MY #FASHFORWARD DEBUT ON THE RUNWAY!!!

I was so excited and nervous when I found out I was going to model at the fabulous Fashion Forward Conference that I am always a guest at. I’m always counting down till the event and now I was counting down to see what great outfit was picked out for me to wear. I love to be in the spotlight and work the runway especially when the clothing fits you perfectly and you’re doing it for friends. I consider Vera, Audrey and Nicole like family. They’ve been there for me from the beginning and you will always hear me saying good things about them. Good things come to those who wait.

I modeled beautiful clothing from Gwynnie Bee and Mark Girl accessories. Makeup was applied thanks to Mommy Makeup, hair was done by Go Priv and manicures given by City Mani NYC. I loved my outfit and everything included from top to bottom. Even the kids modeled their favorite Halloween character costumes and clothing from Matilda Jane. The whole experience was amazing and I’ll do it again in a heart beat. Everyone did a wonderful job and we all had fun. It’s a beautiful thing we all get together and everyone is smiling and there’s a positive vibe.

Tons of brands showed up to showcase their products and guest Christy Turlington spoke on the panel about making pregnancy & childbirth safe for every mother with Every Mother Counts, the non-profit organization. @CTurlington @everymomcounts http://www.everymothercounts.org

For more info on these three fabulous ladies you can follow them on Twitter: @VeraSweeney @AudreyMcClellan @Momtrends

The food was great from Tacombi (Mexican) and the venue was beautifully decorated. It’s always great attending Fashion Forward and I can’t wait till 2015. Thank you for letting me model and for having a great panel of speakers and sponsors.

Disclosure: I was not compensated for this post. Gift bags were given. Opinions are mine as always 100%.

@landsend 2015 SWIM PREVIEW #landsend

30 Dec

It was fun attending Lands End preview to get me more excited for spring/summer to hurry up and get here and my cruise, which I just booked. It also helps me to start shopping early and planning my wardrobe for the new year. I was excited to see what was in store this time for their swimwear. I’m going to make it my business to get to the beach a lot more next year. How could I not with the amazing collection that Lands End delivered ?

I’ve always loved a good Tankini top. There’s the Scoopneck with higher neckline and wider straps, the v-neck that ties at the neck and enhances the bust and the Halter Dresskini top which is the coverage of a swimdress which you can wear over your swim bottoms.
Speaking of bottoms the High-rise bottoms caught my eye which is 1 1/2″ to 2 ” higher than mid rise bottoms for more coverage and available with tummy control. New item the Adjustable Mini Swimmini has adjustable side tie changes, attached panty and also tummy control. Love this! Another new item are the boy shorts in deep sea or black eclipse dots or plain colors.

Lots of paisley and deep sea patterns, stripes and polka dots.
The Long Sleeve Swim Tee is new and fashionable with UPF 50 sun protection. It’s designed to wear over your suit top and us as soft as your tee. Lightweight even when you’re in the water. Also a great cover-up for cool air. Attendees received one of these as a gift. I love the multicolor stripe.

The Adjustable Swim Tunic, another favorite is another must have. I love clothing with side ties. This can be worn in or out of the water. It’s so cute I’d probably wear it out of the water. The Sleeveless Swim Tee (new) is great for being active around or in the water and comes with the nautical embroidery on the bottom right hem.

For over 30 years the Tugless Tank has been fans favorite. Fits and flatters almost every body and doesn’t ride up or shift out of place.
The Slender Tunic provides extra coverage for hips without a full skirt.
Slender Grecian provides modest coverage. Shirring around the middle helps flatten and flatter right where you want. The new style Blackberry Paisley is one of my favorites.

Sandals, flip flops and slip ons are perfect for the beach and boardwalk.
Gatas Shoes are sandals that were made for quick getaways. Just slip on and go. The molded, EVA footbed protects your toes from the hot pavement. Comes in a slide or slip-on. Cork-wrapped flip flop has the lands end branded logo medallion. A ribbed rubber outsole helps avoid skids on a wet boardwalk. I don’t know who doesn’t love comfortable sandals. I can’t wait to sport these on my feet.

For the active woman on the move who loves swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and beach volleyball there are plenty to choose from. Fabric made with Xtra Life Lycra spandex fiber that is resistant to chlorine. Also superior shape retention means an active, long life for your suit. The Triangle Bikini Top has a deep V neckline to enhance the bust. Love this!!! Multi colored. Zip- front Rash Guard that you wear over your swim top for extra coverage and sun protection with longer elbow-length sleeves. Cover-up shorts comes with or without panties.

The nautical look is personally one of my favorites with a Lands End. Now with the new textured fabrics that hides imperfections I’m on cloud 9. The V-neck one piece is drop dead gorgeous there is a band at the waist and twisted cord ties at the center front. It comes in Rosa Red and Navy Storm. I’ll take one in each color. The Sweetheart Tankini Top has stripes under the bust that add visual interest. Also, the V-Neck Tankini Top laced deep V adds a modern edge. You can reveal or conceal with the adjustable front tie that lets you choose the level of coverage.

I hope to have a few of these on my cruise and for the summer of 2015 and beyond.

@hawkeandco F/W 2014 PRESS EVENT #FALLFORHAWKE #mensfashion #outerwear

24 Dec

I attended Hawke & Co F/W 2014 press event for their outerwear in their new showroom in NYC. Let me give you a little background history about Hawke & Co first from their mouths.

After 150 years, spanning three generations of an independently owned and operated family business, the Hawke & Co brand continues to evolve while remaining true to its NYC roots.

Our outerwear is more than the sum of its parts. Our jackets are the embodiment of our creative spirit and attention to detail. Each of our garments are carefully crafted and designed to be multi-purpose functional clothing that complements the versatility and exploration within the people we connect with.

Today Hawke & Co apparel and outerwear can be found in over 20,000 retail stores around the world. We’ve grown without expensive advertising or big name celebrities on a billboard but rather, through an authentic, grass roots idea to design and create innovative, affordable styles that satisfy our customer’s needs while exceeding their expectations every time.

We’ve come a long way since our founders first stepped onto the cobblestone streets of New York City and their standards to quality, function and design remain an integral part to our core as a company. Hawke & Co is committed to consistently deliver innovative and functional styles designed with the individual in mind. We hope you enjoy your jacket as much as we enjoyed making it.

I’ve been a fan of Hawke & Co for a very long time. I love their high quality styles for men, the warmth, how the designers listen to their customers wants and needs, durable fabrics and high tech details. Great outerwear for the outdoor adventurer and urban explorer. Outerwear that keeps me and my family warm in frigid conditions is what I look for. I think it’s time for my family and I to take a trip and explore. As long as Hawke & Co comes along for our journey I would love to capture it all.

The showroom had so many options to choose from like the packable lightweight jackets that we also received as a gift in a variety of colors. Quilted jackets, fur trimmed hooded parkas, down jackets , fleece and packlite vests in a number of colors as well. Backpacks, shoes, boots, swim trunks and clothing all looked great! My three young men would love everything there. I usually find Hawke & Co at department stores and catch the sales every time.

PRZMAN treated men who visited the showroom to a shave with their grooming products. We were also given samples to take with us. You can check out their products on a twitter @PRZ_MAN or on their website www. PRZMAN.com

Disclosure: I was not compensated for this post. I was given a gift bag with goodies. Thank you Hawke & Co.

#MOMTRENDSHOLIDAY EVENT @StellaDot SHOWROOM IN NYC

4 Dec

This year bloggers celebrated the holiday season with Momtrends at the Stella & Dot Showroom down on Wooster St, in NYC. I always get super excited when Momtrends throws their fabulous events. Donations this year were to Bottomless Closet. We were able to bring new or lightly used work clothes, accessories, coats or shoes for disadvantaged women going into the workplace. I remember years ago being part of a program like this where I got a referral to get free clothes, jewelry, shoes, etc so I could go on an interview. These programs/agencies/charities come in handy when women/men need clothing to go into the workplace. I appreciated it a lot. I didn’t mind at all donating for a good cause.

Sponsors in attendance were Teleflora, Priv, Lands End, Walkers, Little Me, Duck, I See Me, Vermont Nut Free Chocolate, Apothederm, Peanut Hottie, Stella & Dot.

Teleflora. I absolutely love Teleflora flowers because first of all they never box any of their flowers. They are delivered fresh across the US and Canada. You can choose from a variety of occasions and styles. There’s the Thinking of You flowers, Just Because and I’m Sorry flowers just to name a few.

Teleflora featured three new bouquets that captured the authenticity and spirit of the festive family holiday traditions. The trio includes a holly motif- serving bowl, a gingerbread-house cookie jar and a merry mug. Each of these bouquets will arrive with a Teleflora exclusive holiday recipe. For example, a chocolate-dipped cookie recipe accompanies the Gingerbread Cookie Jar Bouquet. Cake Boss Buddy Valastro and Teleflora collaborated and recipes are courtesy of him.

My kids loved their Gingerbread Cookie Jar Bouquet. It made a great centerpiece on their table. Once the flowers have passed on the cookie jar is a special treat for the kids to grab cookies. Check out http://www.teleflora.com and order from the Homemade for the Holiday collection. Twitter: @Teleflora

Lands End my absolutely favorite store for apparel, outerwear, footwear and home items made sure they did what they do best and brought us their holiday outfits for a few lucky bloggers to model. I loved the black sleeveless ponte sheath dress with pockets and cashmere dress cardigan sweater in red on one of the models. The cardigan gave it that pop of color. The jewelry from Stella & Dot was sparkly and amazing. The whole outfit makes a great look for holiday parties. I also adores the Déjà Vu Double-Sided Stud earrings from Stella & Dot. I need to purchase these quickly.

Lands End also showed us gifts to please everyone on your list. Cozy pajamas, socks and slippers, and warm hats, gloves and scarves.
Stella & Dot had a table full of beautiful necklaces, bracelets, and rings. Mother, daughter, niece, aunt whoever they won’t be disappointed if any of these were handed to them. http://www.landsend.com http://www.stelladot.com Twitter: @landsend @stelladot

Walkers Shortbread cookies melted in my mouth. I love shortbread cookies and was happy to see they have festive shapes for everyone to decorate with ease. I can leave the cookie shapers and flour in the cabinet and just buy the cookies, icing and sprinkles and my kids and I can make a mess without making a big mess. I rather spend hours decorating and not having to turn on the oven. For more info click here : http://www.us.walkersshortbread.com Twitter: @shortbread

Vermont Nut Free Chocolates are you guessed it, NUT FREE!! There are so many people allergic to nuts so it’s good to know we can buy all the chocolate we want with this company. I’m a chocoholic so I made sure to try lots of samples. Even the chocolate covered pretzels were good. Check out the website for gifts and other treats. http://www.vermontnutfree.com Twitter: @vermontnutfree

Priv stopped by giving manicures to those who wanted it. I’ve been to quite a few events with Priv where I’ve gotten manicures or makeup done. They come to your home and hook you up. Follow them on Twitter: @gopriv

The Duck Brand is for that crafty, DIY person. My kids and I love duck tape and crafting. Love the ideas they showed us on how to decorate your Christmas table with tape. They made a place mat, utensil holder, gift box and name card. Can’t wait to get crafty with my kids. Follow on Twitter for great ideas @theduckbrand Web: http://www.duckbrand.com

I See Me company for personalized children books. So many to choose from for babies, girls, boys. We received a voucher for a personalized book. Twitter: @iseeme_maia Website: http://www.iseeme.com

Little Me stylish, fashionable child appropriate clothing. I loved dressing my babies in Little Me when they were growing up. From newborn to toddler, soft cotton, terrycloth and velour. “Little Me believes babies should always be comfortable, snuggly and safe, free to do what they do best: play, sleep and thrive.” The pajamas were too cute. Check out the clothes at http://www.littleme.com and on Twitter: @littleme_baby

Apothederm Skin Care provided products in the gift bag. They take care of fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots and stretch marks. You can take a look at their products at http://www.apothederm.com and on Twitter: @apothederm

Peanut Hottie gave away a gift basket full of their products and kitchen gadgets. They also had samples in the gift bag. Have you ever had a peanut butter hot drink? Neither have I but I will try it and let you know how it is. Just 83 calories. That’s incredible. Available at Walmart. Twitter: @PeanutHottieUSA

We also had a catered dinner with great sandwiches and wine. There were raffles, a fashion show and great conversation. Nicole even showed us her accessory picks. I enjoyed myself as always and want to thank Nicole Feliciano and Sherri Schubert @Momtrends for another great event!!

Disclosure: I was not compensated for this post. I was given a gift bag full of goodies from the sponsors. Opinions are mine as always all 100%.

@RUUMKidswear TEXTILE RECYCLING PROGRAM

26 Nov

RUUM is having a Textile Recycling Program from November 19 – December 15, 2014. The program limits one bag per family. Each donation receives 15% off one item.

What Is Accepted:
Clean & dry clothing, paired shoes, bedding, linens, hats, handbags, belts, fabric scraps 36″ x 36″ or larger and other textiles. No rugs, carpeting or commercial waste.

Interesting Textile Recycling Facts:
The average New Yorker tosses 46 pounds of clothing and other textiles in the trash each year.

NYC residents discard 193,000 tons of textiles every year, at a cost to taxpayers and our environment.
Many recycled textiles are reused as apparel, either in the United States or for export to other countries. Below is a list of some of the ways textiles are reused and recycled.
• Good clothes get reused as good clothes.
• T-shirts, sheets, towels, and clothing become wiping cloths.
• Stuffed toys and pillows become car seat stuffing and automobile insulation.
• Denim becomes home insulation.
• Shoe soles become paving material.
• Sweaters and coats become carpet padding.
• Curtains and drapes become stuffing for pillows, sleeping bags, and animal beds.
• Wool sweaters and materials become baseball and softball filling.
• Velvet materials become jewelry box lining.
• Leftover fabric scraps become paper money.

I love donating clothes and recycling. With 4 kids after it’s been passed down and is still in good condition then I take huge bags and donate. I hate throwing clothes in the trash. I’d rather see a family get. And with this recycling program it’s good to see how items are reused and turned into automobile insulation, wiping cloths or carpet padding.

Being a part of local communities is important to RUUM. Below are additional ways RUUM is supporting local organizations:

• Little Swappies Holiday Kid’s Clothing, Toy, And Book Swap
Sunday, December 7, 2014 from 10 AM – 12PM
Preschool of the Arts, 121 West 19th Street, NYC
Let this holiday season be about sustainable consumption. Bring at least 8 items that your kids no longer wear or use, and in return take home up to 15 new finds for your family! Items can include: kids’ clothing (size 0-4), books, toys, and/or maternity wear. All remaining items will be donated to our charity partner, Room to Grow.RUUM, will both be hosting a pop-up sample sale at the event, with pricing up to 50% off retail.

• RUUM Give Back Program
Schools signing on to participate in the RUUM Give Back Program raise funds while having fun shopping! The program gives 20% off to shoppers and an ADDITIONAL 20% goes back to the school. For ways your school or organization can participate, contact Nataly Blumberg at: nblumberg@tbg-world.com

#CELEBRATEINSTYLE HOLIDAY PREVIEW @SingleEdition

22 Nov

Single Edition Media invited women to #CelebrateInStyle at their holiday preview event at Glasshouses in NYC.
Sponsors came out for a wonderful night to show their holiday products and fashion trends.
As soon as I reached the 21st floor I was greeted by the first sponsor of the night DSW. One of my favorite shoes stores I couldn’t wait to see what holiday gifts they brought with them. They had everything from animal print shoes, sparkly jewelry and tights, even hats that sparkled with rhinestones and dressy clutches. Of course I wanted it all. Check out @DSWShoeLovers on Twitter.

Vigoss Jeans treated attendees to a free pair of jeans to take home when you stopped by their table. I loved the new styles. I picked a shiny black pair. You can follow them on Facebook and Instagram @VigossUSA

Diamonds are my best friend and Bulova was showcasing their amazing watches. Slim watches are what’s in now. Bulova gave away three watches. Unfortunately I didn’t win but I will own a Bulova one day. Check out these watches on Twitter: @Bulova

Sears Style knows that a woman doesn’t have to pay a fortune to look like a million bucks. With their new Metaphor line where everything is under $100. Lace, faux leather and tweed my favorites were a big hit. Attendees walked away with small prizes after posting a pic on Instagram with their hashtag and waiting for the vending machine to drop a little something. I won a gift card. http://www.sears.com/style

Silk ‘n Solution the professional aesthetic devices for home use was giving away gift baskets to five lucky attendees worth $700 full of their products. Thirty attendees won a ReVit or Flash & Go device. I won a Flash & Go permanent hair removal device which is great. No more disposable razors. Yippee! Who wouldn’t want spa products in their home compared to going to an actual spa and saving so much money. I want the Sonic Clean Plus which is a deep skin cleansing device that removes dead skin cells on your body and face with vibrating or pulsating modes. It removes 6 times more makeup and dirt than hands alone. Attendees also had a coupon for a free Silk ‘n Pedi in their gift bags. This can be used for dry callused skin. Check their website: http://www.silkn.com

Jergens Skincare knew every woman would love their BB body cream for all skin types. I was already a fan of Jergens products but this just sealed the deal. This lotion goes on sheer, dries quickly and works like a moisturizer to visibly improve your skin with every use. Available in 2 shade fair to medium and medium to tan skin tones. Samples were given out at their table and a bigger sample was in our gift bags. Twitter: @JergensUS

Elizabeth Arden had me blushing for their new perfume Untold Absolu. This sensual fragrance is perfect for the winter season. Florals, red plum, ginger and bursts of raspberry is what makes this perfume my pick of the season. There was also a makeup artist who gave guests lipstick touch ups. On their website you can see all their collections. http://www.elizabetharden.com Twitter: @elizabetharden

Gardein hooked guests up with their healthy meat-free foods. We had their fish & fries, tacos, chicken and turkey cutlets. Amazing! Nothing wrong with vegetarian food. I love spicy black bean burgers too. Twitter: @gardein and on the web at http://www.gardein.com

In Style is known for fashion, beauty and celebrity buzz you need to know. They showed everyone love at their table with jewelry to take a sneak peek at and copies of their magazine. Web: http://www.instyle.com @InStyle on Twitter.

GlasshousesNYC is one of the best event space for any venue in NYC with spectacular views of Manhattan. Located at 545 West 25th St. I love events at night because the pictures of the background are breathtaking. Fir more info visit http://www.glasshousesny.com or on Twitter @GlasshousesNYC

There was also a presentation with all of the sponsors talking about their products. Also, In Style beauty director Kahlana Barfield talked about trends for Spring 2015. I’m still fascinated when it comes to makeup and learning how to apply bold or pastel eyeshadow, bright red lip and the winged mascara look. I’m loving the matte lip personally and the amazing smells of some of the perfumes.

Big shout outs to @Tagspire and @SingleEdition (Single Edition Media) If you’re a blogger or social media fan or brand you must check them out. Thank you for inviting me. It was wonderful!!!

These were just some of the sponsors that were present. More sponsored products were included in the gift bags. I’d like to thank all of them and everyone who made this event possible. Can’t wait till the next one.

@clarksshoes SPRING 2015 COLLECTION PREVIEW #clarksSS15

21 Nov

Comfortable, affordable, stylish shoes should be in everyone’s closet. There’s so many shoes to choose from but not all are worth it. Clark’s Shoes have been around since 1825 and have great styles for the whole family. I am a big fan and was very pleased to attend a preview of their Spring 2015 Collection. I started with the kids collection from infant up to kids. I attended their kids fashion show at Petite Parade and adored the spring collection on those small feet. Soft bendable soles for infants and toddlers is something I always looked for when my kids were smaller. I also loved that the girls collection had an espadrille type sandal where the heel wasn’t too high. Also the cute Birkenstock type sandal in silver, polka dots and a nice plum color are on my daughter’s must have list. She loves her sandals. Velcro’s also played a big part in the kids collection and the blinged out sneakers in pink and silver had me wanting a pair for myself. There were also funky chevron polka dot high top and low top sneakers that boys and girls could wear in my opinion. Maybe the low tops for the boys. My daughter wants the high tops. Boat shoes every kid and adult should own a pair or two. Color blocking in the sneakers, sandals and boat shoes were also very stylish. I saw lots of 4th of July colors. Water sandals are a must have too. The little wallabees and desert boots for infants/kids were so cute.

Heels, heels and more heels is what the woman’s collection was showing in neutral colors. Lots of creams, blacks, and a few pinks, navy, reds, yellows and oranges. I even saw a great pair of snakeskin flats. I love strappy heels and the Oxford shoes were a must have. Clogs, mules, and wedges were also on point. Sandals in silver, white black and snakeskin as well. T-strap dress sandals in yellow, orange, and a crocodile two tone flat was beautiful. The heels with daisies from the Orla Kiely collection were colorful and fun. Need the whole Orla Kiely collection.

Wallabees and Desert Boots are the original shoes from Clark’s and I remember almost every man wearing a pair. These are still very popular as I see on men’s feet till this day. Comfortable, look great and you can choose from suede or leather in both. I always loved the dark brown in the wallabees. The desert boot comes in amazing colors for men like the denim, khaki and chili. Great casual sneakers in leather or suede and slip ons with breathable mesh material. The wing tip dress shoes in color block styles are very stylish. I love to see a man dressed up with a shoe like this. Espadrilles, boat shoes and sandals perfect for that getaway.

Visit Clark’s on Twitter:@clarksshoes and on the web at: http://www.clarks.co.uk
Disclosure: I was not compensated for this post but was given an awesome pair of desert boots with pink sole. So chic!! Opinions are mine 100% as always.

@Nina_Shoes Spring 2015 Collection #boys #girls #women #shoes

11 Nov

I recently visited Nina Footwear Showroom to preview their Spring 2015 shoe collection. Elements by Nina debuted new pieces for their boys collection. Sizes are from Toddler size 6 through youth size 5. Love the slip on shoes and sneakers in camo, also noticing vegan leather a lot in the collection, lime colors, velcro and canvas high top sneakers and suede bucks. Too bad these don’t come in bigger sizes for my son.

The girls collection had sandals in lots of prints in bright colors, glitter and leopard slip on, sneakers and dress shoes in sequins, shimmer ballet flats, dress shoes in patent leather, metallic and satin, heels just right size for small feet, denim or lace espadrilles, wedges and crochet sandals. I have my eyes on quite a few pairs for my daughter. I definitely want to see her in the espadrilles and small heels.

I also got to take a look at the women’s collection. Nina did not disappoint with lots of sparkle, bling, bejeweled high or low heels, sandals, wedges, dressy, sexy amazing shoes. Floral, gold, silver, pink, royal, pastel colors were beautiful. Shoes for all occasions. I’ll take a few dozen please.

If you think the shoes were sparkly the clutches and the jewelry were just as hot. A clutch to match your shoes and sparkle on any red carpet, holiday party or opening night on Broadway. Satin purses were also beautiful in bright colors. The jewelry blew me away. People will think you spent thousands when you walk in blinging. Beautiful necklaces, bracelets, earrings. Swarovski pieces as well which I also could use a few dozen pieces from the collection. My favorite piece was the sparly choker necklace with strands of chains that hang to your waist. Gorgeous. Here is the picture.

I don’t know about you but if my closets looked like this showroom stocked with tons of jewelry, shoes, purses and clutches I wouldn’t know how to control myself. I already don’t have room for the shoes I currently own but with these I would need to rent storage or move.

These were my favorite sandals and sparkly heels. Love the patent leather. All these sandals I must have and those heels are screaming my name. Here are the pictures.

What’s your favorite? Holiday parties, weddings, graduations, vacations. What do you see in your future?

@LANDSEND WOMEN’S 2015 SPRING COLLECTION PREVIEW

9 Nov

I was invited to preview Lands End Women’s Spring 2015 Collection. I was excited to see what was in store for the women since I’ve always been a fan of Lands End because of everything they have to offer for the entire family from apparel, outerwear, footwear and home items. This collection is exactly what I’m looking for. Lots of stripes put with khaki or red, white and blue stripes for the 4th of July. Loving the ballet flats, sneakers, paisley tote bags, boat shoes, denim jeans in dark and white, dress shirts with the Lands End logo, polo shirts with printed shirts, floral and cable knit sweaters with shirts, loved the rain coats and the butterfly shorts, beautiful dresses from lace to to floral prints, stripes and amazing neck lines. Accessories a woman could never have enough like the handbags, totes, hats, gloves, scarves and stripe belts. Love the nautical theme look. V-neck sweaters and cardigans with trenches, shorts and sneakers or boat shoes look casual but chic,. The workout clothes colorful and comfortable.whether you’re in a gym, running errands, or bike riding Lands End has the right pieces for you. Lightweight jackets also available.

I own about 3 or 4 Lands End totes but could definitely use more especially with the new colors and styles. I saw at least 5 totes that I want.

I want you to really take a look at the prints in the shorts and dresses. Beautiful. Of course, I loved it all. What do you like?

Basically with Lands End their apparel, outerwear, footwear and home items will never go out of style. My family and I will continue to be fans. I will be sporting a few of the items from this collection on my cruise.

@RUUMkidswear HOLIDAY COLLECTION @ClarksShoes ON RUNWAY @PetiteParade

29 Oct

It is always a pleasure for my kids and I to attend Petite Parade (kids fashion week) in NYC. What parent wouldn’t want to see new kids collections on the runway modeled by some of the cutest kids? The kids have a great time and impress me every time when they strut their stuff.

This year Petite Parade featured RUUM Kid’s Wear Holiday Collection and it was a sight to see. I’ve mentioned this brand in a few of my other posts. I love dressing my daughter in RUUM clothing. Loved the faux fur vests and tulle skirts. The girls stole the show with bows and sparkly dresses but they didn’t forget about the guys. Twin models Tristin and Tyler showed us how to dress up denim jeans with a blazer and tie and how wear an Aztec sweater with colorful jeans.

Clark’s Kids SS15 also showed their latest shoe collection and little feet sashayed the wonderful collection. Kids danced and just had the time of their lives. There was even a cute friendly dog that modeled. Loved seeing the 2015 collection so I can shop early for the adorable styles for my daughter. My son’s foot need the men’s collection.

Everyone did an amazing job and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for next year.

RUUM American Kid’s Wear Holiday Highlights:
