Seeing Olivia Wilde in Chuck Taylors Reminded Us of Our Recent Chuck Style Feature

Posted on June 26, 2016

Because we spotted Olivia Wilde in a pair of Chuck Taylors while wearing no-make up at an event in Kansas City, Missouri on Saturday, June 18, we’re bringing back our old post about the Converse sneaker trend! …and right after we featured the styles, a couple of months ago, they all sold out! Wow!!

I think I’ve already expressed that I am currently obsessed with Converse sneakers Chuck Taylor’s already.

And wouldn’t you know it, while searching for which pair I want to acquire, I discovered that there are a bunch of new styles that do not even look like the popular brand of Converse sneakers.

Like these bright yellow High Rise Boots from Finish Line. They literally look like the yellow brick road. I love them. And these studded Chuck Taylors would be awesome if I wanted to channel my inner rocker girl.

Feeling patriotic? Ready for Memorial Day or the Fourth of July are these Converse All Star Specialty Ox trainers. Fab!

But I think I would probably stick with the regular white in a wedge boot style to give me a little height. At 5 feet 3 inches, I can use all the boost I can get!

Check out these very different styles of Chuck Taylor’s. Which is your fave?

TREND: The High Waisted Bikini is great for Moms

Posted on April 16, 2015

Because I will be heading to a beach soon and am determined to get back in a bikini and not go the mom-bathing suit route with the skirt and swim top, I thought I’d research what offerings Shopstyle had and share. Here are some mom-friendly but still hot swimsuit options I came up with that could offer great coverage for those looking to conceal a not-so-perfect-anymore tummy and/or enhance breastfeeding deflated boobies.

This is an update to this past post from last summer featuring sexy bathing suit options for moms. In addition to high-waisted bikini bottoms, the monokini styles are great for covering and compressing extra “stuff” no one needs to see! ha!

What do you think? Which is your favorite?

One of the fall’s trends we’ve spottedthat will play big this fall is leopard. As we know, many woman do not feel comfortable wearing prints while pregnant over fear they may make them look even larger than they already all as they expand in belly girth. Good thing there are many ways to work the trend, specifically via accessories.

Here are examples of how to pull off he leopard trend while pregnant:

1. Belt – Wear it above the bump and below the breast bone

2. Jewelry – It can be subtle, but going bold makes more of a statement

3. Scarf – You don’t have to do brown leopard either, mix it up with colorful as well

4. SmartPhone Case – Show off your trend savvyness by carrying a leopard print coverd smart phone

Kourtney Kardashian rocking the denim overall trend

Posted on June 26, 2014

SPOTTED!!

KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN ROCKING THE OVERALL TREND-PREGNANCY STYLE

WE BLOGGED ABOUT THIS YEAR.

The shopkeeper and reality TV star of Keeping up with the Kardashian wore a pair of denim cut off overalls the same day she hosted her niece’s North’s first birthday party at her new home in Calabasas that was once owned by Justin Bieber. She made it funky by pairing them with gladiator sandals.

Several decades ago, pregnant women lived in overalls because there weren’t really many maternity options. But since then, more labels, brands and designers have branched out and have gotten into the market creating stylish, trendy and fashionable maternity clothes. It freed moms-to-be from restrictions and opened up many options for them.

And as luck would have it, overalls are back in fashion and are seen on A-listers and socialites nationwide. The new variety have more shape and form, but who cares about that. Finally, you can kick back and wear your overalls carefree and be in style at the same time. Its a win-win.

Would you rock overalls again? Whether you’re pregnant or not?
