Back To School Fashion Week Posted by Unknown | Tuesday, August 20

Well it has begun... summer is officially over, except that this week happens to just be the hottest week we have had. The kids started school and for most of us that means cleaning out closets, donating clothes, shopping back to school lists and of course new clothes. I remember every year my mom would take us girls on a trip to the mall and it was the most looked forward to day of the summer! We would each get a budget along with what we had saved up and could buy whatever we wanted!!! It was really interesting to see who bought what and if the importance was on quality and brand vs quantity and savings.

Have you heard of Scotch & Soda? I will be doing an entire post about their amazing style and look-book for fall. But for now you can follow my pin board Styling Back to School  where you can see some of my fav looks. 

My littles wear uniforms which is nice and also not nice at the same time. You have to buy their wardrobe for school but also for real life after school! Target has a great selection with the reinforced knees, which is a must! French Toast and Landsend are also great places to get uniforms that last.

So here's my deal... stay current with what all the latest designers are putting out and then find ways to create the same looks for less. It makes me feel pretty savvy to find a comparable item and save $50 to $100 in the process. Adding a cute jacket with a bit of flare or edge will complete any look while letting your littles show of their personality a bit! How's your back to school week looking? Any fab deals you have found?

Details Details - free people belt 3 ways Posted by Unknown | Monday, July 8

When looking for accessories, remember to shop smart. This doesn't necessarily mean cheap, it means find something versatile that can be worn many ways and adds "detail" to your wardrobe. The finishing touches change the entire look of your style, which is why accessories are my thing! Today I chose this brown Free People belt (purchase through polyvore link). I styled it 3 ways for you to see how the belt adds a finished and fashionable layer. You don't need 5 belts, just one "right" belt and you are set. You could style this with a skirt and tank or even jeans, I just wanted to show you how easy this is to wear with 3 different types of dresses. 5 minute style!
