Because Moms Should Look Good, Too!
Every woman needs a basic shirt dress. It’s one of those wardrobe must-haves that isn’t likely to go out of style anytime soon and I’m particularly fond of this Rock & Republic Feather-Bleach Chambray Shirtdress for $31.50 (down from $70.00) from Kohls.
A shirt dress is a versatile piece you can build on and wear a bunch of different ways. Today I put together 3 ways to wear a chambray shirt dress that will work for Spring, Summer and in the Fall too!
Winter’s icy fingers may have made their way into our wardrobes, turning pretty floral dresses into thick knitted jumpers and sexy strappy sandals into sturdy leather boots, but there’s one accessory we can use to fend off the season’s sobering influence: the mighty handbag! This autumn/winter, the must-haves come in all shapes and sizes, but all are set to bring some fun and colour back into our otherwise quite pasty lives.

Go vibrant
Transform any outfit with a burst of neon. The latest styles are radioactive yellow or citrus-zing lime, and the best size to go for is the micro shoulder bag with a long chain. Worn on a night out, your arm candy is sure to turn heads.
Get down to business
The briefcase is big news this season, as demonstrated by Ralph Lauren. But if that’s a bit too grown up and serious for you, cast your eye towards the latest satchel designs for a hint of corporate intelligence, perfectly blended with fun.
Your destiny awaits
Futuristic style is the way to go this season: let anything shiny, metallic and studded take you there! A clutch with a space-age twist like the purple envelope design by Henry Holland, which you can get your hands on by shopping the range of designer handbags from Debenhams, is perfect for this trend.
Go large – and then double it
Bigger certainly is better when it comes to your winter handbag, as demonstrated by top designers such as Chloé and Alexander Wang. Never again will you need to ask yourself “do I really need all this stuff?” A more relaxed approach to handbag contents, here you come!

We’ve put together three ensembles to give you some Outfit Ideas on different ways to wear motorcycle boots!
We chose the Born Marxia as our featured motorcycle boot for this Fall. It’s versatile, comfortable, durable and classy! See how we styled this boot below…
What would YOU wear these biker boots with? Dish below!
Out of all the hottest trends for shoes this Fall, motorcycle boots are our favorite trend of all. We can’t stop gushing over these Born Marxia Motorcycle Boots.
I absolutely love these boots. I mean just look at how cool they are! They are more amazing in person than they are in pictures. These boots are made from a buttery soft leather that is both durable and attractive. The soles have great traction, inside or out. I also like the plaid lining that is both soft and warm. These boots do not run narrow and they run true to size. I got them in a size 7.5 and I can wear them easily with socks. (I normally wear size 7 in sandals and 7.5 in any close toed shoes that require socks.)
These boots were extremely comfortable right our of the box. No break-in time required. I could walk all day in these with no trouble at all. I even wore them apple picking a few weeks ago! When I get home, I don’t want to take them off as soon as I get in the door, like most boots. Best of all, I get tons of compliments on these boots everytime I wear them. If you are looking for some biker boots or motorcycle boots, definitely choose the Born Marxia!
Best of all, you can wear them with anything from skinny jeans and leggings to dresses and skirts. Say hello to the most versatile and COMFORTABLE leather motorcycle boots you’ll ever meet.
Price: $190.00
Colors: Carbone Gray/Black and Tuscania Brown

As the weather gets colder, it’s time to start breaking out the scarves to go with all my Fall boots! I recently received a FRAAS Fairisle Infinity Scarf to review and I can’t wait to wear it!
The scarf is made of acrylic, nylon and a bit of wool making it lightweight and perfect for these transitioning months from Fall to Winter. It comes in several colors too. I received the navy/turquoise combo which is honestly my favorite one. Adds a great splash of color to an otherwise boring outfit. Can’t wait to show you an outfit post featuring this scarf soon!
With the $40 price tag I also find it to be the perfect gift for friends and family.
Some fellow fashionable moms posted their reviews of the Infinity Scarf and I like their Outfit Ideas!
