On The Go...

As a mom of a 19 month old toddler - I am the first to admit that it can be tough feeling glamorous at times when your biggest concern is focusing on - "did we pack the diaper bag", "how can I stop him from throwing a tantrum in public" or "please eat your food and stop throwing it at me..." :)

I don't necessarily think - gone are the days of my five inch heels, skinny jeans and cashmere sweaters either- but it's definitely harder to wear out when we're out with my son. So... If I'm not working or out on a date with my husband or at a function - it's hard not to gravitate towards comfy clothes.

I discovered a pair of capri pants a couple of months ago in my search to find the perfect running pants. I went to Nordstroms and the associate helping me swore by these pants... I was a little hesitant at first b/c 1) Never really heard of this brand 2) I'm a creature of habit and will go back to the same workout/on the go apparel. I gave it a shot though and let me tell you - I never looked back!

Zella is not only flattering for everyone - it is extremely comfortable! Who says you can't look and feel cute when your children are screaming at you at the grocery store :)


I swear by this brand and I promise you'll love it too! So much that I'm going to give one away....
If you post a comment (Something you love about being a mom or something you love about your own mom - my mother's day treat from me to you) or become one of my "followers" between now and May 15th - I will randomly pick a winner to try a pair of these live -in "capris"...

Happy Mother's Day to all my friends and family who are mothers! You are all beautiful and glamorous - and I promise, even more so after you try these capris :)

  2. The messes and whining don't seem to matter the minute one of my little boys gives me a big hug or cuddle. Being a mom is work, but very rewarding work! Great site- look forward to your future posts! :)

  4. Carissa, this is GREAT! You look cute and stylish every time I see you, even if there is a bit of sweet potatoe in your hair, or jelly on your sweater! :-)
