pic7If you are like me, you are always on the lookout for a cute bag at a good bargain.  When I shop, I don’t like to pay an arm and a leg for something I can find for less elsewhere.  Tmart.com has some great sales and prices on items that we use everyday.  One thing I was recently looking for was a new purse- mine was going to pieces, and needed a replacement.  Tmart Shoulder Bags & Handbags come in many varieties and prices to fit all sorts of budgets.  I ended up getting the “Newest Sweet Time Fine Lines Tottenham Women Leather Shoulder Messenger Bag Pink” which is a really, really long name for a bag- for sure the longest I have ever seen, LOL.  It’s cute though, and I love the color.

3 disneyI love shoes- I think that might not be a secret.  My husband is certainly aware.  For me, the shoes make or break the outfit, and I adore my latest pair from Born Shoes.  They are not only super cute, but so comfortable (I swear) you can wear them all day long without getting sore feet or a blister.  I have worn them 4 times since getting them a few weeks ago (it’s still winter weather here, but I have been on a few trips to warm-weather locations!)  and and not one time did my feet hurt afterward, and every time I wore them I got compliments.

Peter Som for Kohl’s – Fashion Inspired by Travel

March 22, 2014 by 3 Comments
Disclosure- This post about the new Peter Som line for Kohl’s is sponsored.  I participated in an Ambassador program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Kohl’s. I received Kohl’s gift cards and sample pieces to facilitate my posts and as a thank you for participating.  All opinions are my own and honest.

With all the travel that I do, it’s always nice to have something fun, light, and breezy to wear.  The new Peter Som collection coming soon to Kohl’s stores and online is perfect for summer days and island lounging.

Peter Som designed a line of clothes for Kohl’s DesigNation inspired by St. Barth’s islands. I guess he likes to travel, too.

polyvoreThe middle outfit and the swatch to the left of it are Peter Som from New York Fashion week.  The other items are some pinks and peaches that I thought would match his collection, especially considering the pink trend of the season.

I received a few samples of the almost available in stores clothes.  They feel silky and soft to the touch, and I’m sure they would be fun to wear.

3 8 14 toys 010After having my son, I (much more quickly then I thought I would have) lost my style.  I went from having fun shopping and picking out my outfits, shoes, and accessories to just grabbing my track pants and t-shirts and going.  Dude- they are totally clean, what’s wrong with that?  Right?  Yeah, right.  Well, I don’t feel as good as I used to, for one.  This year, I am trying to get my body and my style back, and trying to look more like ME and less like…well, like a schlump.

3 8 14 toys 007I was asked to be a Kohl’s Fashion Ambassador-for the next 6 weeks, I will be bringing you weekly posts about Kohls, their new line of St. Berth’s inspired fashion from Peter Som, videos, and amazing giveaways for you as well.  We can learn to bring our sexy back together, and for less then you would think.  I am all about making one piece work in multiple ways, and making style easy.  I’m not an over-primper by any means, so this will be fun for me.

Prom is a big deal.  In your child’s life, there are a few big days for them and prom is one of them. Whether you went or not there is no reason to keep them from enjoying their day.  Either boy or girl underclassmen or senior will be excited for this party of their high school career.  For some, this is the last hurrah of high school before taking on more responsibility and self-reliance in college or beyond.  What are some current dresses that are hot for prom you may ask?  Well first of all talk to your kids.  Since she will be the one wearing the dress it makes the most sense to start there.  If they haven’t thought about it, or don’t know because there are so many options why not search around a bit online.  With a few clicks around on JJ’s House, you can find a plethora of prom dresses.  Click on http://www.jjshouse.com/Prom-Dresses-c18/ for some examples.

WIN Give Your Closet a Wink of Pink with Kohl’s

Khol’s is one of my favorite places to shop.  It’s so easy to stop by the local department store and shop for my husband, son, and myself all at the same time.  The prices and varieties are great, and there are often great sales going on as well.  (Right now in my local store, there is a %70 off sale going on, so you can bet I was there this week!  In addition, you get $10 Khol’s Cash for every $50 you spend- an even bigger savings.)  I bought 2 new skirts, a sweater, and a pair of capris and none of them cost more then $20.  I was pretty thrilled with my finds, my own wardrobe was in need of refreshing.  Like many moms, I am always picking up things for my son and family, and not usually myself.  This trip was for me!
