I am back at work and it has me all sorts of inspired these days.  My major post-baby chunkster days are behind me and I am loving getting dressed in real clothes again.  Of course, what I am pulling out of my closet has changed a little.  If I think I will cry when drool lands on it, it’s staying in the closet for now.  Here’s my favorite looks for hot mommas:

Also it seems while I am chunking down, someone else is chunking up!

Party Dresses, Spring

Yesterday it was sunny and 45 degrees here in Boston!  Practically springtime.  I am feeling inspired by what I hope is the soon to arrive warm weather.  Here are a few of my favorite springy things these days.

1. This dress from Calypso styled up with fresh green and gold accessories.

2.  New Leigh & Luca scarves available at dress.  A splash of great spring color, but they’ll still keep you warm in the last of the winter chill.  (I bought one last week and have been wearing it non-stop!).

3.  An inventive way to use all those mismatched winter mittens you’ll soon be sorting through.  Loved this in a New York Times feature on a home in Brooklyn.

4. Weddings. I really, really love them.  Romance, cake and dancing.  What’s not to love?

Spring

It seems a long way off, especially with yet another winter storm forecast for tomorrow (yuck!).  While I am holed up in my apartment tomorrow, I’ll be dreaming of busting out some of these new spring looks, from a preview of some of the new pieces coming into my favorite store, dress, already.

I’ve got redecorating on the brain. Again.  Right now I am obsessed with blues and rich deep color combinations of all sorts.

Hot Pink + Navy

Black + White

Orange + Navy

Green + Blue

Living Rooms

I found this recap of Carey’s best red carpet looks on Frugal Fashionista.  Nothing frugal about these looks, but oh how I love them.

Celeb Style

Right about now I am feeling pretty darn happy that I don’t celebrate winter holidays in any traditional sense.  A couple years ago I talked my family out of exchanging any sort of holiday presents and we’re all the happier for it (before you judge me a horrid person,  they all agreed pretty freakin’ readily).  We still all get together, have a nice time and eat a lot, which as far as I am concerned are the important parts of the holidays anyway.   Still, I love this “Dream Wish List” floating around on the internet. I especially love that it includes notes, typo corrections, and all from this woman’s boyfriend.  I can almost feel his incredulity as he assigns prices to the many items on her list.  For full snarky run down see HuffPo article.

Holiday, Seriously?

Please!  Do not wear those Uggs in public.  They’re fine for house-slippers but leave them at home.  Look at what Loeffler Randall just introduced – a shearling version of the Matilde boot.  I would love to  have these for the winter.  Santa?
