Bubbles is very into “fashion”.  She loves going shopping with me to help pick out her own clothes, and she will frequently return from her room wearing something completely different than what she wore going in.

So she was very excited when we were offered the opportunity to review a kidpik subscription box.  The kidpik subscription boxes are filled with 5-7 girls fashion items that are sent directly to your door.  You might receive shoes, accessories, pants, shorts, tops, dresses, jeans or more.

While my daily ‘uniform’ these days mostly consists of jeans and a t-shirt, I do still love fashion.  When I worked in a corporate office, I loved picking out suits and cute shoes, and finding the perfect accessories.

Whether you’re buying for a true fashionista or “fashionista lite” like myself, I’m sure there’s a gift below that they would love to have!  Some of the products below were provided and the post may include affiliate links.

Nail polish is one of my favorite accessories.  It’s the most inexpensive way I know to change up my look and stay on trend each season.  The Revel in Luxury collection from Duri Cosmetics has pretty new shades for winter.  Some of my favorites include Posh, Oh My Stars, and Paint the Town.

This techie mom has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. All drooling over the bag is my own.

While I don’t consider myself a real fashionista (maybe when my days include less crawling under bushes for lost golf balls or baseballs and more afternoon massages?) I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for shoes and bags (well, and earrings).  And while my bags (and shoes) are more function than flair these days, I do like them to be at least somewhat stylish.

Function & Fashion for the Techie Mom - Modal Concept Tote Bag

As a blogger and all-around techie mom, when I leave the house my devices usually leave with me.  My phone and a car charger are the bare minimum and depending on where I’m headed I may even have my laptop with me.  But I still need space for juice boxes, coloring books, and fruit snacks, too.

I participated in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Kohl’s. I received a gift card as a thank you for participating.

Spring is officially in the air, and I’m getting very excited.  It’s time to start thinking about wearing dresses, skirts, flip-flops, and short-sleeved shirts, to name a few.  All in some of the shades that make spring so light and airy – like pink, which is definitely in this year.

Bubbles and I were in Kohl’s today checking out some of the new looks for the season.  I had watched the Kohl’s Spring Fashion Hangout and I absolutely fell in love with some of the pieces they showcased.  One of the things I love about Kohl’s is how they transition runway looks into something wearable, and at prices that are significantly more affordable.

One of my favorite is the fun and flirty pink dress with white flowers above.  I can see wearing it so many places!  Especially since we have Ashley’s graduation, then Austin’s graduation, and parties for both.  I think I’m going to need to pick up a few different ones! Continue reading »

This post on shopping for cocktail dresses is sponsored by DressFirst.  All words and opinions are my own.

I can’t believe that our trip to walk the red carpet is only a few days away.  From the moment I was invited I have been checking out websites for cocktail dresses at least once per day.  They’re not exactly something I have a lot of in my closet; when you’ve been working from home for the last 5 years, your wardrobe tends to have more jeans than sparkles.

One of the sites that I ran across is DressFirst.  I was looking for a large selection of black, red (for Thor), and green (for Loki) cocktail dresses, and DressFirst didn’t disappoint in that area.  Here are a few of my favorites.
