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: All Black Everything

This week for Mamanista Friday, we are wearing my favorite look, All Black Everything!  I don't know whats going on with me but I'm kind of obsessed with wearing black right now.  It could be because I'm struggling with my weight.  Anything to take the edge off, I'm with it.  

Mamanista Friday: Ponchos + Link-up is Back

Happy Halloween!  I can't believe November is tomorrow!

It's amazing how fast the weekends go by.  I feel like I just got off work on Friday.  Short or long, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend.  If you don't know by now, Peyton enjoys wearing hats or any head accessory for that matter.  She looks so darn cute in them.  One of the latest trends for little girls that I love are snapback hats.  Our friends at Love My Alannah sent Peyton one of their new floral snapbacks! 

Mamanista Friday: Plaid

Happy Mamanista Friday!  I'm so ready for the weekend I can catch up with life.  But what's new?  You may have thought you dodged a "plaid" bullet last fall but it's back with a vengeance!  Plaid is everywhere and Mama Fashion Files and I are rocking it for this weeks Mamanista Friday.

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.

All Black Everything for Fall

Since I've started blogging and reading blogs, wearing all black has gotten a bad rap.  Everyone one talks about adding pops of color and mixing patterns.  Myself included.  But black and gray are my favorite colors.  I've never been a "pink" girl.  I guess that is why Peyton doesn't wear a lot of color.  I buy what ever color looks best on me and that's usually black.  We all know that black is slimming!  I need all the "slimming" I can get.  I decided to embrace my love for black this fall and rock all Black when I feel like it.  Here are some awesome all black pieces that I have my eye on for this fall. 

Mamanista Fridays: All White Everything

Happy Labor Day Weekend!  I'm so excited for this 3 day weekend I don't know what to do!  I'm looking forward to some chill time and shopping the sales!  Since Labor Day marks the unofficial end to summer and to wearing white.  Wearing white after Labor Day as not as taboo as it used to be.  Just don't rock a linen suit in the middle of winter.  I for one will be packing up most of my whites until Spring.  Mama Fashion Files and I thought it be perfect to rock all white again for Mamanista Friday to close out the summer. 

Mamanista Fridays: Global Inspiration

Happy Mamanista Friday!  Can you believe September is in a week?!!  I'm so ready for fall fashion!  Too bad it's still crazy hot.   I hate dressing this time of the year.  You don't want to look too summery, but it's too hot to wear jackets in the day time.  Just a heads up, I will be rushing in fall fashions.  I kinda did for this weeks global inspired look for Mamanista Friday.

Mamanista Fridays: Lace Details

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.

All White Before Memorial Day

I used to stick by the rule, you can't wear white until after Labor Day.  For the last few years, I've been sneaking in a little white here and there.  I was getting my Olivia Pope on when I wore an all white pant suit to a party for Mom 2.0 last week.  Speaking of Olivia Pope, did you know Kerri Washington had her baby 2 weeks ago?  Straight B6-13 style.
