Solange Knowles rocks this trend: pant, shorts, and skirt sets

Keep it easy going with a skirt/short or pant set and flat sandals this summer.  Voila.  You look effortless and have two pieces that can also go back with other items in your wardrobe.


Solange Knowles knows how to work sets.  Here are a few inspiring looks:

I'm in LOVE with everything about this look!  Who doesn't want to travel like this??:)

Apiece Apart

Ace & Jig

Nishka Lulla

Mommy Must-haves

Metallic Pons

These shoes are comfy, and cute but keep it interesting.  I hated giving up my heels.  But, finding shoes like these that are amazing quality and can be dressed up or down make the transition seamless.  $77

MZ Wallace Metro Tote

It's all about getting a bag that works as a diaper bag instead of getting something that isn't that exciting.  This one is $195 and comes with 3 mini bags for organizing.  

Kushyfoot

These foot covers are genius for moms on the go with their kids.  Never  feel like you have to wear ugly socks to play dates or open gyms where you have to take off shoes and run around with your kids.  These are small and convenient to carry everywhere.  Every time I wear these other moms always notice how cute these are and ask who they are by.  They also look really cute peeking out of my ballet flats:)  

Cleobella Wallet

Mommy wallets need to be able to carry everything from all your credit cards to coupons and stick it into your diaper bag which carries everything your kids need.  So, you need a wallet that can stand out in the many things you are already carrying.  And it needs to be able to carry everything you need on the go.  This Cleobella style does just that and looks really cute:)

Ace & Jig item

Have easy go to items that make it so you can wear more than just jeans and a tee.  Ace & Jig makes amazing pieces that you can do just that.

Barely There bras

Who wants to wear breastfeeding bras?  And, even if you aren't breastfeeding...your poor breasts have been through it all and should be supported and comfy while you allow them to dry out.  Enters the best bra line for this ever.  At a price point you can play with.

Sale alert!

Of a kind is having a HUGE sale on Ace & Jig pieces!!! 65% off until end of Jan while items are available!

Check out the Spring 2013 line for Ace & Jig on NYLON's website

I recently fell in love with the label Ace & Jig and have added pieces from their new line to my WANT now list:)  I can't wait to check out their pieces that are at Frances May in Portland, Oregon on my next visit.  Check out the rest of the article at NYLON for more insider info.

I love any silhouette like this that accents the waist.

LOVING the gold in this dress!

Just saying: The 6 Best Mommy Brands You are Going to Want to ROCK Right Now

Since becoming a mommy I've started to go through my closet and really consider what will work for me now and what I just need to let go of.  During the process, I've also been finding brands that really speak to the ever evolving moi:)  These are all brands that are designed by mommy's and I think keep moms looking fashionable, but are still functional.  The great thing is, anyone can wear any of these amazing labels.  Are there any you would recommend?

Tucker by Gaby Basora

Amazing dresses and now offers pants and shirts.  LOVE the prints and how you can dress up or down the dresses she designs.

TWO New York

I love my caftan by TWO NYC!  So comfy!  Great for travel, lounging at home, or if you are like me everyday wear:)

LemLem NYC

The model who designs these pieces goes to Ethiopia to have them designed.  I can't wait to own a dress!

Ace & Jig

I just learned about this label who used to design La Rok!  Now that they are mommies they are designing this line which I think has a mother-earthy vibe I'm digging.

Hatch Collection

This is a popular maternity line that women in NYC and probably elsewhere are also rocking.  They just came out with their fall line and I'm in LOVE!  Their spring line is on sale so check out the sale section.

Cleobella

This line is so cool!  Everything from home to accessories and clothes with an earthy feel.  Great prices too!
