10 Looks to Recreate for Thanksgiving

One of the hardest things to do around the holidays is figuring out what to wear.  I picked out some of my favorite outfits that we all can wear from some of my favorite bloggers.  All these looks are chic and comfortable.   

3 Ways to Wear L'eggs Tights this Winter

Don't neglect your skirts and dresses just because it's cold outside.  With all the holiday parties coming up, you won't be able to escape wearing a dress or a skirt.  I'm showing you 3 ways you can wear L'eggs tights this winter.

Mamanista Fridays Link-Up: Fall Hats

Happy Mamanista Friday!  Temps are crazy low across the country this week.  Now we can pull out those cute coats from last year!  I totally forgot about most of my fall and winter coats from last year.  It was like shopping in my own closet.  In addition to wearing fly coats this season, I love wearing hats.  I'm a hat girl.  I grew up in a COGIC church where the ladies wore hats every Sunday.  I've been told I wear hats like a First Lady. LOL! 

Mamanista Fridays: Leather

I mentioned earlier this week that I was planning on wearing a lot of black this season.  I'm kicking off my quest for this weeks Mamanista Friday leather style.  I'm also introducing you to my new "mom" bob.

Mamanista Fridays Link-up: Denim Shorts

Happy Mamanista Friday!  I'm looking forward to a pretty low key weekend just working on Peyton's and Mister's birthday parties.  This week for Mamanista Fridays, Mama Fashion Files and I are rocking shorts.  I hear a lot of women over 30 say they can't wear shorts.  That's a lie!  Other than booty shorts, we got this!

Mamanista Fridays Link-up: All White

Happy Memorial Day weekend!  I'm excited to spending time with family during this long weekend.  When I think of Memorial Day, I think of all white parties.  For this Mamanista Friday, Aracely and I could not be more opposites.  While Aracely slayed in her all white, I took a more casual approach.  

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.

Luxe for Less: Everlane

The older I get I realize that I need to back away from these teeny bopper cheap stores.  My nerves frayed while shopping in these stores with all the “OMG”, “Totes” and giggling going on.   I’m in the fitting room trying on things that don’t fit and asking myself “What am I doing here”.  Moving forward, my goal is to focus on quality and not quantity.  Every grown woman needs to own quality pieces of classic wardrobe essentials like a pair of nice jeans, a great handbag, sweaters and the list goes on.  One thing I've always wanted to have in my closet was something Cashmere!   Once you touch some good cashmere you know why people over pay for this luxury material.  If you are coveting luxurious cashmere and silk pieces for your grown woman wardrobe for a realistic price, Everlane has you covered!

Fashion Question Friday: Party Baby Boy

One of my bloggy girlfriends Alicia from Shaken Not Blurred had a question about what her 5 month old baby should wear to a birthday party.  

I suggested an outfit with layers.  Layers work great for two reasons.  One, because you may not know the enviorment, it could change from cold to hot.  Two, baby could have a blowout!  If baby has on a one piece suit then the whole outfit is ruined!  You can just switch out the pants.

Outfit via Gap.com.  This look screams ready to party!  Make sure you top it off with a cute bib.

This is Baby O's party look!  I just want to nibble on those cheeks!  Love it.  Mommy and I talked about the look the night before the party so she worked with what she had but mom did use layers.  Baby O looks so handsome and ready to party!

Fashion Question Fridays

Today is the start of a new series on Baby Shopaholic.  I want to answer your fashion / style / beauty related question for you or your little ones.  It can be anything to what should you wear? What color eyeshadow? What should my baby wear to a birthday party? 

This series was inspired by the crafty diva, Tia from Diva of Five.  She emailed me some fierce shoes she had never worn but wanted to wear them to a holiday party with some church ladies that she just befriended since moving to the area.

Here are the fabulous shoes!

She wanted to wear jeans so here are some top suggestions I sent her.

I think these shirts would look awesome but not over the top.  Tia said she loved it!  So much that she convinced me to move forward with this series. What do you think?  Do you have a style question or dilemma?  Post it here or email me: thebabyshopaholic at gmail.com
