Mamanista Fridays Link-up: Denim on Denim

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  We had a great time visiting my family in Chicago this week.  I ate so much this week! My future outfits will consist of stretch pants and baggy tees until further notice.  I'm glad that this weeks look for Mamanista Friday is a casual look in Denim on Denim. 

Mamanista Fridays Link-up: Cozy Knits

The temps dropped super fast!  I wasn't ready (in my Kevin Hart voice).  I mean, Atlanta has been dropping to the teens and I've had to reevaluate my winter wardrobe.  Luckily, this weeks Mamanista Friday looks features cozy knits. 

Kids Fashion Week Mini Street Style

I'm years late with this. It's been a month since we returned from petiteParade's Kids Fashion Week in NYC and I'm still catching up!  Peyton had some epic fashion moments while we were in NYC.  She rocked outfits that adults would want to copy.  She made new friends and enjoyed being surrounded by all the fashion inspiration.  She keeps asking when we can go back.  

Are we there yet? Kate Spade

I've waited all my life for this... well Peyton's life.  The Kate Spade X Gap Kids collection has arrived!  Peyton and I got to shop the collection early at Lenox mall in Atlanta.  The collection was everything that we love about Kate Spade and Jack Spade in small proportions.

Pretty in Pink

I hope you all enjoyed your Halloween weekend.  We also got an extra hour of sleep.  But let's keep it real, that extra hour means your kids are just up even earlier.  I was hoping that rolling our clocks back one hour would help me get Peyton into bed earlier but it didn't work. I'll try again tonight.  Peyton had a ball trick or treating with her friends from school.  Oh, and actress Kaira Akita from Tyler Perry's Why did I Get Married (the crazy baby mama) and A Family that Preys (the hilarious secretary) dressed up as Peyton for Halloween.  We're so flattered and she nailed it.  You can see her pics HERE.  Thanks Kaira!  As promised, here is another one of Peyton's looks from Kids Fashion Week in NYC taken by Nasilele Photography.

Mamanista Friday: Ponchos + Link-up is Back

Happy Halloween!  I can't believe November is tomorrow! OMG!  This year has gone by at epic speeds.  A few weeks ago Mama Fashion Files and I announced that we would no longer host the link-up portion of Mamanista Friday.   After a several emails and threats from readers, we have decided to bring it back!  Keep on reading for info on how to link-up and the look for next Friday's link-up.  This week, Mama Fashion Files and I are wearing ponchos. 

Fall Florals

If you were waiting for it or not, fall is in full swing.  Recently, I've been participating in a heated fashion debate at work.  Because Atlanta is still pretty warm, high 60's, the question is do you dress for the weather or the season?  Being the fashion girl that I am and I love fall fashion, I always say dress season appropriate.  I'm not saying if it hits 70 degrees you have to wear a sweater or wool coat but it's time to put up those summer dresses, booty shorts and linen pants away.  It pains me to see someone wearing Easter colors in the fall if it isn't a sweater or a coat.  There are several ways you can dress for the weather and still be season appropriate.  I found the perfect fall floral peasant top for the season. 

Count your coins for Kate Spade X Gap Kids

Time to count your coins!  The Kate Spade X Gap Holiday Kids collection arrives on October 30th! Guess who's going to be late for work that day... this mama!  Kate Spade is one off my favorite designers. Kate Spade and Jack Spade paired with Gap Kids, it's a match made in Baby Shopaholic heaven. 

Mamanista Fridays: Moto Jackets

Happy Mamanista Friday!  Thank you guys for all the birthday wishes! We had a low key celebration which was exactly what I wanted.  This week for Mamanista Fridays, Mama Fashion Files and I are sporting one of my favorite items, a moto jacket.

Boho Baby

I hope you guys enjoyed your weekend.  Didn't it fly by?  They always do!  I did get to see my one of my favorite hip hop artist of all time (and the finest), Nas at One Music fest.  I may getting too old for the festivals but I'll do anything for a glimpse of Nas!  Any who... *fans self* I was inspired by festival fashions, so Peyton rocked her wool wide brim fedora hat this weekend.

 

Mamanista Fridays: Gingham

Happy Mamanista Friday!  Friday couldn't come fast enough this week.  Not that I'm going to get any rest this weekend but it's good not to be locked in an office.  Mama Fashion Files and I are sporting casual looks this week featuring gingham.  

Mamanista Fridays Link-up: Red White Blue

Happy 4 of July!  I hope everyone has great day celebrating and eating well.  I think I'm going to take a L for today.  I'll get back on track right away.  Since it's Independence day, Mama Fashion Files and I are wearing Red, White and Blue for Mamanista Fridays.

#MamanistaFridays: Jean Jacket 5 Ways

Happy Mamanista Fridays!  This week, Mama Fashion Files and I are sporting an item that every women must have in their closet, a jean jacket.  You can't deny that jean jackets go with pretty much everything.

Weekend Warrior Outfit

My weekends are getting pretty busy with no end in site.  This past Saturday morning I had a makeup date to support my blogger buddy, Jenny Sue Makeup for a huge makeup event at Bloomingdale's.  I had a ton of other errands to run so I put on my weekend warrior uniform which consists of a button down, boyfriends and my awesome parka/trench from Lulu's.

The Cold Shoulder

I hope you all had a lovely Valentine's Day!  Glad we didn't have any big plans for V-Day.  Just as I called it, Mister got the bug that Peyton and I had.  So the weekend was spent nursing him back to health.  Glad that's over!

Mamanista Fridays: Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day Dolls!  After this crazy week, I'm looking forward to enjoying a quite evening at the crib.  Since all the stores have been closed this week, I still need to make Peyton a Valentine's basket.  She asked me if she was going to get a Valentine's card...Aww! Yes Baby!  The theme for Mamanista Friday's is Valentine's Day.

Baby Fashion Week Day 3: Country Meets City

Georgia is snowed in again.  Crazy how a city can be shut down so easily.  Baby Fashion week must go on!  For Day 3, Peyton is wearing a look that I call Country Meets City.

Mamanista Fridays Link-up: Boyfriend Jeans

It's been a rough week in Atlanta with all the snow and ice.  Peyton has been out of school since Tuesday so it has been challenging try to manage work (my job never closes) and entertain her.  But it's Friday! The snow and ice is melting and the stores are opening up.  Thank Gawd!  Last week on Mamanista Friday, we announced that we would be sharing weekly style themes.  This week Mama Fashion Files and I are wearing Boyfriend Jeans.

Peyton's Grammy Fashion Review & Floppy Hat

I hope you guys enjoyed the weekend.  Peyton is becoming quite the fashionista.  Lately she has been styling Mister.  Last night she watched the Grammy red carpet with me, commenting on the looks (details below).  Then, Peyton insisted on sporting this floppy hat from Gap Kids and fur vest that was handed down from one of my girlfriends.  She did that!

Mamanista Fridays: Dressed Up + Link-up Announcement

Happy Mamanista Friday!  I'm so ready for the weekend!  No big plans but I would like to start cleaning out my closet.  The thought of it actually scares me so I may change my mind.  Mama Fashion Files and I decided to look like ladies this week and wear dresses.
