Today I am wearing the latest addition to the Dansko family – the Pippa! An adorable clog that comes in six eye-popping colors (teal, yellow, orange, blue, black and magenta). This updated version of the Dansko classic clog was inspired by high fashion’s molded footwear trend. The Pippa is a pop of color for any…
Can someone explain to my why I’m supposed to want to add a PUPLUM to my wardrobe this season? The peplum, for you fashion newbies, is the flounce of material on a dress or skirt that adds a poof to your waist, abdomen and hips. See Exhibit A: Personally, after 3 children, an appendectomy and…
The following is a great article that appeared today on Fashionista.com. It was written by the lovely Hayley Phalen, and brings to light an important aspect of our culture and society. A close friend of mine is a teacher in an inner city school, and has told me many stories of children frustrated and confused…
Crocs Dawson Boot Kids Shoes Got these for my son (15 months old) in a size 5, in black. He’s been wearing them inside and outside for weeks. I like them because he can’t take them off easily, they keep his feet warm and they appear to be very comfortable. He has a few pairs…
Are you looking for a pair of shoes that are super comfortable? A pair of shoes that you can run through an airport with or trek around Disney World all day? Or maybe just the perfect pair of shoes to chase your children all day in? If that’s what you are looking for, then I…
Ok, we know…it’s a sensitive subject…for EVERYONE …(except maybe the Kardashians…) but the truth is, it’s likely that the spark hasn’t sparked much since you had children, and the responsibilities of just keeping your head above water in this economy probably exhaust you before you’ve had time to think about getting frisky. But that doesn’t…
Now that the bulk of the Halloween candy has been polished off (or at least all the good Halloween candy…) it’s time to start thinking about Thanksgiving and, yikes, Christmas and Haunakah, and all the holiday baked goodies that need to be made and consumed. I saw this picture of reindeer cookies on a random…
If Halloween is all about the candy (come on, admit it..), then the day after Halloween is usually all about fighting the bulge that results from raiding your kids’ trick-or-treat bags. But one important thing that gets lost in the shuffle is dental health. What happens to your teeth when they are blasted with sugar…
It’s true that Barbie has faced some post-feminist backlash, but I have a soft spot for her. I remember how my sister Grace and I found our mother’s old Barbie clothes– still pristine in their early 60s cases. We oohed over Jackie Kennedy-inspired sheaths and fur-trimmed opera capes, and Barbie made us feel that growing…
Since I unfairly dumped all over Viktor + Rolf’s questionable shoe design yesterday, I feel like I have to make a karma deposit and tell you about a really wonderful pair of shoes today. I’m a heels girl – always have been – the higher the better in my opinion. I can make heels work…
If you haven’t watched my You Tube video introduction of the NEW Dr. Scholl’s Original 2.0 sandals, then you need check it out! The Dr. Scholl’s Jamie Trainer was the second pair of Fall shoes that Dr. Scholl’s asked me to review. I’m a mother of 2 young children, but to be honest, I’m not…
Have you ever heard of someone referred to as “crunchy”?? No, it’s not a cannibalistic term! The term “crunchy granola” is similar to a “hippie” 30 years ago. Those of us that eat organic, use botanical cleaning, bath and body products, cloth diapering, co-sleeping, attachment parenting, etc are all non-standard things that put you in…
Another super interesting week on Project Runway, yes? Our designers reel about the usual judging process and then we are immediately thrown a loop. Hello Heidi Klum on stilts! The designers need to think BIG! The task: Create a look that is eye catching and larger than life… for a stilt walker. Oh and plus?…
Moms are busy! You get the children up and ready for the day, ensure the older ones get off to school with their lunches and backpacks, and you plan daily activities for the younger ones. If you are like most moms you also clean the house, do yard work, wash laundry and a zillion other…
Now I know that some of you don’t have small children and could care less about baby carriers, but for those of you that DO have little ones, you NEED to read this! First off, we’re totally smitten with Ergo & Petunia Pickle Bottom’s collaboration. They joined forces to create the most fashionable baby carriers…
We here at The Fashionable Housewife love our fashion and beauty products, and we think you do to. But we also love fostering self esteem in children, and teaching them that being thoughtful and creative and smart, and relying on their intellect to succeed is more important than what they are wearing or what their…
