Gift Guide 2018: For the wild fashionista

Truth is…after looking at this list, the name should be Gift Guide for the exotic mama. This is pretty much my personal Christmas list. Half of the things I already have ordered for myself and the other half is on my wish list. So, let me break it down a little bit for you….

1. Okay, I’m always shopping for cute things for Roman so we both can match and after I purchased my leopard coat, I wanted a cool leopard jacket for him too. I think this one is for girls, but my boy is totally able to rock any look.

2. I have fallen in love with the Kenneth Jay Lane Lion door knocker earrings. I mean if you have seen the cover of my book then you know these are very on brand for me.

3. How chic is this gold leopard bangle? I love this look for the wrist, makes a bold statement for any outfit.

4. This leopard faux fur coat by Kendall & Kylie is AMAZING. I got one and any woman should have one in their closet too. Pair it with an all black outfit and you will be looking so chic.

5. I can’t wait to pair this coat with a black tank and these Spanx leather liquid moto leggings. These are so chic. They go with everythihng.

6. Okay, so the other day I went shopping for a Winter perfume. As you know I am obsessed with smelling good. I decided to go with Diptyque Oud Palao. Oh my goodness it is so sexy. It has a masculine oud vibe which is spicy yet very soft. It is one of those fragrances that any woman can wear in the Winter to have people drawn to her, it has a very Hotel Costes vibe. I’m absolutely in love.

7. I want a crossbody bag because I have a diaper bag with me at all times, but I want something easy to carry while I am dealing with Roman. This beautiful black Gucci velvet crossbody is so cute. I love the gold details too. .

8. So I think on somedays that I don’t wear the coat these adorable leopard slides will look good with an all black look.

9. I just got this cool black little choker for myself. Can you guess what I customized it with?

10. Finally, I want to look chic at home too. You can’t forget leopard fuzzy house slippers.

Oh, and for the leopard lover in your life, THIS FASHION BOOK is a must buy. I’ll be grabbing a few for friends and perhaps myself too.

My go to everyday mom style essentials

Since becoming a mom, especially a boy mom, I have fully accepted that the athleisure look is unavoidable. I don’t get much time to get a workout in, so on an everyday basis, I like to be ready for quick little workouts here and there. Meet up with a mom friend for coffee and a walk at the park? Sure I’m in. It happens all the time.

One of Roman’s favorite places to fall asleep is the stroller, so I am always on the go. Plus, as a boy mom, sneakers and hats have become a little more my style. I’ve been a fan of Lululemon for years but as a girl with curves, I like things a little fitted and super supportive at the same time. So, I have branched out and tried some other things.

As a new mom, I have become Amazon obsessed. Literally, everything I buy is on Amazon these days. I like how easy it is to return and I love how things get here in two days or less, this is so incredibly helpful with Roman in my life. So, I have created a full shop to see what I am buying on Amazon. Check out my Luxe Leisure shop where you can grab these products that are currently my go to Mom life essentials. Who would have known Amazon would be a fashion destination but ladies, it really is. They have everything! What did moms do before Amazon Prime???

So this gorgeous black workout shirt has literally become my best friend for the cool weather for Fall. It’s so flattering, it feels amazing and sucks you in all the right places. I also love the thumb hole so it covers my palms as I am holding the stroller. This is a total win and I have a few now.

I do not go anywhere without my YETI cup, I have the black one but I am considering purchasing this pink one because I miss pink in my life. It keeps my iced coffee cold and my hot tea hot. So, it just works perfectly for me. It’s also covered so it doesn’t spill and trust me when I tell you, I have spilled so many drinks handling a newborn baby. This is a must have!

I am always on the go. Mom life keeps me busy. These all black sneakers can take you anywhere in any weather. They are completely spit up friendly, too.

If you follow me on Instagram then you know I wear this black Adidas hat daily. Bad hair days be gone!
