I have seen the Belly Bandit® products loitering around maternity departments ever since this clever brand launched in 2008. But, honestly, I did not pay much attention because pregnancy was far in my wake. It was serendipity that I stopped by their booth at Curve and found an old colleague and neighbor of mine representing the company. Out of respect for her expertise in the maternity business, … Read More

I’ve always been a skeptic when it comes to the bralette trend. Lots of bralettes have been developed over the years that were aimed at the full bust market, but few made good on their big marketing promises. Until last year, I was fairly sure that some people (like myself) were going to find themselves left out of the bralette trend completely – and I was okay … Read More

By the time July and August rolls around, you start weighing how important your errand or friend is … Read More

The first time I ever dealt with serious night sweats was after the birth of my second child. Waking up one night in a pool of water, I found the only relief was to wear a full length terry robe to sleep. I was pretty taken aback by the experience having never before encountered the problem. I was only 35 and I thought that this hormonal shift … Read More

Patrick Nagel famously immortalized the 80’s woman as powerful and provocative in his paintings. He created works of unapologetic, fierce women through bold expressions, forward fashion (however little) and punches of neon. I love the way I see his vision translating to swimwear this season. Brazilian bikinis and shield shades are flooding the gram in bright colors and the energy is through the roof! Without a doubt, … Read More
