Wardrobe Consultation, Fashion Consultant

I have always loved shopping for myself and for others, but favorite person to currently shop for is obviously my daughter. I started buying things for her before she was even born. The small outfits exude adorableness are irresistible not to buy when out in the store. Now that she is a little bigger and able to hold herself up better, the clothes look even more cute.  For this summer I have been buying her airy dresses, 2 piece bathing suits with rash guards (for easy diaper change and protection from the sun), and rompers. Those rompers are just about the best thing out there for little ones. They’re light, have quick access for changing a diaper and are the quintessential baby ‘must have’ for the Summer .

Since becoming a mother, my outlook on clothing and outfits has changed some. I have always dressed more on the casual side, but now tend to dress even more casual. Unless, I’m at a work appointment or a night out with friends or my husband, my outfit choice tends to be t-shirts, jeans, flats or now, sandals.  I think its important to remain looking pulled together, even if the overall look is relaxed. I love all of these easy looks for a memorable 1st Mothers Day. And a major plus is that they’re all versatile; they can be easily washed, the  comfortable materials allow for movement and flexibility with little ones and the flats make it easy to go for an impromptu walk.

This month always has the best weather of the whole year. The sun shines intensely, but the humidity hasn’t started yet, making for warm and pleasant days. We always start on outside projects this month and the garden will be no exception. This year it will definitely be scaled back to probably just tomatoes (as they always do best), herbs and I may try to plant a fruit or two. The weekends are already starting to fill up with casual and relaxed dinners, my favorite type of plans. I’m also very excited to celebrate my first Mother’s Day as being a mom. I would be completely happy doing nothing, but I’m sure something great will come into works.

Hope everyone has a great month!

Easy White Dress and Neutral Accessories

This Spring has not lived up to its potential, weather wise that is. There were more cold and rainy days than I was hoping for, but there have more pleasant days as of lately and I hope this trend continues. During this time, I have been thinking of warmer days which has inevitably led me to start thinking of  summer clothes and how I will dress this Summer. I’ve decided that my Summer wardrobe will mainly consist of easy to throw on dresses, either a t-shirt or maxi one, jean shorts and t-shirts and most definitely a ton of cotton (easy to clean garments are a requirement with a baby.) I love these pictures for inspiration and I’m especially in awe of all the sunshine.

From time to time, I like to share what my current favorites are in fashion and food. These items are what I have been relying on most these past few weeks. And I plan on using them in high rotation for the rest of Spring and probably the rest of the year.

I picked this blazer up on a whim last week at H+M. The color is the idyllic shade of blush and for $34.95 I couldn’t pass it up. It’s a welcomed addition to my blazer collection, as it will go with jeans and a tee, and just as easily with a floral dress.

This Alexis Bittar necklace is one that I have had for quite some time and yet it always makes a reappearance in my jewelry favorites. It’s casual meets somewhat dressy, making it perfect for slightly dressing up a t-shirt or doing the reverse and slightly dressing down an otherwise fancy top.

With all of the cooking websites, blog, apps out there, I still prefer a food magazine. I have a tendency to get overwhelmed when I’m looking for new recipes. Especially when I type ‘chicken’ into the search box and 2,493 recipes show up.  I get bored after reading a couple of recipes and don’t have the patience to click the rest of the sites pages. I often buy Cooking Light for inspirational, healthier meals. I recently purchased a subscription because I find the recipes are trusted, tried and fairly quick.  Knowing that the meals won’t take all night to make (especially with a newborn) and that they flavor won’t be compromised despite that they are low in calories, sells me every time.

My collection of grey sweatshirts has grown once again. At first I was drawn to the shirt because it was heather gray and then I was intrigued by the sheer, chiffon sleeve. It’s the ultimate casual, chic piece. I’ve already paired it with army green khakis and boyfriend jeans and a rhinestone necklace completes the outfit by adding a feminine touch.

These are one my ‘must have’ shoes for this Spring. The d’orsay shape is an upgraded change for the basic black flat. The fact they’re fabric as opposed to leather makes them all the more comfortable and open side silhouette makes them more appropriate for Spring.

Neutral meets neutral, enough said. Honestly, this is the epitome of easy for me. Two of my favorite colors combined into one bag and its adorned on the handle with studs, so consider me smitten. I love that it’s a timeless shape, yet the studs make it the slightest bit edgy. (last seen here) (sold here)
