Are You Giving Your Kids the Kiss of Death?

I am more J.Crew than JLo or JWoww. I prefer khakis to skinny jeans and respectable cardigans to revealing camisoles. And that goes double for cosmetics. If it were not for the fact that I have skin like a Shar-Pei and a daughter that I am forced not to embarrass in public, I would probably go without make-up every. single. day. While I am far from a Japanese Kabuki actor, I do apply some foundation, mascara and eyeliner on days I am required to venture beyond my driveway. If I forget to add one or more of the aforementioned cosmetics … Continue reading →

Pregnant Or Just Into Maternity Fashion?

Posted on by

Earlier this week, Mariah Carey was spotted wearing a maternity dress from A Pea In the Pod. Add to that all the rumors surrounding her fuller figure, and you’ll understand just why everyone is convinced she is pregnant. All other rumors and reasons aside, how much can one really deduce from a wardrobe choice? It begs the question: would you wear a maternity dress even if you were not pregnant? There are two reasons I think you can assume a women is pregnant if she is wearing maternity clothes. The first reason has to do with fit. My take is … Continue reading →

Do You Have a Mommy Uniform?

What do you wear to drop off your kids at school in the morning? Is it the same outfit you wear to the supermarket, the pet store or the gas station? I tend to dress in the same outfit to do all of the aforementioned tasks—-jeans or khakis with a plain button-down shirt or sweater. My wardrobe is simple, easy to clean, and yes, rather boring. However, at least it won’t get me banned from stores. In England, a couple of grocery stores are cracking down on moms who shop in slumpy, dumpy outfits that resemble nightwear. You know exactly … Continue reading →

Sustainable Fashion Designer Stella McCartney

Have you heard of sustainable fashion? Many designers today are using an eco-friendly fashion philosophy – to support environmentalism and social responsibility through their designs. These designers use environmentally friendly materials, make sure that the production of the garments are socially responsible, and also some designers see to it that a portion of the sales go to charity. One such sustainable fashion designer is Stella McCartney, daughter of former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney. Stella first began designing outfits at the young age of 12. In only three years, she found herself interning with Christian Lacroix. She studied at the Ravensbourne … Continue reading →

Hollywood’s New IT Career–Fashion Design

First it was Madonna, then Justin Timberlake , Sienna Miller and Sarah Jessica Parker jumped on the bandwagon. Next, Luke Wilson and Matthew McConaughey wanted in on the action too. Geez, is there any one in Hollywood who doesn’t have his or her own celebrity fashion line? I doubt it after learning about the latest round of TV and movie fashionistas (none who have any experience in the fashion biz—-not that that’s a prerequisite in Tinseltown these days) who are now offering you a chance to wear a little number they had a hand in creating. Add Lindsay Lohan’s name … Continue reading →

Unlikely Hollywood Fashion Designers

When I hear the name Luke Wilson the first word that pops into my mind is NOT fashion (or fashionable for that matter). Which is why I was floored when I learned that the actor is teaming up with PUMA to design a new line of modern golf apparel. Well, at least he’s not designing women’s shoes. The youngest Wilson brother says he plays “a ton of golf” so he figured it would be “fun” venturing into the world of sports apparel. So what can we look for on the links once the new Wilson/PUMA collection is unveiled? Company spokespeople … Continue reading →

Like. . .I So Don’t Get Fashion

Fashion to me, is when I match my clothing. I’m really much more of an L.L. Bean kind of girl. I like sturdy clothing that doesn’t really go out of style and is very comfortable. Emphasis on comfortable there. My two oldest daughters on the other hand, of course, like what’s in style. We have a few basic rules in our house, but otherwise, my husband and I are comfortable letting them wear whatever they want. Letting our children wear whatever they want however, does garner us some very odd looks at times. On rare occasion it leaves passers by … Continue reading →

Dress Your Baby Like a Rock Star

He’s got more tattoos than most people have teeth and he likes his music loud and louder. So when his girlfriend Nicole Richie gives birth to their child next month don’t expect Joel Madden to be taking the infant home dressed in a traditional onesie. The Good Charlotte rocker and his twin brother bandmate Benji just launched a new line of baby clothes, which they are selling under their DCMA Collective brand in anticipation of the newest Madden’s arrival. Richie’s baby daddy says he was inspired to create the collection because, “I think it would be really awesome for me … Continue reading →

Fashion Forward: Wedgie-Proof Underwear

Forget about Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Donna Karan, the hottest fashion designers on the block these days are 8-year-old twin boys. If you tuned into “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” last week you might be familiar with Justin and Jared Serovich’s fashion forward creation—-wedgie-proof underwear also known as the “Rip Away 1000.” The boys rigged boxer shorts and fabric fasteners to hold together some seams—and voila—instant protection from underwear grabbing bullies. “When the person tries to grab you and tries to give you a wedgie – they just rip away,” Justin explained to DeGeneres. The third graders say they came … Continue reading →

Must Have Items For Fall That You May Already Own

Just in time for Halloween the weather around here is finally beginning to feel fall-like. (Never mind that I pulled out our sweaters and corduroy pants months ago.) As I perused my closet the other night I was pleasantly surprised (make that shocked) to see that I actually own a few items that fashion experts claim are “must-have” pieces for Fall 2007. This, of course, means that if my closet has items fit for a fall fashionista, yours must too. Take a look at the following list and see if you have the makings of a trendy fall collection in … Continue reading →
