A fashion show with a focus

My friend invited me to a fashion show at the Four Seasons in Boston this past weekend and it was fun.  Lots of jewelry, clothes and fashionable people!

I did not realize it was a benefit and fundraiser for this great organization called Ovations for the cure of ovarian cancer. https://www.ovationsforthecure.org

Please do go to the web site to see how this organization got started from the courage of one woman…

The fashion show featured Stuart Weitzman’s fall 2010 line as well as designs from Michael De Paulo Couture’s new spring 2011 line.

We loved the jewelry by Catalina Delatorre and especially the way it was presented. Check out the photos….Simply a work of art!

MNO baby!

Trendymommies headed out for their first official girls night out (well, overnight stay) to Gloucester Mass and it was a blast. The City of Gloucester is beautiful and there are many fun things to do.  So if you are looking for a mom’s getaway or a trip to the beach with the kids head up to Gloucester, Mass. 

Our accommodations were wonderful. The Atlantis Oceanfront Inn was amazing. https://www.atlantisoceanfrontinn.com

Each room has an ocean view. As you lie in your bed you can hear and see the ocean waves. There is an oceanfront breakfast cafe which I hear is fabulous. I will try next time I visit (as we slept in late……what? There were no kids to wake us up!) One of my favorite beaches – Good Harbor – is a 1/4 mile away. There were great places to eat, museums to visit and nightlife.

Our trip this time was focused on shopping.  We took a trip down Main Street and were in and out of some interesting and unique stores.

  • Bananas was full of fun including rows of eclectic clothing, shoes and jewelry. Vintage finds were everywhere! Rachel Zoe would have fun in this store (it is BA-Nan AS)
  • GreenLife has great organic finds for mom and baby.
  • The Black Swan has trinkets and jewelry and we discovered fantastic extra large fortune cookies covered in chocolate.
  • Menage Galllery had beautiful handmade furniture and unique gifts  https://www.menagegallery.com
  • Pisces is also a great gift shop.  They have fun glassware, treats and some clothing

So gals, next time you are planning a get-a-way for the girls head up to Gloucester, Mass for food, fun, shopping, great scenery and a peaceful atmosphere!

Lunch, Lunch, Lunch

In my search for the perfect back to school lunch bag I wanted to make sure the ones I give my kids are PVC free. Of course I love LLBean back packs and according to their web site their lunch boxes are tested for no lead, phthalates or PVCs. They have every color imaginable!  https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/844?nav=gnrost

I just discovered the fuel line of products for the kids! Designed well and in matching colors….just perfect! Plus they are affordable! Tested the insulated lunch bag, the dry snack container and stainless steel water bottle and my kids loved them. Check out their other products too as they come in four fun colors. All are lead free, no PVC and no Bisphenol-A! I love how the snack container has a clip for easy backpack access and the foldable cutlery set is a perfect fit for lunch boxes.

Fall Fashion

Still wearing my flip flops and summer clothes but the weather in New England had a fall feel so now I am figuring out what I have that is “in” this season.  I do have to say I must have been ahead of the curve as I have some of these items that I can add to my already existing wardrobe!

Here are top fall trends:

  • Military – think twill jacket, green cargo pants and you’re good to go. Just don’t wear them together!  Jcrew has a military jacket on sale now, hurry hurry…..
  • Camel – belted winter coat – check; short camel skirt? check!
  • Gray accessories – dare I say Gray is the new black? From shoes to bags anything goes. Love the Alex tote from Banana Republic: https://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=45436&vid=1&pid=772597&scid=772597022
  • Velvet – I am sure most gals has some velvet in their closet from a previous year (or from many, many years ago) Velvet pants or dress too much for you? Try an accessory. Top Shop has a cute velvet ring and some velvet leggings that are so cute.  http://us.topshop.com
