DIY Slogan Sweater

Being comfortable and chic is a style combination that I've always loved and find convenient now that I have a LO. Say hello to my new season staples-- slogan t-shirts and sweaters. With my newly inherited preparation time and the autumn chill-they are perfect solutions. They allow me to be stylish and snug with just a few pieces. You can rock these pieces with a pair of heels or sneakers. Check out this DIY slogan sweater project here. Let's face it, not everyone can splurge out on Phillip Lim but with just a few steps- nothing will be left unsaid this season.

Project Runway host, Heidi Klum, celebrated the first birthday of her children's line, "Truly Scrumptious" for Babies "R" Us, this past Saturday, October 5. She held a fashion show as part of Kids Fashion Week presented by Petite Parade and Vogue Bambini at Industria Studios in New York City. The mom of four was joined by the cutest mini fashionistas as they showcased her colorful and fun-filled holiday collection. With a runway full of lollipops and balloons, the kids unveiled many comfortable-easy to clean yet fashionable fits. First to hit the runway were tuxedo pajamas for boys that immediately left the crowd in awe. Her children also played a vital role in the collection by lending some of their personal style during production. I myself have already purchased some affordable pieces from the line for my LO, such as a pair of colorful pants, suspenders, a striped collared top with interchangeable bow ties and the cutest cardigan. If I had to choose one word to describe the line it would have to be FUN!

“So happy & proud of our 1st #TrulyScrumptious fashion show! Thanks @BabiesRUs & @_petitePARADE for making it happen!” Heidi tweeted.

The collection boasts everything from red leopard coats and fleece jackets with hoods and capes, to printed leggings, adorable monster bow ties and snug hats, many of the items feature holiday-esque characters and colors. The collection is available exclusively at Babies“R”Us stores nationwide and at Babiesrus.com/HeidiKlum.

I have been going "gaga" over the floral print trench coat Miroslava Duma wore this past week, at Valentino's Spring 2014 fashion show in Paris. The once editor for Harper's Bazaar, and now freelance writer has always been an internet style star whom I have always admired. This feminine and unconventional trench spoke volumes to me when I saw it, followed by the thought that I could never afford it o_O. But I was so intrigued, that I knew I had to find an affordable version! Not only is it chic for any woman, but it is staple piece that can add glam to any new mom's fit. Pair these trench coats with twill pants and pumps, or over a plain white tee, jeans and ballet flats for a quick yet glamorous look. Here are 5 affordable coats that will leave the term "frumpy mom" in its trenches.
