I prefer to try things on multiple times before making a purchase—much to the annoyance of those I’m shopping with. Sorry, but garments that work well for the vertically challenged are tough to find!…
By now, you have probably heard about the legion of women who try to repliKate—pun intended—the style of the Duchess of Cambridge (formerly Kate Middleton).
I’m usually not one to directly copy looks. Rather, I’m drawn to bright, unique and bold items I don’t think others would try. That said, I firmly believe it’s healthy to have style crushes—women whose fashion choices inspire your artistic side.…

Add in an unexpected DIY touch, and it’s now a welcoming sanctuary.
This master bedroom retreat is my mother’s latest renovation.…
I think my mother said it best. “You seem happy,” she noted, studying my face carefully. “But the ‘sparkle’ is missing.”
Sparkle? It sounds vague, but deep down I knew what she was talking about. You see, my mother knows me better than I know myself. She picks up on the things I’d never say aloud. It’s as if she can read my internal monologue. …
I know what you’re thinking… Hot rollers? Really?
Before we dig in, please check those preconceived hair notions at the door. You might think hot rollers are from your grandmother’s era, but they have also produced some of the most sought after manes in the modern world!
Take hair goddess Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge. Reports suggest she uses them and they’re my secret weapon for camera-ready hair too.…
Have you ever sat down watching the Today Show or Good Morning America, spotted something fabulously fashionable, and thought… I’ve got to have that? Maybe you’ve wondered how your favorite news team is able to afford a seemingly endless supply of colorful, on-trend dresses, skirts and shoes. Do you wonder how they shop?

Perhaps it’s a product of genius marketing, but it seems we mothers have an innate urge to match our young. There’s something so tantalizing about carefully coordinated “Mommy and Me” clothing. I mean seriously, what could be cuter?
