. I interviewed Mr. Glassman at Lord & Taylor‘s new store in Boca Raton, Florida the day before his personal appearance where he met and took photos with South Floridians as well as presented holiday and gift giving trends and ideas.

Adam is a hardworking Creative Director, working on 3 magazine issues at a time with a tight schedule, but on the surface you would never know it, as he spent over an hour chatting with me. He couldn’t have been more laid back, and was just such a sweet, genuinely nice guy.  Before the interview, I was a casual reader of O Magazine. After meeting Mr. Glassman, I am a subscriber and devoted reader.  Did I mention how stylish he is?  His sweater, tie and button down combo with his monogram camo bag look fabulous together. He makes me want to start styling my husband. Watch out honey, you are now on my to-do list. So without further ado… I give you, Adam Glassman…

How awesome is social media? As a lover of all things fashion, I think it just the coolest thing to be able to connect to my favorite designers and fashionistas on Twitter and Facebook. For example, I recently interviewed Kenneth Cole for South Florida Opulence Magazine and after that we started following each other on Twitter. It brightens my day when I see that my readers like something that I have written by liking it on Facebook, retweeting, and pinning on Pinterest.

BonLook Sunnies

Wearing eye glasses is finally a cool thing to do!  I remember when my parents would buy glasses for me that I would never wear because they did not work with my style. I would wear them in my house at night, but they never saw the light of day. Then, high end designers like Chanel started selling glasses and I spent a fortune on the first pair that I actually wore outside of the house. Now, stylish eye glasses are becoming more accessible with BonLook.
