Play by Sarah Reilly

Posted on03. Sep, 2010 by Kate.

Earlier I wrote a post about Play by Sarah Reilly – a yoga-inspired clothing line. Well, she was so sweet to send me the Obi One dress in Jet to see if I would like it and I LOVE IT! It’s probably the most comfortable thing I own. Really. It’s got a cowl neck that [...]

Bare Minerals Review

Posted on30. Aug, 2010 by Kate.

Written by guest blogger and fellow mom, Adele (who just happens to be my sis, too!) Prior to becoming a mother, I was a low maintenance kind of gal. I wore makeup – at 35, I pretty much had to – but I prided myself on my 5-minute daily makeup routine. A little tinted moisturizer, [...]

Nicole Brundage “Bandage” Shoes

Posted on19. Aug, 2010 by Kate.

When I heard about Nicole Brundage’s new line of shoes made of bandages, I thought to myself “right, how utilitarian.” Comfy, yes, but cute – couldn’t be. Boy was I wrong. These new shoes, called Acrobats of God, look totally hip – I’d wear almost every style. Think of is this way: if a Jimmy [...]

Booty Pop Panties

Posted on11. Aug, 2010 by Kate.

I’m certain I’m not the target market for these new panties called Booty Pop, but I’m intrigued. Seeing as how I’m challenged in the booty area, I usually look for jeans and pants that have flaps or other flat-booty distractions. So undies with padding in the derrier? I gotta try these! Booty Pop Panties are [...]

Mini Skirts OK For Over 35

Posted on05. Aug, 2010 by Kate.

WHAT? You mean I can still bare my legs even though I’m nearly ancient? OK, I might not actually be ancient, in fact I bet 35 is the new 25, but still, I’ve been wondering how short my skirt can go now that I’m closing in on 40. Apparently I can go short – like [...]

Chanel Surf Board

Posted on03. Aug, 2010 by Kate.

When I came across this little nugget, I was thinking what I could say about a surf board made by Chanel. Yes, THAT Chanel. Ooh, so much came to mind, only nothing quite fit. Nothing quite captured my feelings correctly. Then it hit me: More money than sense. Nuff said.

The Braid Is Back

Posted on29. Jul, 2010 by Kate.

Have you been noticing braids? I’ve been seeing them everywhere. I remember in the 80s we’d braid our hair in history class (sorry Mr. Is). In fact, I learned how to French Braid because the girl in front of me used to braid her own hair every day. EVERY DAY. FOR YEARS. Wouldn’t you know [...]

Summer Fashion Tip: Whiteout

Posted on20. Jul, 2010 by Kate.

White white white. I’m seeing it everywhere. Especially white jeans. I would love to have a pair of white jeans but to be honest, I’m scared. Yes, scared. Like 2 messy kids, scared. Messy hands, messy noses, messy mouths. Scared! If I had white jeans, I’d never be able to keep them white. But, maybe [...]

Posted on16. Jul, 2010 by Kate.

I’m a Project Runway nut (so is my husband, but don’t tell anyone!) so when I saw Didn’t I Feed You Yesterday? by Laura Bennett, the fashion mommy of the show a few seasons ago, I got all excited. Now, I must tell you that I haven’t read the book yet but it looks pretty [...]

Girl Power! Great Websites For Women

Posted on12. Jul, 2010 by Kate.

Stumbling around the internet looking for some content to chew on, I was happy to find that Forbes just released the top 100 sites for women. It re-opened my eyes to a few sites that I already knew and loved but have gone largely ignored (like Dooce.com, Mommytracked and Popsugar) but many many more (obviously [...]

Things I Want to Tell My Pre-child Self

Posted on07. Jul, 2010 by Kate.

There is no magic way to go back in time, but if there was I’d jump on that time bending machine to whisper a few words of wisdom in my childless ears. For all you singletons out there contemplating jumping aboard the kiddy express, here are a few things to think about now, before that [...]
