SKY

I love the color combination on the Sky "Fuschia Gold Belted" Top. The gold chain belt makes this top complete.

This top is very versatile too! It looks great with jeans or with a pair of brown trousers at work.

Shopping early for Valentine's Day...

My good friend Kristie accuses me of always trying to find a reason to celebrate.. Maybe I buy into the commercialism of holidays, but who cares? It's fun!! Even though Valentine's Day is one month from today, jlamore.com has some great items that would help you look festive for the occasion, whether you celebrate the night with your honey or with your best girlfriends, Sex-and- the-City-style. Many of the items are on sale, as well! I see several beautiful "big-night-out-at-the-fancy-restaurant-maybe-he'll-get-me-an-expensive-piece-of-jewelry" items, like this Susana Monaco "Belted Tube" Dress, as well as some "cozy-night-by-the-fire-maybe-he'll-get-me-an-expensive-piece-of-jewelry" items, like the Twisted Heart "Love" series! Good luck either way!

Babies...Babies..Babies

It has been a crazy week for new parents Christina Agulira and Nicole Ritchie. Both gave birth to their first children. Christina welcomed a boy as Nicole welcomed baby girl Harlow Winter Kate Madden. Who knows maybe they will be friends?

Being that they are both first time Mothers, they are going to be running around crazy. They need to be able to wear comfortable yet cute outfits these first few months as they are trying to slim down to their original sizes. The Linq "Lady Like" Jacket would be perfect for the both of them. Since they are both tiny tiny to begin with, they can throw on some leggings or tights and be ready for the day.

Keep in style for 2008

Happy 2008!!! I can't believe we are already well on our way in January. I feel like I have not had a minute to sit down and relax. The holidays are always crazy, running from Mom to Dad's to Grandmas house.

With all my running around, I love to wear the Qi Cashmere "Cardigan Coat" Sweater. This could be worn as a dress with tights or a cute long sweater with skinny jeans. Either waye this piece is so comfy and cute. The bell sleeve really adds a feminine touch. This look is so easy and fast. Pair this sweater dress with the Manas "Capri Corteccia" Boot and you are ready to go!

Welcome to jlamore.com Katie!

Welcome to jlamore.com, Katie!! I'm proud to say that as her sister, I introduced Katie to J. LaMore and jlamore.com! So glad that you're joining us to blog about fashion and how great jlamore.com is.

When both Katie and I are in town, we always make a stop into J. LaMore. Sadly I had to go alone today since she is back in D.C. On the bright side, I tried on that Linq "Lady Like" Jacket that I've been eyeing on the site and I LOVE it! It fits perfect, I'm planning on wearing it tonight!! I also tried on the Taylor & Hyde "Media Kimono" Dress as well as the Susana Monaco "String Halter" Top . I really loved it all!!

Sky "Echo Chain" Dress

Last night I was watching the Real Housewives of Orange County. I always see the ladies on the show wearing and looking fabulous in Sky. One of the housewives on last night episode was wearing the Sky "Echo Chain" Dress! It was so cute!

Relaxing with Lush....

My question to the friends this New Year is this: What is your favorite way to unwind and relax?

My favorite way to unwind and relax is to retreat to my bathroom with a glass of wine, lock the door (so no little ones can come in!), light some candles, and run a deep, hot bath. I've been known to spend an hour soaking in the tub! Of course, I need some fabulous bath products to keep the bathroom and my skin smelling lovely. On a recent trip to Chicago, we stumbled on Lush in Lincoln Park. The incredible smells lured us into the store- lo and behold, Santa brought myself and my kids some bath bombs a few weeks later! Let me tell you, these are incredible. My girls like the ones that turn the water a beautiful color while releasing confetti or glitter swirling around them, while I like the intoxicating scents. My entire upstairs smells great after using one of these! Order yourself a few, and let your worries melt away!

Cute Jacket!

Just did a little shopping on jlamore.com and I decided that I am in love with the Linq "Lady Like" Jacket. It's so cute and practical!! I know I would get a ton of use out of this. I think I will be making a trip to J. LaMore within a day or two, so I will be able to see how this looks on and hopefully purchase it!

Great Holiday Visit...

I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday season!!!! I just ended a wonderful trip to Wisconsin, where I celebrated Christmas and New Year’s with my family and some old and dear high school friends! What a nice trip!! It was so great to spend time with my family… and of course, to visit J. LaMore and to catch up with my favorite women’s clothing store proprietors (even if it was briefly…)! Jennifer & Jim: I’m so glad I was able to catch up with you – even if it was only for a short period of time!! I hope I didn’t talk everyone’s ears’ off…AGAIN!!!

I’m heading to Miami on Saturday, and while at J. LaMore today, I picked up a few “essentials” to get me through some hot nights out and a few lazy days around the pool… First pick was the Rhys Dwfen “Steven” dress – a great little mini for a steamy night out. I also had to have the Susana Monaco “Bombshell Halter” dress (at left) – for me, it’ll be perfect over my fuchsia bikini and great for going from poolside bar to chic shopping. I also picked up the Christopher Deane “Britney” top – the color is so beautiful, great with a pair of hot jeans or even crisp white shorts. Finally, I bought the Boutique 9 “Tunika” gold pumps – a must-have for my Miami wardrobe (and let’ be honest, any wardrobe)!! ...Thanks again J. LaMore for the hospitality! And Amy and Jessica: it was great to finally meet both of you in person!!!!

...Hope everyone is staying warm in their neck of the woods!

Stuck on the Couch!

Today I have been parked on my couch all day since I got my wisdom teeth out this morning (No fun!) With my dog cuddled up next to me and my lap top on my lap (and some very friendly painkillers), I'm doing alright for the most part!

I hope everyone had a fabulous New Years! I wanted to post a picture from New Years Eve of my favorite recent jlamore.com purchase, the Susana Monaco "Charmeuse" Dress. I blogged about this earlier how I wore the dress as is, and then had it tailored to a shorter length for parties like the one I went to on New Years! (In the picture is my best friend Kristin on the left, then me on the right.)

Happy 2008 everyone!

Time to Collapse! (and shop!)

Whew! What a crazy holiday season! Between raising two kids, being pregnant, and hosting a Christmas Cocktail, Christmas Day Dinner, and New Year's Day Open House, I am wiped out!! Now for some ME time.... Since I am nearing the end of my pregnancy and haven't gained TOO much weight, I am eyeing some great J. LaMore items. (bonus: they are on sale!) Being a big fan of Immortality, I love the "Venus Bootcut" Jean- especially paired with the ABS "Wrap Around" Smock Top and Costablanca "Kevin" shoe. So cute!
