Carly from Thirty Something Fashion

I'm so happy to feature a really wonderful fashion blogger and small business owner of a personal styling and box service, Carly, from Thirty Something Fashion (TSF)! Don't know Carly?  Well, let's meet her! 1. You have been a stylist for many years. How has it changed since you first started out? My first retail job in the formal wear department of Bloomingdales had me styling women for really amazing moments in their life like weddings and galas.  I adored the fantasy of it all….limitless budgets and over the top dresses with beads, sequins and trains.  Ahhhh!!!! As much as I loved that job, when I moved on to boutique management things were so much more fulfilling.  I saw clients over and over again…some of them would make weekly stops.  It was relationships and … [Read more...]

Spring Trends, Packing & Mom 2.0 Summit

Months ago I mentioned that things were brewing for me and I was excited about what 2014 would bring. I'm pleased to announce that for the past month I've been blogging for my favorite blogging conference, the Mom 2.0 Summit. By far one of the best conferences I have ever attended in my blogging career, Mom 2.0 is in Atlanta this year and with it comes a fabulous Garden Party at the Estate and sponsored by Dove. While not a fashion blogging conference like LuckyFABB, Mom 2.0 attendees bring it when it comes to dressing each day. I'm so honored, pleased and just plain old excited to be writing for this fantastic event that begins this Thursday!! Here's a little bit of what I've been doing! … [Read more...]

Pink & Blush for Spring

Without even realizing I wore a whole lot of pink in the last week. The girls were gone to their grandparents for a few spring break days giving H and I our own mini-break, which we desperately needed. I couldn't remember the last time we had a cohesive conversation or just left the house at a moment's notice. When I found myself sitting on the couch reading Elle magazine drinking coffee at 11 a.m. during the middle of the week with old episodes of American Horror Story playing in the background of an otherwise silent house, I felt my whole body relax. I wore a lot of cute stuff too. I was just too busy focusing on the fun at hand to take any pictures of it. The next morning as I looked at my clothes in piles on the floor I would think, "OH! I should have photographed that!" Eh. There … [Read more...]

Converse Two Ways

Let's face it. I run around a lot with my kids. I work in the wee hours of the morning and then for a few hours before they leave for school I'm in full Mom-mode. I work a few more hours and then it is back into that mode by mid-afternoon. As much as I love a life beyond flats and low-heeled shoes it just doesn't happen all that often. I love how Lindsey from The Pleated Poppy always shows off her white low-top converse kicks. I might have to finally pick up a pair for the summer which I'm determined will be more laid back fun than me asking for time to work as the kids do "busy" activities. The days of the girls being small and wanting to be around me and H are fleeting. I should soak them up with as much summer sun, long days and time by the water as much as I possibly can. So bring … [Read more...]

Navy Blazer Two Ways

The Navy Blazer. It is one of those timeless pieces that every woman's closet needs. This Spring I decided to add one that wasn't wintry, like my velvet thrift store find, to one that was good for all year round. In just one week I have worn my navy blazer two ways. The possibilities are endless. These looks are just the beginning. … [Read more...]
