Our Current Obsession: Jojo Maman Bebe

Those cute little thermal leggings Richie is wearing are from Jojo Maman Bebe, a U.K. based clothing company we fell in love with the moment we opened the first package. The fit was perfect, the fox on the tush was beyond adorable, and come on, baby thermals - amazing! I never had to worry about him being cold when we were outside and they easily fit under his clothing. Richie was just five months old in the photo above and since then, we have purchased a ton of different items from the all-weather, nautical inspired clothing brand.

From rain boots and winter hats to sweaters and jumpsuits, we have never been disappointed. Here are a few reasons we are obsessed:
​
The clothing is stylish and trendy
You'll see everything from Nautical designs, and classic blue gingham to dainty embroidery and smocking. You'll will also love it just as much as your children do. In my opinion there are a ton of brands out their making cheesy children's clothing and it doesn't need to be that way. You should be able to dress your child in fashionable items that are affordable and well-made. This brand offers just that.

The quality is outstanding
Even after many wears, I was able to save and store away all of the items I purchased for the next baby. Also, washing their clothes never comprises the fit. A huge bonus in my book.

The apparel is comfortable
Richie is always able to move around with ease and comfort. I'll admit was hesitant about the snow and rain boots but he was able to walk in them without an issue.

JoJo Maman Bebe has nearly 90 stores in the U.K. but the brand is making its way to the United States this Spring with two launches in Connecticut - Greenwich and Westport. However, like most Moms, we prefer to shop online. Not to freight, their clothing is true to size. We've experienced it firsthand.

The adorable rain boots, Richie is wearing in the photo to the left, come in so many great colors and they even have rain coats to match. 
Another one of my favorite things about that brand is that they have such festive and beautifully made clothing for Christmas. The sweater vest Richie wore to visit Santa, his Christmas morning pajamas and the adorable cashmere jumpsuit he wore for our family photo shoot were all purchased from JoJo Maman Bebe.

We couldn't wait to get Richie out into the snow in his new boots (pictured below) which are fleeced lined for extra warmth and super easy to get on. Next year, we'll get another pair and will likely get his winter coat from the brand as well.

On the site, you'll also find maternity clothing, nursery items and gear, as well as gifts and toys. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

We just received some gorgeous new Spring items from JoJo Maman Bebe which we will be sharing on our Instagram page so be on the look out for those.

​Happy Shopping, Mamas!

3 Layered Looks to Curate your Autumn Wardrobe

10/23/2017

This post is sponsored by Cuddl Duds and Kohl’s but my love to #liveinlayers is all my own.

There are so many things to love about fall - the beautiful colors of autumn leaves, the crisp smell of the air and the excitement of putting together new (warmer!) outfits. Our favorite way to curate our autumn wardrobe is L A Y E R I N G.  
​
Layering is about pairing together different types of clothing to create a warm but thrown together look that seems effortless but stylish. I'm pretty sure it all started in the mid-90's when the Olsen twins were throwing on mountains of bohemian fabrics, coats, and long scarves. A decade later and its still on the fashion agenda. Toss in the confusing up and down climates of fall and we're left wondering how anyone expects us to dress for weather that can run from 50 degrees in the morning to 70 by late afternoon. 
​
There is a secret formula that layering involves and we've complied three looks in partnership with Cuddl Duds to help navigate through the transition of seasons as well as some tips for layering this year's most coveted styles. A quick tip: You'll find that Cuddl Duds long cardigan and a  black turtleneck  are key, long-wearing purchases (both can be found at Kohl's). 

A roll neck turtleneck will work under almost anything.​
Key Buy: Cuddl Duds Turtleneck

Nothing is more versatile than a black turtleneck! Take this classic and pair it with a swear, leather jacket, and a heels for a chic weekend look. Toss on a pair of boots for a quick warm-up option.

A long cardigan will keep you toasty and on trend. 
Key Buy: Cuddl Duds Softknit Wrap

A long sweater is a great addition if you are looking for a warmer option on a night out. A  sweater dress paired with a cardigan and knee-high boots will keep you toasty as you are on-trend. Tie the whole look together with a belt for an emphasized waistline and a simple everyday style. Add in tights, leggings, or even jeans for colder temperatures.

Streamline your look with a roll neck sweater over a blouse.
Key Buy: Cuddl Duds Turtleneck

Sometimes layering for fall’s fluctuating temperatures can feel a little bulky. Streamline your look with an office ready neck sweater over a blouse, slim cut pants, a blazer and pumps to stay warm without layering up too much. 
You can find Cuddl Duds at Kohls. They have partnered to offer you $10 off when you spend $40 or more. 

5 Key Steps to a Layered Outfit


1.) Begin with a basic top. I, personally, love a striped shirt but something neutral or solid works too. 
2.) Add another layer. This is where that long cardigan comes into play.  
3.) Then a jacket or coat. 
4.) Next, add a scarf or hat.
5.) Lastly, put on your favorite accessories - bracelets, rings, watches, etc.
