The day my doctor confirmed my 4th pregnancy... way back in 2008, he also confirmed that I would be having a c-section. My previous three deliveries had been very tough on my body (who said they get easier as you go...?), so he said due to that... a c-section would be the safest option for me and the baby.  I wasn't exactly excited about it, but I knew that if it was safer for me and the baby, I would do it - I would do anything.  C-sections are MUCH different than vaginal deliveries... on all accounts.

Swimwear season. Unless you're super happy with your body (and if you are, can I meet you and learn your secret?)... it can be one of the most dreaded times of the year. Whether you're at the beach, at your local pool club or even in your own backyard... you want to feel comfortable in your swimsuit.Thankfully there are certain styles that work with different body types that can flatter and make you feel as beautiful and as comfortable as can be "out" there.

Here is a Swimwear Fashion Guide to follow for the summer:

If I could wear jeans to a wedding, I would.  That's how much of a jean lover I am.  I dress them up with heels.  I dress them down with flip flops.  I make them look chic and relaxed with ballet flats.  I make them look sporty with sneakers.  I even try to make them look uber-chic with tall riding boots.  Jeans are just the easiest, more versatile item in the world.  To find a good pair of jeans is truly like hitting the lottery.  Once you find the "one" you never want to let them go.  I've been fortunate in my life... with jeans...

I'm always told by Moms, "I don't know how to create outfits from the same pieces."  I get that, I really do.  It's not that easy, you really need to know what to work with and what to "play" with. 

I wanted to show how you can take a basic pair of jeans and basic white tank...

...and quite literally create 7 different outfits from these 2 pieces. 

The OSCARS are coming! Sunday night, March 7th, 2010. I'm counting down... I don't know about you.

And, well... you know what that means, right? 

It's FASHION TIME!  Every designer out there will be vying to get their gown on Meryl, Sandra, Mo'Nique, Helen, Maggie, Vera, etc!  Can you blame them?  It's such an amazing platform to look beautiful and glamorous and Oscar-ready.

The Little Black Dress.  It's essential.  It's a staple.  It's easy, versatile wear.  Every woman needs one.

I have to admit, I hate when people say that - "Every woman needs one."  I mean, really - is a Little Black Dress really that essential?

YES.  YES.  And more YES!  But beyond that, I want to show you how.

Fall Fashion is upon us. It's about that time to get the sweaters, scarves, turtlenecks and warm socks out in New England. Just the other night I actually had to search for sweat pants for the boys! There's definitely a Fall chill in the air. I love this time of year -- I love picking up fashion magazines and seeing the shift from summer to fall in clothing, makeup, accessories and shoes. Shoes seem to be the biggest switch for me. I literally toss my flip flops for boots.
