Trendtotting: Colorful Jeans For Girls

LilSugar — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 07:31:09 PST

Brightly colored denim is popping up everywhere, from the streets to the runway - and in kids stores, too. There's a pair in just about every shade of the rainbow, which makes it the perfect style for Spring. Get your little girl in on the colorful jeans trend by shopping some of our favorite picks below.

For a simple, subtle take on the color movement, stick to softer shades and pair the jeans with a neutral top in black or white. Is she a risk-taking fashionista? Pick pants in a bold hue and encourage her to wear them with an equally vivid top - either in a similar shade for a monochromatic look or a bright contrasting hue to maximize the trend.

OnSugar Blog: Rules For the Stylish Mom

OnSugar Blog — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 00:15:33 PDT

This inspirational post comes to us from OnSugar blogger Glamom, who offers some helpful hints for staying stylish on her blog Manolos, Manicures & Moms.

Let's be honest, chasing a small one all day long leaves little room for fashion inspiration and makes you lean toward living in PJs on your days off. I get it, I understand, but hell, I don't condone it. Having a kid doesn't mean your life is over, gaining a bit of post baby weight (even if 4 years later) doesn't mean we abandon ourselves. Maybe it is easier for me to say since I deal with clothing and personal style day in and day out with my clients but I have mom friends who do not work in the industry and still manage to look their best. So when I go off to pick up a few groceries and see a few moms in sweatpants and scrunchies, I get a bit bothered. Here are a few tips and tricks to keep you looking like the chica you were pre-baby, just tweeked a bit here and there because if I see another sandal and sock wearing (and I don't mean Miu Miu with socks, I mean, gulp...Birkenstock), hair roots that look like they haven't been touched since 1995 (exaggeration is good for the soul, sue me), and overalls that make Old McDonald look like a style king, I will flip!

She convinced you, right? We all want your tips, Glamom! Find her top five fashion suggestions for mamas on Manolos, Manicures & Moms. Create your own OnSugar blog, and you too could be featured on the homepage of LilSugar.

Braced-Lets Set to Pick Up Where Silly Bandz Left Off

Rebecca M Gruber — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 08:21:11 PDT

Everything old is new again, and everything that was classically geeky is now tres chic. If your lil one's arms were loaded up with Silly Bandz last Summer, be prepared to do a double-take when your tot sports the latest jewelry fad. Made from real orthodontic materials, Braced-Lets ($5 each) are a combination of colored rubber bands for braces, metal brackets, and power chains. With bright color combinations and unique designs, tots are stacking the dental adornments up their arms with no end in sight.

The multicolored bangles are the brainchild of two orthodontists and one of their jewelry-designing sisters, Lisa Salzer of Lulu Frost, meaning the bracelets have a bit more fashion credence than last Summer's rubber-band fad. That also may be the reason many mamas are snatching up the arm adornment for themselves as well as their tots. Are you or your kids taking part in this Summer's hot trend?
