Trend Alert: High Waist Bottoms

June 22, 201534 Comments

It started with the “mom jeans,” the total antithesis of hip-huggers which were my go-to jeans in my teen years. At first, it took a while for mom jeans to grow on me, however, designers have really perfected the high-waist style to create a clean, crisp look. What I love about high-waisted shorts, jeans, and skirts is:
1. They accentuate your curves in the right places and keep everything into place. There is nothing falling out in the wrong places so they are super flattering.

2. I love crop tops! But I just had a babe so… high-waisted pants are the perfect solution if you want to where those adorable crop tops without showing a lot of tummy. Problem solved!

3. They elongate your legs. I am only 5’2 so I need all the help I can get. If you tuck in your shirt or pull off a crop top, the extra fabric that shows gives the illusion of longer, leaner legs. I’m sold!

I am so proud of this guy! My hubby, Ryan, is the Treasurer of a local breast cancer non-profit organization, The Linda Clemens Breast Cancer Foundation. Every May is their annual Pink Glove Party, which is their charity gala to raise money to help local women affected by breast cancer. It was a huge success & Ryan worked so hard to prepare for this successful event. Here are a few photos we took while on our way to the event.

A lot of people think of Connecticut as small-town rural state but the beauty is that it has the charm of the rural neighborhoods, scenic routes, local vineyards while also having a lot of options for entertainment and shopping. I am thrilled that one of CT’s own casinos, Foxwoods Resort is opening up a Tanger Outlet for even more fabulous shopping right here in CT! Today is the Grand Opening and there are so many great sales and incentives, including a chance to meet the Property Brothers, Jonathan & Drew Scott! . I was lucky enough to partner with Easy Spirit for an upcoming style post (stay tuned!) and excited that Easy Spirit will have a location at the new Tanger Outlets| Foxwoods. Easy Spirit is known for their amazingly comfortable shoes while still being fashionable which, for me is super important. Below are some awesome deal Easy Spirit will be offering through June 2nd!

Celebrity-inspired Maternity Fashion: Seraphine Maternity

Looking good while pregnant can be a challenge, especially because comfort precedes fashion at times. I do not care how amazing something looks at this point; if it’s not comfortable, I’m not wearing it! I was so happy to collaborate with Seraphine Maternity because their clothing is so well-made and truly designed for maternity. This Grey Space Dye Knit Maternity Maxi Dress was so comfortable and flattering since the fabric is sooo soft and flattering. The dress is meant to grow with you and also be worn post-maternity which is an absolute plus as well! I saw how Christina Aguilera styled the dress & tried to steal her look!
