Macy's Fashion Week 2011

LADIES!!!

It is that time again and I am sooo excited to tell you that Macy's is having their Fashion Show again and I can not wait!! We all know we all love fashion and what is coming up for the spring and summer season. Macy's is great place to start for your new pieces in your warbrobe because they have everything you can think of and we can see how to put some of your new favorites together to look like you just walked off the runway.

I know I have a love for shopping and all the coors, styles just warm my heart when I walk by them. I normally picture myself in the outfits and where I would wear them. I have a little story in my head for each outfit, i might be the only one that does that but that what I love so much about clothes because one shirt, skirt or amazing pair of jeans can make you feel like you are on top of the world. Also, to have someone give me advice on what looks good on me and have a model show me what it would look like, makes it that much easier and that much more fun. It takes the guess work out of it.

How can you pass up a fashion show with your girlfriends! I know I can't. We all need some mommy free time and not even for mommies but for every woman out there you need to do something for yourself sometimes and have a great girls day with your cloest friends. I have listed the information below for you. I hope to see you there!!!

Motorcycle boots

As the winter season is in full swing so is the boots. First it started with the over knee boots but now it's on to a short look. The motorcycle boot has made an impression.

Try these styles with jennings, leggings of skinny jeans to show them off

Try on these from J.Crew ( $250) I like the brown because it's a good with anything color and the straps for a rustic look.

Another with a smaller price tag try these on from Dirty Laundry at Zappos or DSW ( $69.95). These are a nice deep red color that will give your outfit a pop.

The last ones you should try on are from zappos.com ($99.95) right in the middle of the price range. These will give you a simple, classic look.

You wonder what you can wear with these besides jeans, leggings ( of any kind). Pair them with a dress with some bracelets or a scarf and go out and look fabulous

Better than Old Navy flip flops....what???

Yup, I said it I found something better than my beloved Old Navy flip flops that I have to buy every spring because I wear them so much. Mine usually ended up with a hole in the hell that I McGaver with duct tape to last the rest of the summer but once I saw this post from one of the mom blog I follow (In the Know Mom) I fell in love!

The company called Plant Flops! THey make any color you could dream of to put on your feet but the best part is that this flip flop is ECO FRIENDLY.. we know my favorite thing! Plus, these will give you more sopport then the Old Navy ones. THey are make with rubber as well but its not synthetic. Check out their website here

In the Know Mom is giving away a pair to a lucky reader!! How great is that?? Yes, I know its cold now for most of us but winning a pair will be giving you something to look forward to for the warmer weather knowing your feet look amazing and you are helping the planet! So head over and enter her giveaway and look around, she has some of the neatest stuff for kids and parents that are all "green". I ABSOLUTELY love her site and look on it almost daily!!

I Have already entered the giveaway but I think its time for me to do some online shopping...im heading over to Plant Flops to pick some colors! So excited!!! See you there!

For the colder days: Search Amazon.com for eco friendly coffee cup

Another Favorite thing: Fast Flats!!

Okay, I want to start off by saying.. this is by far one of the best inventions. ever.

I do wish I had thought of this but i will not complain! These by Dr. Scholl's are amazing and very great to have.



I am totally bring these with me on New Years Eve. I know my shoes i am wearing are going to incredible but lets be honest by the end of the night I will be dying to take them off. All women I know right now are shaking their hand in approval and thinking of the places they would have used them or where they will be bringing them next.

I got mine at Target so go grab you a pair and don't worry about your feet. You will just enjoy looking fabulous!

recycled things can be beautiful too...

IT'S HERE.. IT'S HERE!!

My Maggie bag!!!

I know you are wondering what I a Maggie Bag is... well let me tell you.. just ready for this...

it is a purse made from...recycled seat belts... yes, seat belts! Okay so You might not have the best image in your head right now, but it is great!

I got this one: In dark gray

It is stylist and eco-friendly.. what could be better?? One of the best things about this bag is that it is machine washable, yes lady.. you can put it in the washer and it will ruin it! I love that because you know if you use a bag enough it will get gross, but you don't have to worry about that anymore! It has a lifetime warranty as they say..its make from something that has a life time warranty and save your life so it makes sense for the bag to have one as well...

They made bigger or small totes, clutches, diaper bags, etc.. with simple colors, bright colors and even multi-colored! So there is something for everyone. You can feel good about this purchase on so many levels...you should totally check the website out... from fashionista to mommy to be... you will fall in love with these.

I just be prepared to get stopped all the time for questions about your bag... no one will ever guess that its seat belts.. and you will be that girl that has the thing that everyone wants. You can show people that being green doesn't have to be dull!

I think I found what I am going to get my sister and mom for Christmas.

Here's the website: give it a chance!!! ::Maggie Bags::

Purity

These are some of my favorite products...ever!

My Favorite things: 100% Pure

100% Pure Website

I have always been into recycling and trying t be as green as possible. When I got pregnant with Liam, I decided that I wanted to give him the safest and cleanest and natural start in this world. I started researching diapers, lotions, bath things, clothes, food..etc.

Recently, I started to try to do whats best for my mind and body. I have had problems for years with my skin and I have tried many different things and they have worked for awhile then my skin got used to them. I decided to go 100 percent natural with nothing much things you can basically eat to see if that would help. I completely fell in love with all these products!

I have the foundation and make up. Also, I use the foaming face wash and face lotions. They are incredibly. One thing that I can not rave about enough is the the under eye cream.

They also have baby products, which excites me and I hope other mommies out there.

The colors of the make up are make of berries and natural colors...if you are looking for a extreme look, these aren't for you but if you are looking for being natural and everyone turns their head and wonders " wow, wonder what she uses" this is my make up line for you!!

Then you are picking make up this of this phase I say to myself and I have said earlier.

If you can eat it, why put it on your face?...

Since using these products my skin has been amazing and has felt amazing. i don't even have to wash my face twice a day if I am feeling lazy.

Next time you are in the market for make up, lotions, shampoos.. please check this out. They are a little pricey.. but they are worth the money by far.

Now, that I have got have tried and loved these products.. I have been on the kick to find everything as natural as possible so look for blogs on other brands I find and love!

Check. it. out :)

Jeans? Leggings? no...JEGGINGS!

Favorite Things: Jeggings

Shop @ AE

Okay, so I have have a few pairs of these, of course I feel like I can only wear them on my " feeling uber skinny" days but they are soo fun! You can dress them up or dress them down.

of course you are thinking..duh. I just think they add something extra to your warebrobe. You dont feel like wearing heavy jeans in the summer but still want the look.. this is the way to go. I do love myself so skinny jeans but in 95 degree heat... who are you kidding.. so uncomfortable.

I just recently, got a black pair and absolutely love them! I never have own any black pair pants besides dress pants so I am branching out fashion wise lately, and it feels great!

I do have to say that because I have chicken leg legs, these make me feel more comfortable about that issue plus, the form fittingness is great, i you want to feel great about yourself. You will definitely turn heads in Jeggings.

I have bought both pairs at AE because they are in my price range currently. Also even though at the age of 26 I still get my jeans there because they just have aways fit me so good. Being 5'2 and skinny, chicken legs: it is not the easiest task to go to jean shopping, so once I found a band that works for me, it is hard to change it up. I have also seen them at Express and at Gap..so check them out!!!

If you like leggings and skinny jeans... you will fall in love with jeggings!

when blackboard is down...i online shop!

I went to lunch with my parents and little man yesterday and I HAD to stop in J Crew... I love that store, its simple but yet different looks. I fell into with this necklace but then I had sticker shock! its $128.00. If I wasn't a stay home mom and student..and if I had a good paying job but lets be honest $128 is a lot.

This would be such a great addition to m summer outfits.. so I have decided to share with you some cheaper options that will give you the same fabulous look without breaking your bank!
