BlogHer’12 closed with a bang all thanks to the Nicole Feliciano of Momtrends, her team and the folks over at Lands’ End for a school-themed event at Land’s End University.

Back-to-school fashion, lunch recipes, hair techniques for mom/daughter and tips on how to flatter your body were areas that made this event a huge success. See what’s in trend this back-to-school season after the jump.  View Post

To kick off BlogHer ’12 (I’ll be there on Saturday!!!), Mom Trends hosted an event on Wednesday that only a mommy fashionista could love…bloggers got first dibs to preview the Holiday 2012 Children’s Place collection. From sequins, leggings, fur, animal print, monster hats, vests, denim and jewelry, this is one collection that you and your mini fashionista must run to.

The Children’s Place Designer, Michael Giannelli and his team spoke to us on how there will be more options for boys (yay, someone finally heard me!) and that the theme for this holiday is “snow days, picture perfect and travel”…so right on trend!  And of course what’s in store for 2013…drum roll please…neon for spring and intense color for the summer with bright neutrals.

The 2012 Holiday Collection will be in stores September 15…so act fast!  Happy Holidays!

A very special kudos to Nicole Feliciano, The Founder of Mom Trends and her team for organizing such a fab event, not only do I have the perfect holiday outfit picked out for my toddler, but I had the opportunity to meet and mingle with some of my favorite parent bloggers.

If you’ve been glued to your TV screen this weekend, as I have been, watching the 2012 Olympics you might have noticed somewhat of a trend….tributes to us moms.  Not only are moms actually competing in the Games – Christie Rampone — Soccer player & mom of two, Candace Parker — Basketball player, mom of one, Kristen Armstrong — Cycling, mom of one , Lashinda Demus — Track & field, mom of twins.  The US alone has sent over 13 moms overseas.  But the P&G commercial honors everything that all moms do to help their children succeed by showcasing the amazing moms behind Olympic athletes at the London 2012 Olympic Games. The hardest job in the world is truly the best job in the world.
