Back to School Fashion

Styling six kids for a productive, confident, comfortable day at school was a fun challenge. It also made me thankful I don’t have six kids…

Whether you’re dressing little ones for the school year or not, getting a peak into back-to-school fashions is a great way to see what’s around the bend for fashion trends. And, well it’s just fun to see these professionals strut their stuff!

Be sure to check out even MORE fun tomorrow at West Town Mall. We’re having the annual Back to School Bash complete with prizes, a CANDY BUFFET and a fashion show featuring THE greatest emcee you ever did encounter – so humble too ;)

Be the CEO of Cute this year!

I’m ready for the bugs to die. Beyond wanting to wear boots and jackets, I’m just excited not to itch somewhere (#CanIGetAnAmen)

But since everything’s on sale right now, I love to use this time of year to showcase ways to shop the summer sales while also prepping for the season ahead and (hold your ears kids) school starting back up.

To add some major cutie to this whole subject I had five models join me on the show this week to strut their stuff in GAP kids (and adult) clothes! This is also a sneak peak into the West Town Mall grand opening celebration that will be taking place Saturday, July 21st. You can read all about it here and can come take part in the festivities that day between 12 and 5!

Special thanks to…

Ainsley Bettis, Tyler Sharp, Bella Savas, Braylan Perry, Sophie McCart (and their moms!) for getting up early (in the summer, no less!) to join me for this segment :)

Fashion Show Fun

This week I dipped my toe in the world of Intagram stories. Only because I don’t want my children to walk up to me one day and spout off a string of social media actions that I’m dumbfounded by.

Don’t confuse me for someone who likes change, I’m just keeping it fresh.

I’ve got an exciting weekend coming up – and you can have one too!

Saturday, August 13th I’ll be at West Town Mall emceeing a Back to School fashion show that will take place at noon.

The whole event is called a “Bash and Dash” because it includes a 5k in the morning. I’ll be emceeing the show (taking place in the amphitheater outside JCP) and handing out prizes so it will be a fun day!

If you like kids, puppies, rainbows, laughing, smiling, clothes, me and America, then the event is for you because 6 out of 8 of those things will be there.

Seriously though, children will be walking the runway wearing the latest trends for fall. What part of that sentence do you want to say no to? The children? Seeing what’s on trend? That’s what I thought.

Come on out to the ampitheater right outside of JCPenney at noon, give us 45 minutes and we’ll dazzle you with cuteness!

See you then!

I’ve already decided when Jackson goes to school, I’m going to bypass being sad entirely with the fact that I’ll get to buy SCHOOL SUPPLIES!!!

Gah! I can’t wait. But it will get here soon enough. For now I’ll just buy them for fun and use this time of year as an excuse to spiff up my wardrobe.

As mentioned in a previous post, The Limited is offering some new stuff/discounts. The Limited in West Town Mall is now The Limited Back Room. Ooo!

We all know the “back room” is a magical place because it’s where all the good stuff is kept, i.e.: “I don’t know, let me check the BACK ROOM.” Or, “It looks like we did have your size in the BACK ROOM.” How about, “We’ve got some candy in the BAC…ok that’s not right…

Watch my segment from this week to see all the beautiful outfits that can really be mixed and matched with each other, creating an uber chic, uber spiffy wardrobe!
