I am the first to say that I have been adventurous and …ahem, sometimes impulsive with my hair styles and even hair colors. I come from a long line of women who take their hair into their own hands, especially when it comes to at home color care. So before you make some DIY decisions…
I love summer and summer styles, and the freedom to crawl out from layers of winter clothing. But every summer I struggle with just what length short is REALLY appropriate. There comes a time in every gal’s life when she has to admit that her legs just aren’t what they used to be, and there…
Avon has really kicked it up a notch in recent years and we at The Fashionable Housewife are certainly happy that we get to be involved! Not only were we fortunate enough to be involved in a round table discussion with their Global Creative Color Director (and Hollywood makeup artist) Jillian Dempsey (see article here)…
I’ve mentioned before that I’m a big fan of The Children’s Place. I appreciate that the clothes are well-priced yet still made with quality, enough to withstand typical kid activities. Also, in contrast to the self-consciously hipster aesthetic of some pricier brands, TCP items never seem to take themselves too seriously, instead playing with contemporary…
When it comes to flying, I used to be a carry-on only type of girl. I would purposefully underpack, carefully planning my trip wardrobe so that I could bypass baggage claim and avoid lugging heavy suitcases around. However– as we all know –in recent years, this mode of travel has gotten tougher to pull off. …

Lace was all the rage in Spring 2011 shows such as Anna Sui and Dolce and Gabbana. It’s great to take a look at the runways so that we can take inspiration straight to our Spring wardrobes. There are so many affordable options out there right now, that we here at The Fashionable Housewife think…

Women are a lot like fingerprints – no two are the same. While one housewife may enjoy gardening, an occasional glass of wine and extravagant fashions, another may loath anything with stems, abhors alcohol and would rather play with leaves than pay full price for her clothing. Who is right? The beauty is that in…
Since my husband and I are expecting our first bambino next month, my life is full of changes. Most of them are exciting, like creating a nursery for this little person we haven’t met yet. Some of them are funny, like when the fraud department at my credit card company called and asked if I…
There was some absolutely fabulous jewelry at this past Sunday’s Oscars. Unfortunately for me, designer jewels are in a far off dream world, one where I can actually afford them! Don’t shed any tears for me (or you for that matter) because Kendra Scott Jewelry has definitely got us covered. I was amazed at how…
Too grown up for glitter and sequins? It used to be standard protocol to show up to a party decked out in glittering mini dresses and sequin tops, and sparkly ballet flats. As I get older however, those looks seem to be a better fit for Barbie. Don’t get me wrong, glitter and gold have their…
This is for all you moms of kids under 3 and moms to be. If you haven’t heard of gDiapers yet, you are in for a treat! First off, I gave birth to my second child at home, in a birthing tub. My handsome baby boy was born on August 31, 2010 at 2:42am after…
Halloween parties are arguably the greatest parties of the year. With so many creative, fun options fordecorations, snacks, and activities, it’s hard to go wrong. So I’m digging this contest from Kmart, which encourages participants to brag about just how spooky their festivities will be for the chance to win cool prizes– including a $2000…
