A couple of months ago when I wrote, Happiness 101: It’s Easier Than You Think, I had no idea it would touch people the way it did. I received so many wonderful comments about it that it literally brought tears to my eyes. To know I am helping others with The Mommy Stylist is truly… Read More
By Kristin Hull There’s a difference between getting dressed and dressing. The former is about simply covering the body while the latter is actually giving some thought to how you want to look. If that sounds like too much work, it’s not. In fact, it can all be accomplished with one word: accessorizing. The frame… Read More
By Kristin Hull The chambray/denim/blue jean shirt – whatever you call it, it’s infinitely cool, comfortable and versatile. They’re great on their own but can also be fantastic layering pieces.

By Kristin Hull In my world, there’s nothing much better than gift-giving. I happily shop all year long to find just the right thing for each person on my list, always making an effort to get something they want but won’t spend the money on (i.e. a splurge item or unnecessary/just for fun item). That’s… Read More

By Kristin Hull Recently, we’ve had several requests asking which wardrobe items a mom should splurge on. Fortunately, lower-cost items are looking pretty good and lasting surprisingly long these days so there really aren’t too many pieces that require an investment. But, the few that do are things we can’t live without because, simply put, they… Read More

By Kristin Hull Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend but they aren’t very helpful when you’ve got to run out the door at a moment’s notice. Maybe the carpool mom just called to say she’s sick and can’t take the kids to school. Perhaps you thought basketball tryouts were tomorrow, not today – in 15… Read More
By Kristin Hull We were going to do a Deal of the Day on our Facebook page but there were so many great items for sale at Loft we decided to do a full post instead. So, here goes!
By Kristin Hull When I first heard about OneClique shoes I was leery. Really, I can switch the tops and bottoms of my shoes to create my own styles? And save money by not having to buy dozens of shoes to have all the styles I want? And a portion of my purchase will go… Read More

Ankle boots are infinitely versatile There are many outfit options for ankle boots (which, by the way, are defined in all kinds… Read More
By Kristin Hull With the (choke! choke!) return of Birkenstocks to the fashion scene (yes, it’s true) I decided to seek out comfort shoes that also have some style. I have to admit I have seen a few outfits (including this one on Heidi Klum) that were somehow able to make Birkenstocks look cute. However,… Read More

It’s possible!” Check out this style inspiration from two foodie sisters, founders of The New Potato. Danielle and Laura Kosann’s blog combines their passion for good food… Read More
By Kristin Hull The backpack purse has returned and it’s definitely not your child’s backpack. What could be more helpful to a mom than having both hands free while out and about? Fortunately, this time around they’re more sophisticated and stylish than ever. Pick your signature style Whether you’re a sucker for snakeskin, leather, fringe… Read More
