Hurrah! PJ Bottoms are now appropriate wear outside of the boudoir. That is really awesome news for the chic Mommy club. Top it with a t-shirt, long flowing silk and then pop a pair of flip flops, plain ol’ white Keds, or ballet flats underneath and you are PTO Chic!
James Perse you master of all things knit! Adoring the new blue and the earthy tones you always do so well.
But me thinks the fisherman’s knit is THE piece to help squeeze the last few days of old man winter out of the wardrobe.
Layer with a long sleever now and then switch to a tank or cami once Spring has sprung!

When packing for a vacation – especially with all the limitations now imposed by airlines about baggage – one question that helps make the right decision regarding the outfits you bring is,
“WWDP? What would Diane Von Furstenberg pack?”
If you can’t roll it in a ball, then pull it out, put it on and get compliments from your man, don’t pack it!
Sometimes – like in the midst of Paris/New York/ London/ Milan fashion weeks – one can lose sight of a sage piece of knowledge….the best part of an outfit is usually underneath!
ps La Purrrrrr-la has a v cute panty that retails for a mere $18.00 – what a deal for a quick hit of fancy!
Long gone are the carefree days of carrying a cute little carry-all to the beach, like the one from Pucci in the second pic, rather it is now a workout similar to bootcamp to get everyone and everything to the beach.

The good news is that beach days are WAY more fun with little people giggling, splashing and playing, while the adults attempt to remain somewhat fashion conscious in their swimwear, sunglasses and the tunes blaring from their iPhone/Jawbone combo.

I think I might know where Stella McCartney got the inspiration for her FAB Spring 2012 line….
If you don’t want to go on vacation, take an amazing ocean & palm tree pic, go home and screen it on a silk shirt, you can just take a little trip over to Net-a-Porter!

the power of a great sarong!
Obviously and always, a beach cover up, but a great sarong offers a versatile option in a pinch for a skirt, a towel (dries SO much faster than an actual terry cloth towel so as to forever avoid soggy bum), scarf for your hair, shade item draped over a palm tree (sigh), the wrappiest of all wrap dresses, and if unfortunate enough to have gotten a little sunburnt, a sarong can be a very understanding garment. One last attribute not to be left out…a great sarong allows for strategic positioning along the waistline after a few children.

These ridiculously gorgeous creatures are pillows from Africa, but can’t you just see yourself carrying one around as a seriously cool clutch?
$600.00 each unfortunately!

And by “Baby”, I mean Olga Kapustina and her fantastic design on this dress.
Don’t you love it when the design of a piece dictates a simple ponytail as how you wear your hair?
