Kick Start the New Year With Fabulous Fashion

Whew! The holidays are over and I finally took down the tree and put away all the Christmas decorations. Apparently I was a week (or two) too late, however, because my tree is still sitting curbside. This morning when I took the kiddies to preschool I noticed someone had "decorated" it with caution tape and empty soda cans. Guess I'll end up paying that pesky $25 service fee for missing the annual tree pickup. Again. Oh well…

I guess that's what a brand new year is for – a chance for a clean slate and a fresh start. And what better way to kick off the new year than with setting some serious priorities:

What Mommies Want/Need/Can't Live Without:

• Vibrant day dress. This richly hued colorblock dress is sleek enough to wear to the office, yet chic enough for a night on the town. Comfortable yet very chic—especially when paired with funky peep toe platforms.
• Great casual skirt. The perfect alternative to shorts this summer (my upper thighs are not yet ready for public viewing.)
• Fantastic body beauty discovery! The Bootcamp series from Mama Mio. By setting aside just four minutes a day, these exercises work with Mama Mio’s best products to give you the perfect boobs, tummy and butt for the New Year.
• Fun knit tunic. Looks fabulous with jeggings and fun wedges. Empire styling is great for post-baby figure!
• Pomegranate Rosemary Treatment Oil, by WEN Hair and Body Care, which contains pomegranate oil - rich in antioxidants and hydrating properties for the hair and skin, as well a rosemary leaf oil to stimulate hair growth and help fight scalp problems. I love the way it makes my hair silky smooth and glistening with vitality. Perfect for abusy mom.
• A great pair of chic yet sporty sneaks. All mommies need to be able to chase around after those little ones so you may as well be comfortable and stylish at the same time!
• Fun handbag. Admit it, there is no such thing as too many handbags!
• The perfect pair of jeans.

Really Fabulous Finds to Make Life Easier for Mommy:

• The ultimate diaper bag. Girls, this bag is sheer perfection. Chic, stylish and loaded with extras: side pockets for bottles, handy storage compartments, bottle holder and changing mat. The bag has an outside zip for easy access without having to delve into the bag. The shoulder strap is padded for extra comfort. Perfect as a baby shower gift.
• Darling baby sneaks. Your little one will love wearing these adorable little suede and leather sneakers! So stylish and practical too, with the Comfort Fibre lining to keep little feet cool and dry.
• The ultimate high chair. I adore the Koala High Chair! It's seamless construction means no pinching for baby and easy cleanup for mommy. It fits easily under the table so baby can eat with the family (you can also purchase a slide-on tray).
• Baby Bathtime bundle. A starter set that contains a healthy collection of bath-time essentials.What it does:Everything you need to cleanse, hydrate and protect sensitive skin without the use of harsh chemicals. The HealthyBaby Wash, The Healthy Baby Lotion and The Healthy Baby Bottom are 100% natural and contain 30 essential vitamins and minerals that support the health & development of delicate baby skin. It's all packaged in a phthalate/pvc free reusable bag.

Well dear friends, it's tubby time so I must dash! Happy mommy shopping!

Chic Tweak

With winter in full force, scarves are the go-to accessory for fashion forward women regardless of their climate. Long known as the “it” accessory, scarfs offer functionality, versatility, and style. This winter, let Chic Tweak help you re-think the way you wear your go-to accessory!

Being indoors doesn’t always assure warmth. Wear your scarf as a wrap when you're seated by the door at the hottest new restaurant, or when the heating system at your office isn’t quite doing the trick on those extra chilly winter days. The modern-loop is a fresh take on a classic look. Fashionable no matter how it’s worn, the loop allows you to don your scarf loose and flowing for a layering effect, or tighter for a polished look that provides optimal warmth when the mercury dips.

About Chic Tweak:

Chic Tweak is a recently launched one-stop-shop for the latest trends in scarves and accessories. Created to be an aggregate of the very best scarves available in the marketplace, Chic Tweak offers a range of prices and variety for today’s fashion forward women. Bindya Lulla, the driving force behind Chic Tweak, brings over ten years experience in the scarf and accessory industry. With two thriving lines; Bindya NY and Lulla by Bindya, Lulla sought to bring her passion and knowledge online to create the ultimate e-commerce experience where you can go to “tweak your style.” In addition to Lulla’s namesake collections, Chic Tweak also carries favorites such as Chan Luu, Love Quotes, Theodora & Callum and Tilo.
