Cabi: The King Cobra Coat

Filed under: Mom Life ·

Ladies and gentlemen let me introduce to you the King Cobra Coat from Cabi clothing! This coat is absolutely amazing. The length, the color, the fabric, the swag is unmatched. I think that this has to be my favorite piece so far in the fall collection. I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

The snakeskin jacket hits above the knees with a wide notch collar, inverted box pleat at the back and welt pockets. “This easy fitting, slight-swing shaped topper can be dressed up or down effortlessly—either way, it’s so so stylish. I love the color and versatility of this piece. Get ready guys… you will see me rocking this for a long time.

I chose to rock it over all black. The lace black blouse gives it a little pop and of course my black stilettos sealed the deal. I love that this coat can be worn day or night and it’s not too heavy to wear in South Florida. The King Cobra Coat by Cabi Clothing comes in sizes XS-XXL and it is machine washable. Head over to Cabi and see what else is trending this Fall!

With a Cherry on Top!

Filed under: Fashion ·

Confessions of a shopaholic: I walked by this shirt several times before purchasing it. I kept asking myself, am I really going to wear this? Do you ever do that? However, this top was on sale. It was about 60% off the ticket price and I couldn’t just leave it there, right? Believe it or not it hung in my closet for 2 months before I actually wore it. I guess I was waiting for the right time. Besides, it has bright red satin cherries all over it. Where am I going to wear it?


 

 

When shopping the clearance section, it’s great to find items that can be dressed up or dressed down.  This blouse is fun, lightweight and you can roll the sleeves up if it is warm or let them out if its cooler. You can pair it with leggings, jeans, slacks or even a cute pencil skirt. I decided to go with my favorite la’gence jeggings and black slip on espadrilles. I had planned on getting my hair done and meeting a friend for lunch but #momlife and a home installation kept me at home most of the day.

So my style tip this week is don’t be afraid to wear cherries or bright colors or prints that you might not usually wear. Sometimes stepping out of the box leads to great things. Not just in fashion by the way. I have to tell you that I got a bunch of compliments when I finally wore it.  I actually can’t wait to wear it again. How would you rock the cherry top?

Fashionista Friday: Sporty Chic Inspiration

Filed under: Fashion, Mom Life ·

Can you believe that it is March already? I can’t. The only thing that I can say is that I am super excited about Spring Break. But other than that the days are going by a little too fast for me. Well March is Women’s History month so I wanted to kick off the month with a few of my favorite quotes from a few of my favorite badass women entrepreneurs. Did you know that Women’s History month traces all the way back to the first International Women’s Day in 1911? In 1978, the school district of Sonoma, California participated in Women’s History Week but it wasn’t until 1987 that congress designated the month of March as Women’s History Month. Salute to all of the amazing women that came before us and let’s continue to uplift and support the amazing women in our lives. What are some of your favorite quotes?

 

 

“Nothing beats a failure but a try”

Rosemary J.

 

 

“You get in life what you have the courage to ask for”

Oprah Winfrey

 

 

“Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself”

January Lovin’

Filed under: Mom Life ·

Can you believe that January is almost over? It seems like every time that I blink it is Friday. But hey I am not complaining at all. This year is off to a very hectic start and to be honest with you all I am just trying to keep my sh%t together. I have been decorating part of our home for almost a year now but you can’t really tell. Everything is moving so slow. I have window treatments up in one room, missing in another, the bar cabinets are missing and well there’s stuff everywhere.  I have hired two interior designers since March and well things just never seem to go as planned. But I guess that is how life goes. I am learning to be patient and to trust my gut. (Side bar: I should have ordered the sofa back in September lol) I also want to have a flyscreens ballarat in my window to enhance its look and provide additional protection.

On a happier note, I have decided to read a book a month and I am proud to say that I am on my second book of 2019 already! I am currently reading “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a f$ck by Mark Manson. It is not exactly how it sounds and even though I am only on Chapter 3, I highly recommend it.  I also challenged myself to try one new thing every few months and this month I took a boxing class at Sucker Punch Gym. The boxing and fitness studio is fairly new and located near the Falls. They offer personal training, boxing, spinning, yoga and there is a fully equipped gym located next door. It was so much better than I thought it would be and I must admit that I felt a huge sense of freedom punching the hell out of the bag. Have you ever tried boxing?

I hope that your week was amazing and I want to encourage you to do something for yourself this weekend.  Maybe book a spa day, take a class or buy yourself a new pair of undies cause I know we mommas are always looking out for everyone else. (You deserve new undies too) Here are a few other things that I am loving this month. Let me know if you have tried any of them.  Have a fabulous weekend!!!!

Must Have Makeup:  Becca Ultimate Concealer

Favorite Scent: Louis Vuitton Attrape-Reves

Designer: Marchesa’s designs have caught my eye over the past month. I love the bright colors, lace and flair these days. Normally I would never wear something like this but this is the year of trying new things!!!!

Fashionista Friday: NYE

Filed under: Fashion ·

Happy Friday Sporty Mommas and friends. I hope that you all had a beautiful Christmas with your loved ones. I know that I did. After all of the weeks of shopping and looking for the perfect gifts, trying to make everyone happy…I realized on Christmas Day that none of that even mattered. The kids enjoyed their gifts but what they enjoyed the most was playing with their cousins, eating and laughing at old family stories. That’s what its all about… quality time with the family. 

 

Now that Christmas has come and gone it is time to prepare for New Years Eve! For the past few years we have enjoyed NYE at home with the kids. I feel safer just chilling at home with a bottle of champagne and our favorite snacks. I usually buy the NYE party box for 10 from Party City and we just sit around watching movies until it is time for the ball to drop. I guess I am getting old for real lol. 

 

 

Even though I don’t have any big plans as of this minute, I am looking for something to wear just in case the hubby says lets go. I want to be cute and comfy so I  currently have a few jumpsuits in my online shopping cart from Nordstrom. I will share my faves tomorrow on Facebook and Instastories. I just love the in store pickup option at Nordstrom, don’t you? This black dress I am wearing below is from Zara. I think that it makes a great NYE outfit if you want to be a little sassy! I saw it in the window while I was desperately trying to pull off styling our family photo shoot in 36 hours. I think I did a pretty good job getting all 5 of us ready and on location by 11 a.m…. right? #momlife

P.S. What are your plans for New Years Eve? 

 

December Lovin’

Filed under: Fashion ·

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! But it is also one of the most overwhelming times. The school events, office parties, deadlines, sports tournaments, shopping and trying to just stay calm.  While you are out and about prepping and celebrating the season, don’t forget to treat yourself as well.  Here are some of my favorite things this month. I think that you deserve to indulge in some goodies for YOU too! 

Brand I am Loving: AG Denim. These jeans fit amazing. I love the stretch and shhhh don’t tell anyone I have like 5 pairs. It’s a splurge but they last for years. Unless you gain or lose weight. Side note I have done both over the past two years so that explains why I have so many. LOL! Nordstrom or Bloomies keeps them in stock. 

 

My new make up fave is Becca Skin Love weightless blur foundation. This stuff is magic. I was so hesitant about trying a new foundation after using the same one for 6 years but I am hooked. My skin looks better with and without the makeup because it is rich in vitamin C, ginger and avocado. Go get some at Sephora!

 

If you are always on the go like me then yes you know why my go to shoes are the Adidas Boost. These sneakers are light, comfy and perfect for working out or running errands. I usually get about 10,000 steps a day just from chasing these kids, so comfort is my main priority. Try any Adidas Store or Adidas.com

 

 

 

My must have accessory is a black purse. Lately, I am always carrying my Marc Jacobs backpack. With three kids and all of our essentials (sanitizer, headphones, Tylenol, water bottles, bandaids) …. well you get it. I just throw it in the bag and keep it moving. Any fine department store carries Marc Jacobs but I got mine at Nordstrom.com 

 

 

 

I am a social media junkie. My Instagram Crush is @DaynaBolden! This momma is fly, chic, and fabulous. She’s a lifestyle blogger based out of Baltimore, Maryland but she is always traveling around the world. I am like living through her right now. She’s a true supermom who does it all but believes that teamwork makes the dream work. I literally love everything about her but the best thing is that she keeps it real. (And she thrifts!) By the way,  please follow me too @SportyMommas. So there you have it. I hope that you treat yourself and have a safe holiday season.

Thankful, Grateful, Blessed

Filed under: Fashion ·

Hey Mommas!!! Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I am so grateful for those of you that are supporting me on this Momprenuer journey. We all know that motherhood isn’t easy and it is great to have our #momsquad cheering us on along the way. As we approach the holiday season it is my prayer that love, light, and peace surrounds you and your loved ones. I had the privilege to attend the Guardian Angels fundraiser on Friday and let me tell you it is a blessing to be healthy, to have healthy children and good healthcare. The Guardian Angels is part of the Jackson Health Foundation that services children and families in need. Some need emergency surgery, treatment or even long term care. This program makes it a little easier for these families in need. Last year I took the leap and became a Guardian Angel. You can learn more at jacksonhealthfoundation.org. In the spirit of Thanksgiving,  I decided to share my favorite Thanksgiving quotes with you today. Hope you enjoy them. Everyone loved this yellow dress so I thought it would be fun to share the details below.

“Gratitude turns what we have into enough”

 

“It is not happy people who are thankful, it is thankful people who are happy”

 

“In everything give thanks”

How I Styled My Definition Tee

Filed under: Fashion ·

Hey Sporty Mommas and friends!!! I have been getting some great feedback on the Definition of a Sporty Mommas tee, but some ladies asked how to style it!!! So here is a great example. On Saturday I had a super busy day as usual. The kids had basketball practice at the same time and I was trying to get to the “Werk it Moms” Momprenuer breakfast in the Gables. Yes all three things were happening at the same time. #busymomma

 

So I grabbed my “limited edition” metallic gold definition tee, my favorite camo jacket, black Nike sneakers and dashed out the door. One thing about graphic tees is they go with just about anything. Jeans, skirts, shorts, heels, flats or sneakers you can pair it with whatever makes you feel fabulous! I went with black on black because the gold would pop a little more. I was cute and so comfy that I wore the same outfit to the Miami Heat game later that night.

 

 

The best advice is to be comfortable. That is why I created this line. Busy mommas have enough on their plate and often don’t have time to get themselves all dolled up everyday. Sporty Mommas tees are fun, cute, comfy and make looking fabulous easy.  Add your favorite handbag and a pop of color (I love red lipstick but I went with a frosted orange) and just rock it!!!! Take advantage of our free shipping going on all month with code BOSSMOM at checkout. Don’t forget to tag #sportymommas to be featured on our page.

Fashionista Friday: Definition of a Sporty Momma

Filed under: Fashion ·

Everyone always asks me what is Sporty Mommas! Most of you guys that have been following me for years know that it is my passion. But you may not know where it came from. When my husband retired earlier than we expected our world quickly changed. We went from a routine life full of travels using our private jet card from Jettly, games, unpacking and packing to what’s next. He was in a tough place and honestly so was I. So I began journaling and creating stuff. LIV Jewelers jewelry, t-shirts, whatever I could find from Michael’s… I was experimenting. Then one night I dreamt of my grandma and I was reminded of her strength during well everything. No matter how tough the situation was she put on that wig, her favorite outfit and that red lipstick. Do ya’ll know what I’m talking about? She and so many women in my life were Sporty Mommas.  Our moms, grandmas, aunts, godmothers, teachers. They were hardworking, no nonsense, stylish, dedicated, sophisticated mommas that simply got shit done!!!! The definition of a Sporty Momma shirt sums it all up. It is for all of you Supermoms that handle your business, run businesses, raise kids, cook, clean, shop, care for others, volunteer and love to look good while doing it. If your business needs professional uniforms, contact an expert from Total Image Group for assistance. You may also check out these company polos you’ll surely love.

We are Sporty Mommas! Did you know that you can take $5 off your Definition of a Sporty Momma tee with code BOSSMOM?
