soooo i am going to Disney with my hubby and 3 year old and I am on a mission to figure out what to wear... sounds ridiculous when I read this back, but really, just because I am a mom, and I've called Disney every morning for the last month to score dinner with Cinderella doesn't mean I can't be fashionable...after all I will be having meals with royalty!
So I'm on the search for the perfect outfits... 5 perfect outfits...
juicy sweats for the plane, jeans at night but those days at the park... TO BE CONTINUED!

yesterdays over again! oops!!
So yesterday I posted this fantastic piece about "jeggings" and I accidentally deleted it! I was so annoyed I just decided to wait til today to rewrite it!
So jeggings as you all may know are jeans and leggings combined... the "brangelina" of clothing!! lol... I am personally IN LOVE with them BUT... BIG BUT as I've said before I'm not a fan of paying a lot for trends which I'd bet my life that Jeggings are a big trendy! Soooo yesterday I went on my search for the affordable Jegging!
Here goes: I started my search at Express... on the front table "leggings buy 1 get 1 half off" so my thought was a pair of denim and a pair of black...perfect! I tried them on NOT SO PERFECT... on me anyway... i am very short they were very long... and they were denim leggings- not to be confused with "jeggings" the difference you ask???
the Jegging has a button and zipper or at least a faux fly area...while the denim legging is a legging made of denim with an elastic waist band
I next went to Neiman Marcus... i know quite a leap but I am boycotting gap right now and Nordstrom is hard for me to navigate so i went to Neimans... I have a fantastic pair of 7 for all mankind Jeggings but was searching for a pair under $100 in a lighter wash... I ended up with a fantastic pair of Joes for $98...score!! Super cute, affordable and deliciously trendy!!! this is a trend you shouldn't miss... I would go with the Jegging because you can wear a regular shirt with them....the denim leggings are booooty tight...I need to cover mine with these ...but tops are so cute right now its easy!!! I think tomorrow I'll talk about trapeze tops to go with the leggings...but for now I'm rambling!! I love clothes... I think I have a problem!!!! Happy weekend!!

The hue you must do is blue!!!!
Everything from dresses to shoes to jewelry to handbags is showing up BLUE for spring 2010....I love this trend because its been in and out for the last couple springs so you probably can pull pieces right from your closet.... do splurge for something blue with ruffles though... ruffles are so hot and super cute!!! Also a blue statement necklace is a must... i bought one last year and literally wore it to death!!
The beauty of "trendy" is that is always comes back...One of my favorite things to do at the end of the season is hit sale racks...i mean deep deep sales. I buy a few things that "work" and keep them in my closet...if you buy good things (brand names) you will always get wear out of them.... I got a great pair of cropped skinny jeans 2 years ago before skinny was all the rage... literally wear them to death now out with boots, or during the day with uggs... I LOVE A DEAL and if your not getting them I will teach you how!! ANYONE CAN PAY FULL PRICE... its really no fun!

you snooze you lose!
Ok people listen when I tell you the spring colored jewelry at Target is HOTTTT!!! I found a necklace I really wanted... $40 seemed a lot for me at Target and I waited, and you guessed it... SOLD OUT! UGHHHH!!
My point you ask??? I consider myself to be a bit of a brand snob and as I get older I'm learning... Throw on a rockin pair of jeans, and a cute basic T and a statement necklace (which I can't do because Target sold out of it!) and your set!! I'm learning... wear 1 or 2 brand name things and you can throw in a fun inexpensive accessory and your set. I have one major rule and if I had ANY followers on this thing I'd worry about saying it... I don't buy fake... not a fan... no fake bags, jeans, etc... I feel like the minute I carry a fake bag, my engagement ring might at well be a CZ...just sayin'! This is my fix of the day.... have a good night!!!

todays fashion fix...
so my obsession today is a sun dress with a slouchy boot...super cute trend for spring. Throw a jean jacket over it and its such a cute look!! My thought is you may have to be tall to pull it off ...I'm gonna hit up Anthropologie to try the look on and I'll let you know how my experiment goes!! Maybe I'll even sneak a pic in the fitting room!

day 1
Well here goes... I've been going back and forth about doing this for the longest time, so here goes!! Give me your feedback... But don't be a hater... pinky promise!
This will be a blog like no other... I'm a little crazy but full of useless information that I have to share!! I'm that girl that watches Regis and Kelly and names the brands of Kelly's clothes down to her shoes... I'm a freak! I love fashion! LOVE IT!! I feel like I can dress everyone else better than I dress myself. SO I'm gonna take a looooong background in management and fashion merchandising and share my knowledge with YOU! Enough time wandering around my closet talking to myself and my husband about fashion.
I know nothing about blogging... my goal is to be your silent stylist (hence the name...duh!)
From you to your hubby to your kids...its my niche...ask away!!!!
Looking forward to seeing what comes of this... hugs! - P
