Style In Harmony

*Disclosure: TMC receives compensation from affiliate links. Opinions are 100% my own. This week I am proud to welcome Tamara from 'Style in Harmony' to the TMC Blogger Love Interview Series.  1. Your blog, Style in Harmony, focuses on affordable, “every day girl” style. What does that mean to you? I’m from the suburbs and my days are filled with pretty regular activities such as work, running errands, spending time with family and friends, etc. I try to focus on sharing wearable content for “every day” life (with the exception of outfits for specific events). Many fashion bloggers feature expensive clothing and accessories that are just not realistic for most girls. I want to show my readers that you can be stylish and look fabulous with affordable fashion! I’m a sucker for a … [Read more...]

Talking with Very Busy Mama

Today I would like to introduce to María José from Very Busy Mama.  She's an IRL friend and bilingual blogger, spokesperson and actress with a killer sense of style and humor.  To say she is authentic or real doesn't do her justice.  Her videos are informative, funny and honest.  Once you read her you won't be able to stop.  She's the newest person in TMC's interview series. 1. Your blog, Very Busy Mama, focuses on motherhood, fashion, beauty, and family all with a dose of humor.  Is there one section that you wish you could focus on more?  Videos! With videos I can show more of my personality and I truly enjoy the creative process. On the flip side, it helps with my acting as I'm starting to write a web-series.  2.  What is the hardest part for you when it comes to keeping up … [Read more...]

While she says her blog is all about fashion, fitness and fulfillment for the 40 and over set she shows that these are parts of our life we crave and want to update or maintain at any age. Her site is a calm and entertaining refuge in a sea of blogs that can sometimes overwhelm. 1. You blog about fashion and fitness on a regular basis. What do you find most fun and fulfilling? Are they one in the same topic? Fashion and fitness are two aspects of life that I derive great joy and satisfaction from. I believe both pursuits add to my life and boost my confidence.

A Few Favorite Fashion Bloggers

Each week I dispense fashion, beauty and fitness advice over at Social Moms. I realized last week as I was going over ideas for my column that I have never written about fashion bloggers. Trends, colors, ways to wear particular pieces or best bronzer for summer have been done. What better way to celebrate and highlight some of my favorite reads each week? Create a piece about them beyond my own blog.   Fashion Blogger by victoriamason featuring ASOS From Maria Jose to Jo-Lynne and a few others in between here are just a few of my favorite fashion bloggers who almost everyone can relate to, learn from and love. Read on!   My head is always in the fashion game. When I’m not working on my own weekly posts and link ups I’m looking to a handful of bloggers for … [Read more...]

Manageable Monday

"sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day whispering 'I will try again tomorrow'." -Winston Churchill This morning I poured water into my coffee instead of cream. Then I stuck my toast in the toaster and never turned it on. I drove the Third Element to preschool and received an email that the school didn't have power today. As the sun shone brightly overhead promising our first 80 degree day I decided to just lower my expectations and drove us home. Today, it is only about making things manageable because clearly soaring new heights will have to wait until tomorrow and this is just fine. That being said I couldn't resist highlighting a great look from last week's link-up, Whatcha Wearing Wednesday. Chanelle from The Kim Chronicles showed off "High/Low: The Bee Knees" … [Read more...]

A Scarf Across the Pond: Swap it – Wear it!

  Blogging can create some weird moments.  It creates real friendships that span the globe, business opportunities and some funny fashionable moments, like this scarf.  A scarf that went across the pond for swap it and wear it. See it peeking out underneath the rubber gloves? I received this ridiculously pretty and fun Christmas box from a blogging Secret Santa group I joined last year.  Turns out my Secret Santa was an actual friend and she sent this beautiful scarf from California with some other fabulous items.  It was such a joy and surprise to open up the box. Then, a new blog friend Angele The European Malteser in Germany asked if I wanted to swap and style an item together.  Absolutely!  I immediately styled the scarf my favorite way and sent it off to Angele for … [Read more...]

Shades of Blue

We had some beautiful weather this weekend that made everything we did feel even more special. I felt the need to bring out some denim on denim and mix and match things up. Perfect layers for the windy moments and for co-hosting with Lauren at Fizz and Frosting! And we got out to support our oldest, TD with her first ever lacrosse game. It was so much fun to watch her play after doing many months of clinics and practice. Here's to a great week!
