Back To School


Ok, it's that time again, girlfriend... As a Teacher & a Mom back to school shopping brings upon very mixed emotions for me. It means that the end of the season that we wait for all school year is nearing an end. It also means New Beginnings- New teachers/colleagues/friends- New Classes- New Books- AND of course...NEW CLOTHES!
So, let's talk about the kids first. They always Need EVERYTHING! These little suckers keep growing- like every year! I have a few "go to's" that say consistent. Like the backpack, water bottle, a fall coat/vest, sneakers and name tags- because MY kid loses everything! These pieces are a great start to the school year madness. I know that if I start with these staples I will be ok to add more along the way and Char will have everything she needs.
Now let's discuss price because I have not received a "real" paycheck since June 23rd. If it does not include a promo code or the word SALE it is NOT going in this Mama's cart. The good news is that many of the retailers are on to this and it is one time of year when they are, kind of, on our side...Those "Back to School Bargains" are usually pretty good deals. Now the the thing is that you don't NEED everything Right NOW- like a winter coat...You DON"T need that to start school! Start small-attached is a link that will bring you to my September School MUST Haves!

New Year Refresh

I t’s that time of year when the holidays are over our holiday Decor is put away, hopefully! Your home is clean & quiet & let’s face it- we’re stuck in the house right now due various reasons. So, it’s a great time to reevaluate and refresh. I find that if I don’t go through my things, refresh and get rid of things that I don’t need or use; think those fancy underwear that you bought that were so uncomfortable that you never wore them!  That being said- Let’s get rid of the clutter and keep the things that we feel our best in! If we learned anything in 2020 it was to live our best lives. I like to take the end of January/beginning of February as a time to go through my things. I start with the most important; my “intimates”… Meaning bras underwear pajamas and of course my robe! This week at Smooth Styling with Corinne we are going to explore all of these! We will talk about underwear/panties (I hate that word)... bras/bralettes/sports bras, pajamas- I will Share with you my fav

"I am going to go shopping when I lose 10 pounds." "I just started this new nutrition/fitness program- once I am in the shape, and the size, I want to be I am going to buy the jeans I have been wanting." "Once I lose my baby weight I am going to go on a huge shopping haul." "I am not buying any new jeans-I have been holding onto my favorite skinny jeans and I am going to fit into them again!" I can not tell you how many times I have heard these things from friends, family, clients-I have been there- I literally worked my butt off after having my daughter 7.5 years ago. I was determined to lose my baby weight and fit into my pre-baby clothes and I did it, don't hate me. It was so much work and guess what...it was completely unmaintainable. I stayed at that weight for about 5 months before the weight began to creep back up because...  Because it was the holidays...Because I have a family...Because I have a full time job...Because I enjoy drinki

What's in My Closet...???

  I have been thinking deeply about how the "staples" of our wardrobes have changed in this past year; as most things have. It is always fun and absolutely necessary to add new trends and have fun with color, texture & pattern within our wardrobe; however, it is essential that we have a foundation for these exciting pieces to be a part of. Think of a new house- the fixtures; like the kitchen cabinets and the bathroom tile are so important as a way to show the homeowner's style & personality. However, you can't have those beautiful "add ons" without the foundation of the house in place.  The "staples" of your wardrobe are the foundation, just like the house, and the fixtures are "add ons," they add character, personality, spice! Wardrobe staples used to be boring-  Black slacks, a white button down shirt, a black shoe They have always slightly differed & evolved with the times- but 2020 definitely pushed us into a whole new wor
