jeans | and | a | T

Do you think a personal stylist is a luxury or reserved for those with huge budgets? Think again! 

Affordable Orange County personal stylist, Jen, of  jeans | and | a | T makes personal styling accessible to moms like us who want to feel cute and confident in our every day lives – without breaking the bank. In fact, Jen can take you shopping right in your own closet and put together outfits you didn’t even know you had!

Jen believes style should be available to all budgets, sizes and needs. “I really want women (whether a full time working mama or a stay at home mom), to feel confident in what they wear every day.”

Whether you need to rock an outfit for the carpool, office or date night, she’ll help you put together outfits to put a little extra spring in your step and sparkle in your eye.

Susanne and I recently got to experience a personal styling session with Jen to do a closet detox and styling session. Here is how it all went down…

Ready, set – dress! The Wardrobe Code

Last Thanksgiving weekend, we shipped the kids off to stay with their grandparents for two nights and my husband and I did a major garage clean out and I worked on cleaning up my office. I filled 8 trash bags with JUNK that was cluttering up my office, and since that project I have been in a major “purge and organize” mode.

One of my 2012 goals was to tackle my closet. For some reason, this is the hardest project for me as I tend to hold on to things for “maybe someday I will wear it” reasons. I don’t know about you, but in the last 6 years and 2 pregnancies, my wardrobe has been through the wringer as I have been about a gazillion different sizes, which makes it so hard!!

So when I met Nicole Longstreath of www.TheWardrobeCode.com and learned more about her services, I thought it would be an awesome blog feature as I am sure I am not the only mom needing help in this arena!

Tea Collection Fashions + Giveaway

I first was introduced to Tea Collection clothing a couple years ago when my girlfriend gave us a darling little wrap dress that was a hand-me-down from her daughter.

It quickly became one of our staple pieces and my daughter wore it ALL of the time. I was very impressed with how well it held up wear after wear which is definitely the sign of a quality clothing company. You you have a high-quality piece when a hand-me-down still looks great after going through two kids!

So recently when a representative contacted me from Tea Collection about a review and giveaway I very enthusiastically accepted because:

#1. I already know and LOVE this brand
#2. I am thrilled to get to offer one of my readers a $100 gift certificate to shop!

Eli’s Lids Giveaway!

Eli’s Lids was started by a local OC mom, Kara-Noel, after she found out she was expecting her first little boy in 2006. After doing some shopping for “boy stuff” she quickly discovered that often baby boys get the short end of the stick when it comes to fashion and style.

Soon after she began developing her line, starting at the top with Lids. After multiple prototypes she came up with Lids for today’s hip baby. Whether your son (or daughter!) is a surfer, skater, snowboarder or just plain rocks, she has created a Lid that will reflect your family’s style without looking too “baby!”
