Stylin' Mommies

Amanda

Friday, November 30, 2012

Hi! My name is Amanda. I’m a stay-at-home mommy to a darling one-year-old little girl. Becoming a mom has changed my life, for the better, in so many ways. I use to struggle thinking that once I became a mom, all my style had to go out the front door. I was so wrong! Now I know it’s possible, it just takes a little more effort.

Lately, I’ve tried to get out of my comfort zone and it’s been really fun! I love plaid, chunky scarves, combat boots, gold accessories and sock buns right now! And prints, they’re huge right now but one thing I’ve noticed that they can all look the same. I found these Hudson Snakeskin pants that showcase the animal print but it’s unique and subtle (which I love). Overall, I like to change it up depending on my mood. Whether it’s a blouse, colored jeans, sock bun and flats to combat boots, a plaid shirt, messy hair and a leather jacket. And it’s fun to change up my makeup and tailor it to my outfit for the day too.  It's also an easy and inexpensive way to freshen up your look and not get trapped in a boring routine.

Thanks Jamie for having me a part of your blog. You are a beautiful person inside and out and love that you have started this blog for all of us mommy’s out there!

Simple and Casual

Thursday, November 29, 2012

I love it when I can find a sweater that holds its own. When you pretty much don't have to add any accessories and you can just throw it on and go. I love the army green color too! This is just a simple put on and go outfit but we all need these some days. Today was definitely one of those day!

Corinne from The Lookbook

Wednesday, November 28, 2012

Hi, friends! My name is Corinne and I write a little blog called The Lookbook. Over there, I like to get real about fashion and my life as a mommy, and prove that somehow, these two things can coexist. That being said, when my daughter Vera took over my world 6 months ago, I made it a goal to stay current with fashion and to still try. Because I find I'm a better mother to Vera when I put on my pointy-toed shoes, my pile of pearls, and maybe even a little bit of tweed. I know to some moms, this look is crazy... Perhaps maybe I am crazy. Because yes, she does pull on my necklace, and yes, sometimes she does spit-up all over my outfit. And yes, sometimes my feet do hurt. But sometimes, if even for just a moment, I feel put together and pretty. In those little moments I feel a little bit more like Corinne, who is Vera's mom, instead of just "Vera's Mom." I try to capture those pretty little moments, and those not-so-pretty moments on my blog. Thanks Jamie for letting us come visit! xo

Bib Necklace from Cheerfully Charmed

Tuesday, November 27, 2012

I am loving my new new necklace I got from Cheerfully Charmed. They have such cute jewelry and this is their darling bib necklace. It adds a pop of color to any outfit. Not that my pants didn't already add some but I love yellow! I am also really loving the maroon/oxblood color that is being sported this fall. I did end up picking up quite a few pieces in this color during my post-Thanksgiving shopping.... There is more to come with this new color of mine.... I hope everyone had a fun weekend of shopping and turkey!

Brittany

Monday, November 26, 2012

My name is Brittany and I am a young wife and mother of two little boys. I love anything having to do with home and family living including crafts, interior design, sewing, painting, art, cooking, baking, spending time with family, and playing with my 4-year-old, Jason, and my 1-year-old, Bryan.  I always seem to have a project going - it's what keeps me happy in life.  I have a blog to keep track of all my ideas at little-inspirations.blogspot.com and I sell a few of these ideas in my Etsy Little Craft Shoppe.  I'm not a super trendy person, but right now I'm loving stripes.  They're so fun!  That, and I always love mustard yellow in the fall.  It's not always easy to be cute when you're a mom, but I am always looking for fashion inspiration to help me out.  So, thank you, Stylin Mommies!

Sweater - Target, Refashioned by Me (I bought it a size larger and took in a seam from the end of the sleeves all the way around to the bottom of the sweater at the waste and used the extra that I cut out to create the texture on the front by just sewing it on in a crazy pattern, in case you're interested...)
