I need some spring color!


I'm feeling really excited that spring is here! I'm so sick of all my winter clothes. I feel like I have been living in only three colors since November...black, gray, and brown. When I set my eyes on this Fashionista "Bubble Sleeve" Blouse I knew I had to have it because of the vibrant color!

Loving the Lookbook


I am loving the new lookbook pictures! Wow! They keep getting better and better. All of the pictures look so creative, especially in the Antique Store.

Both of the models look fantastic in all of their outfits. The pictures are so different from any website I've ever seen. I can't wait to see what's to come.

Way to go jlamore.com!

Dancing with the Stars


There is all this talk about American Idol, but what about Dancing with the Stars? I love this show! Idol is a great show and I think Simon Cowell is great. He is always dead on with his judging and very funny.

I hope you are all watching Dancing because it's a great show and it's pretty entertaining, especially with Adam Carolla and Penn Jillette. My prediction is for Kristi Yamaguchi taking home that disco ball this season, she is a beautiful dancer.

Is anyone else addicted to this show?

Amy

looking good


I have to say that I love the new LOOKBOOK pictures! I love how all the outfits are put together! The new model is amazing!
I love her in the Susana Monaco "Michelle Shift" Dress! I know now that this vibrant color looks good on brunettes and blonde's!

Fashionista


I just happened to be looking at my favorite magazine..."In Style." I saw this beautiful Fashionista "Phoebe Swirl" Jacket. I'm always looking at this magazine for fashion ideas and tips.

I love that I can just log on to jlamore.com and find everything I'm looking for. They are always fashion forward and fantastic! Why would you need to go anywhere else...It's one stop shopping!

Amy

Beach essential

I am with you Kalyn, I am also planning on spending my summer at the beach.

I think another essential for the beach is this Vert "Green is the New Black" Tote. I think it would go perfect with your Royal Plush "Loop Terry" Gaucho and your Troo "Chopper Yoga" Capri.

This bag is big enough for your sunscreen, ipod and of course fashion magazines. I can't wait for fun in the sun!

Amy

Beach Wear




I love going to the beach all summer long and I need to find cute trendy pieces to wear over my swimsuit. I think that I'm going to go with the Royal Plush "Loop Terry" Gaucho, and the Troo "Chopper Yoga" Capri. Their both really nice and will look great on the beach!

Royal Plush "Racer Back Tunic" Dress


I recently got the Royal Plush "Racer Back Tunic" Dress! The fit is amazing and it's like nothing that I own, plus is so comfy with a lot of style! I wore it with a pair of black leggings and flat black boots! It was really really cute! All my friends asked where I got it and wanted to copy my look. It also comes in orange!

American Idol Rocks!

Hi Jennifer and Lynn; Since you guys started writing about American Idol I have tuned to see what all the fuss was about. I have to say, I love it! I love judging the contestants and cheering for my favorites. I agree with Lynn that Simon and Randy are great on the show but Paula Abdul is hard to listen to. Yuck!


I am also cheering for Brooke White. She is soooo adorable. I love her. I want her to win.

On a fashion note, I really love the new Fashionista jackets you have in right now. Very cute and perfect for work.
I'll talk to all of you soon.

Business Casual


I have a new job which I have to dress "business casual" for. I'm having a hard time with it. My goal is to look cute and trendy without looking dorky. It isn't easy when you just get out of college and all you have is going out clothes and sweat pants.

I think these Billy Blues "Indigo Extra Wide" Pants would be perfect! They could go with so many things in my closet. These pants are what I've been looking for, a must for my new professional wardrobe.


Any other suggestions?


Amy

Flutter Top


I'm loving this new Johnny Was "Spring Flutter" Hoodie. I have a million ways to wear this for spring. This top would be adorable with leggings, jeans, or bermuda shorts. It would also look cute with a long sleeve or short sleeve tee underneath.

Johnny Was is so feminine and girly, perfect for someone like me! Grey is one of my favorite colors to wear because it is so versatile.

I can't wait to see if this adorable top is one of the new lookbook photos!

Amy

New LookBook on the Way


Very exciting news.... Our photographer, Jim and the models braved the snow today and went on location to shoot some fabulous pictures for our LookBook! Jessica, our stylist, put together some amazing outfits. You will love what you see. This dress from Fashionista is one of my favorites. I can't wait to see how they shot it for the LookBook. Stay tuned, it will be up next week.
Great job Jim, Jessica, and Darcy!

American Idol update: Chikezie is out!


Hi Jennifer and friends: Music fans voted Chikezie off on American Idol last night. I was surprised as I think he's pretty good and one bad song choice shouldn't get him the "big hook".

What REALLY surprised me was when Syesha Mercado was sent to the loser chairs and almost got booted off. C'mon music people, that girl can sing and her performance Tuesday was one of the best. Are all of you crazy?Rumor has it that she performed first and people probably forgot about her when it came time to vote. It's the only explanation I can think of that would put her in the bottom three for vote totals.

My favorite contestant, Brooke White, is hanging in there although she had better step it up if she's going to keep up with David Cook. Cook's rendition of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" was amazing and the best performance of Tuesday night.

Who I think needs to get the boot is Ramiele Maluba. She's an average singer with little or no stage presence and she should have been "rode outta' town" weeks ago. The same goes for Kristy Lee Cook. Boring, dull, average, not good! Although she was wearing a Sky top for her last performance. It looked great on her.

Simon is right! It's now become a popularity contest and not a talent contest. We'll see what happens next week. He's the guy who makes the show go even though he crass, rude, and arrogant. He knows his stuff!
Paula is wacky. I really don't understand her at all. I also think her comments to David Archuleta that he "could sing the phone book and we would love it. . . " was stupid.
Randy Jackson is very good and I hang on every word he says about the performance.
That's all for now. Wow! That's a lot!

Rocker T


I'm always keeping my eyes open for great t-shirts! When I saw all the new Troo tops I knew I had hit the jackpot! I feel like fitted cute T's are extremely hard to find. I've decided to get the Troo "Black Sabbath" T-Shirt! I love it, it kinda makes me feel like a ROCKSTAR!

Perfect Tote

I love the Eyes of Ruth "Canvas Peace Tote" Bag. It's so versatile and I can see myself toting this around throughout all of spring and summer! This would be a perfect bag to take to the pool to match with my new gold swimsuit!

Spring Tops!


I really can't wait for all the snow to melt and the sun to come out! I can tell that ALL the friends have Spring Fever! I love coming to jlamore.com and looking at all the new merchandise! It puts me in such a happy mood to see all things Spring!

When I was browsing the site the Miss Me "Printed" Tank Top caught my eye, I think that it's a great little top to wear on a hot summer day! Can't wait!

New items!



I am absolutely loving the new items for spring! Especially the Fashionista "Circle Print Crop" Jacket! This jacket will go great with all of the cute new tops, and it will help keep you warm.... since we do live in Wisconsin after all! I can't wait to buy it, I have a feeling this will be a hit! I also love the cute new tees. My favorite is the Troo "Lone Star Cafe" T-Shirt. I love the rhinestone detail and it would look great with a pair of jeans for a casual day :)

Fashionista Crop Jacket is too cute!

Hi Everyone: I'm so sorry for the long delay with blogging and writing reviews but I'm back and I miss my friends on jlamore.com. (Thanks Jennifer for the email and for letting me back. You're so sweet!)

I love the new arrivals as I have been watching for awhile and this Fashionista Crop Jacket is ADORABLE!

My favorite so far. The t-shirts are very cute too. I'm so excited to watch American Idol now after Lynn mentioned in and I can't believe Amanda in New York at the Laker game. Wow! I never did read about what happened at the Playboy Mansion Party.

I hope everyone is doing well and the winter in England has been long for me as I know it's been for all of you in the United States. I can't wait for Spring!

I also see a lot of some new faces on the site. I'm happy to meet all of you.

Miss Me "Zip Up" Jacket


This is such a perfect little zip up Jacket to have to wear everyday. I'm a huge fan of Miss Me and I can't live without this Miss Me "Zip Up" Jacket ! I'm going to also going to get the Miss Me "Print" Pants because they are just too cute together!
I love the lace detail and the gems!

New Items!



I love all of the new items at jlamore.com. I can't believe how cute everything is! Julie, I agree with you about the Troo tops...super cute!

My favorite of the new items are the Miss Me "Short Sleeve" Tops. I love the embroidery, it gives these tops such a bohemian flair.


Amy

Troo Tanks

Cute new items!! I was lucky enough to see most of these in person while I was in Madison over the weekend, but it's so great to be able to see them on a model to know how they fit! Speaking of fit, I love these little troo tees look on! They are so cute!!

I'd pair these tee's with some trendy jeans, like the Miss Me "Montague" Jeans. I've blogged about these jeans before, but they are the best!! I wear them all the time and always get compliments on them!

Fashionista "Circle Print Crop" Jacket



I want this new Fashionista "Circle Print Crop" Jacket!

It will be the perfect little over coat for my Spring wardrobe! I love the collar and the circle detailed pattern! Very fresh looking compared to all the swing jackets that have been around for the last year... love it, need it, want it, got it!

Snow :(!

...And it was just starting to get nice in Madison!! I woke up to see LOTS of snow on the ground and I was not happy about it!! This is my last weekend home during Spring Break and I was really hoping that we'd have nice weather! Now all I want to do is sit at home and curl up by a fire.


I love the new Royal Plush "Baby Thermal" Pant and Royal Plush "Baby Thermal" Hoodie. This comfy little outfit would be perfect for a comfy night in with the girls!! This will also work well into spring since the fabric is so breathable and versatile.

Hope everyone else enjoyed there first day of spring without snow!!

Union "Hollywood" Short


Who wears short shorts? I DO!
I love the style of the Union "Hollywood" Short! They are perfect for the summer time! I also love the way that they look with these Boutique 9 "Mae" Flats! I would also be able dress the shorts up for a night time look with some cute pumps!

American Idol. . . . Love it!


Hi everyone: Did anyone catch last nights American Idol! It was a shock to see the Irish singer Carly Smithson in the bottom three. I couldn't believe it! That girl can sing. The speculation is that voters probably thought she was a lock to advance so they cast their vote elsewhere.

But, the Janis Joplin-style singer Amanda Overmeyer was the real shocker! She got booted! Sent pack'n! Hit the road Jack! She's brash, unapologetic, and wild. She has some talent but I have to agree with Simon, she does the same thing over and over. Bad hair too! What's up with that! Yuk!

Last week Simon told her to sing a ballad and she replied, ". . . ballads are boring. I want to show people what they can expect when they buy a ticket to my show." I love it! She's gone now and the cutesy country girl Kristy Lee Cook lives to see another week. Ugh!

Brooke (upper right) is my favorite! She's sooo cute and I lover her voice and personality. Anyone can go to this page and read and vote for your favorite Idol contestant.

Kelly Pickler was really good too! It's hard to imagine she didn't win last season!

Lynn LA, CA
P.S. Welcome aboard Lindsey. Great dress and you look fantastic in it!

Great dress Lindsey

I love that Susana Monaco dress Lindsey, it's one of my favorites! Excellent choice! I must say, those cocktails look pretty appealing too! I am sure Miami was fabulous.


This tunic dress from Pete & Greta just came in. It would be so perfect for Miami or any place warm. Does any one else have any great trips coming up?

Happy Spring!

Susana Monaco "Amber Halter" dress in Miami!




Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome to J. LaMore.com! I can't wait to start blogging and writing reviews of all of the great clothes! I've been shopping at J. LaMore for about a year now, and it is one of my all time favorite stores. Last week I was in Miami and I wore a bunch of great clothes I just bought, including the Susana Monaco "Amber Halter" Dress. I wore it out one night at a rooftop bar. It was super cute, trendy and had a great fit! I loved it.

Thanks!


Hi everyone! Thanks for all of the congratulations- we are very blessed to have welcomed Casey Marie on March 5. She weighed in at a healthy 8lb 3oz, 20in long. She is a very sweet baby, and fits right in with our family! Here is a picture of her doing what she likes to do best- sleep!
Anyway, we are right back in the swing of things, and my next goal is to fit back into my clothes and buy some new items as well. I love all the NEW spring items, as well as older warm weather items that are on sale. Even if I am walking around like a zombie from lack of sleep, I still like to look great. I may not have time for a shower, but I always have time for fashion! : )

St. Patty's Day


I'm excited for St. Patty's Day too Jennifer! I am a 1/4 Irish so I love going out and drinking green beer.

I don't own a lot of green but I do have this Royal Plush "Rib Military Tank" Top. This tank is so cute and super soft. I was going to wear this with my Miss Me "Montague" Jeans.

Have a fabulous St. Patrick's Day everyone!


Amy

Happy St. Patty's Day

Happy St. Pat's Day everyone! Since my husband is 1/2 Irish, his last name is McCarthy, we are planning on having a glass of green beer tonight! Well, at least he will have a green beer, maybe I will have an Apple Martini! Anyone else have any St. Patrick's Day plans?


I didn't wear any green today so I will be carrying my new "Green is the new black tote" out tonight!
Cheers!

Nice seats Amanda!

Hi Amanda: I couldn't believe the seats and the photo of you at the Laker's game. In L.A people talk for days about who's on the floor at the game and especially if she's a somebody that 'somebody' knows. I am doing that very thing right now! Way to go Amanda!

The baseball cap was a great look. Very cute!

I see jlamore.com has added another beautiful model to the website. Where do you find these gorgeous women?

Fashionista!


Fashionista is right! This new dress is everything I could ask for! I Love that indigo color, the collar is new and fresh looking, and the fit is out of this world! Oh, and it has pockets!
Everyone should have this Fashionista "Jessica" Dress!

Susana Monaco "Bisquit Bubble" Dress

I love this new dress by Susana Monaco. (In fact, I just saw it online and immediately placed an order.) With the sophisticated pattern and the all-silk material, it has a really elegant feel to it, but like all things by Susana Monaco, it's completely effortless!!


As many of the friends know, I have been traveling A LOT recently, and I love pieces that can do double duty and that take little room in my suitcase. This dress will be perfect for me... with a little jacket or cardigan over it, it's great for a meeting or chilly evening; with sandals, it's great for an afternoon of shopping; and with heels, it's perfect for drinks or dinner. Even more, this dress will work in LA, NYC, and everywhere in between! :)

Busy, Busy, Busy...

As Amy pointed out, the blog has been busy - from travel, babies, and new friends! (By the way, Amy, you look really cute in your new friends' pic!)


CONGRATS to Amanda K. on your new arrival. She is absolutely beautiful, just like your other two daughters! And WELCOME to Kate, Lindsey, Meaghan, and Salma - it's fun to have new faces on the site and new opinions on fashion, style, etc.!

I have no big news but wanted to share an ESPN photo from last week's Lakers / Mavericks game. Look past Kobe Bryant and you'll notice little 'ole ME in a pink top with a white Lakers hat. (Unfortunately, I'm not all that easy to see, but squint and you'll see me!!!) :)

Hope everyone is well!



I'm soooooo Excited

Thank you all sooo much for your warm welcome!! I am so excited to be part of this great and stylish community!

Susana Monaco


I am in LOVE with this new Susana Monaco "Michelle Shift" Dress. She has some really fabulous new items for spring. Susana Monaco uses really beautiful colors and amazing fabric called "supplex."

Susana Monaco's dresses
are easy to dress up or down. I could wear this to work with some cute strappy heals, or with some cute flip flops for a night at the Union.

I can't wait for spring!!

Amy

Vert "Green is the New Black" Tote Bag


I can't wait to get this super cute Vert "Green is the New Black" Tote Bag! There's so many ways that you can use this. I'm going to use it as a everyday purse!
Other uses are to take to the grocery store so you don't have to use the bags they have available so you can consume less.
It would also be really cute as a beach bag, you can fit everything you could ever need in this over sized tote!

The Beckinsale Dress by Susana Monaco

I am such a huge fan of Susana Monaco and once again she does not disappoint me! My only question is this.... Is this dress named after the actress Kate Beckinsale? Let's imagine it is and we can pretend to be a mega star just by purchasing this dress! I'm in!


New "Peace Bag" is too Cute!

Hi Jennifer: I just logged on and saw the new "Peace" bag and it's adorable. How many do you have left?

If you can will you please save one for me.

Thanks!

Two Midterms, One Essay, and One Speech away from...

....Spring break! I cannot wait. Although I'm not going anywhere sunny (Boo hoo, my plans to go to AZ fell through), I AM getting away to the Kalahari resort in the Wisconsin Dells. Me and 12 friends of mine are getting a condo and spending three days and two nights there.


I know that I'll be walking around in my swimsuit a lot (the resort has the largest indoor water park in the U.S.), so I'm going to need a cover up! The Susana Monaco "Bombshell Halter" Dress is a perfect little dress to throw on over my swimsuit during the day, and to wear out partying at night!! My most recent swimsuit I bought is bright yellow, which will look adorable matched with the hot pink!!


NEW FRIENDS!



I'm so excited that Spring is just around the corner and that we are getting new friends everyday at J.LaMore! Welcome to the best fashion blog site Lindsey and Salma! I can't wait to hear all your fashion favorites!

Also, Congratulations on the new baby Amanda K! She is adorable!

I go this Susanan Monaco "Amber Halter" Dress recently and I feel soooo girlie in it! It's a must have!

Also, a big welcome to Salma and Lindsey to the jlamore.com friends! I love to see all of the new friends being added to the site. I can't wait to talk fashion with all of you.

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! Jennifer, I can't wait to hear about the concert.

Unfashionably Late To Mortgage Class

First - a HUGE congratulations to Amanda! The picture of Emily and Casey makes my heart melt - they have no idea, but they are going to be best friends when they grow up. Too cute!


Also - thank you girls for the excellent suggestions on what I should wear to the event next week! I'm thinking I should buy them all, because you never know when events like this are going to come up. It's always a good idea to have something on standby!

And on that note, I'm thinking I need to buy this amazing Yoana Baraschi jacket. I went to "mortgage class" this morning (please do not laugh!) and of course woke up late, in a panic. I threw on the first thing I could find in my closet, but I really could have used a great go-to jacket to throw on over a tank and jeans. When I got home, I of course went to JLamore.com to check out the jacket selection - there are so many that would be have been perfect this morning. I think everyone should have a cute blazer like this one, in case of emergency!
