keeping our furry friends warm

All of us dog lovers out there are often looking to find the latest and greatest for our furry children. Including ways to keep them warm during the colder months.  I was so excited when my brother and sister in law located in Maine reached to me with their idea of making dog coats.  And when he sent me one for my adorable King Charles Cavalier Bruin, I knew I had to share this line with you all.

Lord & Lady Dog Coats are custom made and are taken from 100% wool vintage Hudson Bay Blankets.  These coats have a bottom layer of faux Sherpa fleece (warm and cozy) and the Velcro straps on the sides make it very easy to put on and take off your pet.

Here are a few photos of my adorable Bruin in his new fancy Lord & Lady Coat.

Love that he is comfortable, warm, and...most importantly Stylish!  (doggy mama approved)

I hope you check out their page Lord & Lady Dog Coats on Etsy to see all the many styles and colors they can custom make for you!  Or better yet, a perfect gift for any dog lover friend!

As always...Happy Shopping!

Love, Stylish Mama

Stylish Mama's Fashion Picks for October 2014

You won't be surprised by the fact that I have been already complaining about the shorter days and colder nights. However I am one who does love switching up clothes in my closet...and there is always something desirable about warm and cozy options.  I am going to share with you a few picks I have and none of them are frumpy sweat pants or flannels that we are all tempted in wearing, lets face it ladies!  Here are some stylish picks for this fall:

How amazing is this June And Hudson Fall Maxi dress?  Love how comfortable it looks yet it still is very stylish. Every girl has to have a little animal print in their wardrobe no matter the season, right?

This is a great wrap style skirt that can be worn to the office with heels or can be paired with dressy heeled boots.  Its made by Top Shop.

Anyone else totally obsessed with vests? I love layering a vest with a great long sleeve blouse or shirt in the fall.  Its a great way to complete your look yet be functional as it keeps you warm.  I am in love with this Michael Kors Quilted Down Vest.

Here is a boot that I am severely in love with.  How cozy do they look?  The Fulton Boot by Micheal Kors is extremely attractive...hello gorgeous!!!  I need you in my life.

There are so many cute scarves at Nordstrom right now - This one grabbed my attention as it looks warm and a neutral color that would easily go with many looks.  Its pretty affordable too!  - B.P. Popcorn Stitch Infinity Scarf is only $24!

Happy Shopping!

Love, Stylish Mama

Product Review: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel

I have a nail polish love/hate relationship. Love how my nails look when they are painted.  I even have an entire board on Pinterest on beautiful nail designs and colors that I would love to try.  Hate having to wait for it to dry and hate how my nail polish starts chipping the next day of getting them done.  Hence the reason why you will almost never see me with my nails done.

My dream is to always have perfectly well manicured painted nails but that's a rare occasion.  I am blessed that my nails grow on their own and very quickly but for some reason nail polish doesn't stay on very long.  Trust me, I've done the whole 3 steps, 4 steps, etc.  Bottom coat, 2 coats of color, top coat, etc.  Nothing.  I was told recently that its because some nails are too oily or are too moist for nail polish to stay on so they start chipping quickly.

But then I found the best nail polish ever!!!!!!!!!  Did you read that? BEST NAIL POLISH EVER!!!

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel is hands down the best thing I've tried,  I've done the shellac and it works great but it damages your nail by leaving it weak.  This miracle gel acts just like shellac but without the light and it won't damage your nails.  Easy removal!  Sally Hansen states that the color will stay on for 14 days, that wasn't my experience but maybe if you are willing to do some touch up in between, it may work.

Below are images of my nails that I took as the week went on to show you all how long the nail polish really stayed on.  You can see that by Day 5, just one nail was badly chipped and the shine was gone.  Realistically, I guess I could have touched up that nail and redo the top coat on all my nails but by this time, I was tired of the color....lol

It was really quick to apply as well.  Two coats of nail polish color and one coat of the top coat.  Nails were dry in minutes! No waiting! Did I mention I hate waiting? Very inpatient when it comes for nails to dry.  I know, I have issues but what can I say, time is precious!!


Happy Nails!

Swarovski Rhody Blogger Event

We are very excited to share with you our experience at the Swarovski Headquarters here in Cranston, Rhode Island.  We were invited to take a peek at Swarovski's Fall Collection and introduce us to another side of Swarovski… Touchstone Crystal! More details below. 

We were like two girls in a candy store!!!  We loved everything and could envision us wearing a lot of pieces! Here are a few of our favorites and an inside view to their employee store.

Here we are trying out some bling bling for our  a stacked bracelet look - which we learned was called an "arm party".  We have no idea how we didn't buy these! It took a lot of will power. We weren't alone, we met some amazing local Rhode Island bloggers that we were able to interact with.  

Now, the highlight of our evening.  Swarovski now has a direct selling brand, Touchstone Crystals and here at Stylish Mama meets Organized Chica, we love it!! 

Best part was we were given a $250 gift certificate to go shopping in their fall/winter catalog! Who doesn't love free jewelry?! We have to tell you though, we had such a hard time picking how were going to spend our money.  It actually took us a couple of days to narrow down our list.  So many favorites and all so reasonably priced!  Yes, we said reasonably priced!!

Stay tuned to see what we chose and how you can purchase this exclusive jewelry line from Swarovski!

Love,
Stylish Mama meets Organized Chica - xox
