Shoes make mommy style more fun

As a mom who used to wear 4" heels everyday I realize that I need to be in more comfortable shoes that can take on my 3 kids:)  With that in mind I'm not wearing sneakers or a basic pair of flip flops.  Everything I wear still has to have style and that is why I'm excited to share Shoe Dazzle.  A site that offers style and great price options and you can shop from the comfort of your home.  Plus, my fave style icon/stylist, Rachel Zoe has teamed up with Shoe Dazzle to highlight styles she gets behind.  Enough said.
Here are a few styles I think can punch up any look from a maxi dress to a basic jeans and tee ensemble.  As a mom with twins under one it's a given that I can't wear statement jewelry unless I am open to pieces being broken.  (Which has already happened a couple of times.)  To avoid this happening forget the jewelry and let the shoes make the statement.  If you are rushing and don't have time to create fun looks yet just stay with the classics that are always easy to put together.

Some other great accessories to add to your look for an easy update: straw fedora hat or a light weight scarf.

For those that are a little more daring.  I was inspired by Khloe Kardashian, who I feel has the best mommy style!  She wore a pair of print pants with a baseball style tee.  Still comfy, but with a ton of trendy edge.  I'd keep the pant in a cropped or legging style so you can still run after the kiddos:)  The wide, pajama style are still comfy.  But, you might trip going after the kids:)

Ok, this brand, MIA is great because it's fashionable...but, still functional and the price is great so you won't feel bad if the kids spill things on them or you wear them out running after the kids:) I spotted this shoe on JCPenney's website while looking for a shoe that had in a Sunday newspaper (that I never found).  But, I spotted it and know I have to have it!  And, that I should share with everyone:)  Now, remember things I find that are perfect for mommies can also be rocked by any fashionista.  The other great thing about these shoes are they can be worn with almost anything this spring/summer.  

The look for less: The Valentino jelly bow flat as seen on The Sartorialist

Ok, people.  After seeing this flat on a mommy shown on The Sartorialist, I went crazy trying to find out who it was by...then, when I found out it was by Valentino and costs at least $300 I was like find a discount or wait for a sale...until, I found a knock off (I know...:) at Ooh La La Boutique for ONLY $28 (it comes in four colors: yellow, pink, green, and red)!  Plus, until the 4th you can get 15% off using the code: SUMMERTIME.
I really wanted the nude color it just made the style a little more chic for moi...but, I'm just going to go for the red.
I also, found the lace style on eBay by the same label, DIZZY.

I'm so excited about my recent fashion finds that can be worn while I am preggers with TWINS right now and after.  I really don't want to lose my style after having twins and taking care of 3 kids.  I just can't give in to wearing sweats, maybe sometimes...and wearing them in a fun, unique way.  But, I've recently found these couple of brands that make me feel like I can do it easily and comfortably.  

*Hatch Collection is a maternity line that is like no other.  I've already shared about them here.  But, they are just so amazing and I love how their styles go with the shoes I just had to share again:)
*TWO NY is a caftan company that started because of two mothers that wanted clothing that was comfortable and chic.  I love how they use textiles and sari's to create these amazing caftans!  I am getting the Monica caftan for my Bday, so get ready to see me rocking this soon:)   Also, don't miss the opportunity to buy the collection on a site called, EDITION01.  I just signed up today.  You can usually purchase through the designers via their site, but I think this site would be fun and if you sign up and use my invite you can receive a $100 gift card for the site!
*Mohop Shoes:  I found out about this through the BUMP IT UP website.  And although she was giving these shoes as an option for preggers ladies, they are perfect for anyone.  They come in low, mid and high heel heights.  At one time I wouldn't have even considered the low and mid...but, now that's all I'm thinking about;)  I also love that the straps can also be vintage sari's!  How genius!!
* Avarcas USA: I just found out about these shoes through a fab blogger, Love Maegan.  I saw them on her instagram page and had to find out more about them.  They come in flats and a slight wedge.  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these!  They are made in Spain and you can so see the Spanish influence!  Plus, they are such a reasonable price: $75 flats, $85 wedge.  They also offer men's and kids styles so I will have to get some mommy & me and daddy & me styles going as well:)
