Let The Kids Decide What They Wear – Even If It Kills You

lilsugar

Long are the days when my kids would have perfectly matched outfits, socks and accessories to complement. When the boys were little I used to stress over what they’d wear the next day and even pack for events in advance just so that even their PJ’s would be in model form when we went out. I made them little reflections of who I wanted them to be, even spent more on their wardrobes then I could ever imagine for my own. I still could put all of my energy into…

Trends Making Comeback That I Wish Would Retire Forever!

lilsugar

I was born in the 80’s, many would argue that I am not in fact an ’80’s’ kid because I was born in 1980 and didn’t full experience the era to the fullest but I do remember it well. I remember so many parts of my childhood and fashion from the late 80’s to early 90’s is something I personally don’t want to experience again. Neon clothing that made you look like some sort of pylon from afar, spandex bicycle shorts with just enough shine to show off those dimply…

The Knee Boot Fashion Flop – When Plus Sized Is NOT The Average Woman

lilsugar

    I assume there are women out there who have stopped and looked at the gorgeous plus sized models and thought “but they have great legs”….if you are a woman with larger calves, maybe you can relate to this.   Winter is almost upon us and every single year I find myself looking for a cute pair knee boots, rain boots or whatever to keep my legs warm and look stylish for the upcoming colder weather. Every year I am disappointed by the lack of variety on the market…

Why This Tory Burch Ad Was Removed From Social Media

lilsugar

It is apparent that in the world of fashion, many fashion brands have touched upon cultural celebration and appropriation both with success and not very successfully throughout the past few years. Leave it to social media to make it very well known when the brand showcases something that may seem ‘racist’ – without a doubt with every good intention in mind. Tory Burch’s latest campaign “#ToryStory: An American Roadtrip” featured Poppy Delevingne and other Caucasian models singing and dancing to the popular song “Juju On That Beat’ and boy did they get…

Since we now know that Spring is around the corner  – thanks to Warton Willy’s groundhog prediction (6 weeks!!!) It’s time to start thinking of our closets post coat season. Seems that the fashion industry is super-excited about taking those bulky parkas off and showing off our personalities with slogan tee’s! Slogan tees are popping up everywhere – actually just about anything with a slogan, logo or musicial figure pretty much sums up Spring fashion trends this year. Look for anything that showcases your personality and duplicated it with fun,…

lilsugar

With the rise of comfortable clothing and leisure wear happening on runways, in clothing stores and at the mall it is no wonder people are starting to give in and get lazy with fashion, per say. I know you, the mom struggling to keep it all together and throwing on just about anything that is clean just to get out the door to bring your kids to school, or the student who just pulled an all righter at school just to make that deadline, or even the stay at home…

The 80’s are BACK!

_____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They say in fashion, that everything old will one day be new again. This statement has never been so true than it is now. Remember that era when Madonna was all the lace/velvet rage and style icons like Prince could rock shiny silver ensembles and still look masculine? Well, it’s bacccckkk! Textures and bold patterns have now returned to what I like to call the 80’s mash up. Here are a few tips to keep you in the loop this season, and maybe even have you digging out…

Summer Mom Essential- The Mom-o-kini

lilsugar

_____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ The words bangin’ bikini just don’t seem to apply much after you have children, unless you are Jessica Alba or Kim Kardashian of course. But keep in mind that there are other options to keep you covered and still make you look and feel sexy. One thing I have struggled personally with is ditching the bikini for a one-piece bathing suit, especially because I feel like that is the transition to being a ‘geezer’ on the beach – I just ain’t ready for that. Enter the monokini, or as I…

_____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ As some of you may know, I recently moved to a remote neighborhood with literally 1 grocery store in our town and a few little shops, for a person who loves to shop – this was torture! That is until someone told me that we have Giant Tiger stores located 15 minutes away from my home in 3 locations – all 3 only 15 minutes away from me!! To be completely honest, the first time I really shopped at the yellow Tiger was when I moved here and…
