A Mother’s Day to Remember

I never shy away from an opportunity to play dress up with my girls.  With Mother's Day right around the corner, it seemed fitting for a mother/daughter photo shoot.  I love a good stylized shoot, theme and all.  I have taken many pictures featuring a foliage backdrop and even dared the city.  I was looking to travel down uncharted territory this time.  I wanted an urban theme with fun dresses and colored walls.  After visiting  Lu Lu Belle Boutique in Closter, my vision started coming to life. Firstly, if you love fashion and dressing your kiddies in unique outfits, I highly recommend frequenting Lu Lu Belle Boutique.  It's a haven of fashion goodness.  I was introduced to the owner, Laura, through a mutual blogger friend.  When we arrived, she gave my girls the royal treatment.  ...

A Mother’s Day to Remember: Part 2

We are back with the second half of our jovial Mother's Day Shoot.  These pictures truly depict all the fun we had this day.  Gianna was reluctant to wear dresses because they have become completely out of her comfort zone.  Ice cream and a day off from school, however, sealed the deal.  Bribery is a mother's best friend! As I was prepping for the shoot, I thought about all the underlying nuances that go into getting the perfect shot.  Warmer weather is a blogger's dream, but the sun can be our worst enemy.  Often, you will see me hidden ...

I Was Made for Sunny Days

Beautiful weather is food for the soul.  This weekend we were blessed with two perfect Spring like days.  A fresh breeze sailed through every open window, corvette tops were down, kids were seen splashing in and out of sprinklers, and lots of ice cream was being indulged.  It's been a LONG winter and the warmer temperatures were just what the doctor ordered.   I forgot how nice it was to walk outside and feel comfortable and free.  No cumbersome jackets or cold weather accessories were needed.  Instead the sun was brightly shining, the grass ...

School of Rock

It's evident that I am extremely passionate about the arts.  An avid theater lover, Broadway shows are my leisure.  Unfortunately, hectic schedules and hefty ticket prices have made it harder to frequent my favorite pastime.  Needless to say, when the opportunity to see a show presents itself, I am there! Over the weekend, my parents were gracious enough to take my girls and I to see School of Rock.  Gianna has been fortunate enough to see numerous Broadway shows over the past few years, but this would be Mia's first.  Excited was an ...

Denim Skirt

I often get asked what articles of clothing I deem timeless.  With so many fleeting trends, this is a valid question.  One piece that immediately comes to mind is a functional denim skirt.  The word versatile gets thrown around so loosely in the fashion blog world.  Whenever I use this term, it's safe to say the referring item is a closet staple.  A denim skirt will certainly stand the test of time. It can be challenging to find the right one.  Some are too short or just too structured.  I recommend trying on many different styles to ...

Woman of Excellence

Although I don't get invited to many, I love theme inspired events planned around impeccable details.  Dressing up to duplicate the theme, while fun, can be super daunting.  I thrive on a good ole fashion challenge, and was excited to style my most recent client for her themed award dinner. Erin Delaney and I connected over social media.  Avid fashion lovers, it's no surprise we bonded over clothes!  She has been very supportive of my recent endeavors and I couldn't wait to work with her.   This wasn't your typical styling session.  We ...
