Love the outfit on Miss Fable.

I was rewatching some of the fantastic monthly Fable videos, and I have to say...I miss them. She is such a cutie pie.

Dry shampoo is an absolute lifesaver!
Your mom is darling. My mom also had polio as a child and almost died, and yes, YES, immunize your kids.

my personal style is a bit conflicted. i buy cute things, only to find myself digging for the more "practical" items in my closet to wear to the playground. when i do dazzle it up, i'm out of place, trying too hard. but usually, i'm go with my good ol' "california casual" look that i'm most comfy in, spitup or not. (read: striped shirt, worn jeans and vans)

My personal style is way outta my budget! If I could only shop in one place for my entire wardrobe it would be Anthropologie. Such a great mix of eclectic and classic. Tons of interesting details that I love. In actuality, my "uniform" is something like jeans, flats or boots, cardigans paired with interesting patterned tops underneath, scarves... and I LOVE fun headbands.

2009-12-09T11:09:39.898-08:00

I don't have much of a personal style right now as I haven't lost the baby weight yet. I dress for comfort at the moment.

2009-12-08T22:11:54.169-08:00

You're adorable. And your kids are adorable. And your mom and your sister and...wow, your whole family is freaking adorable. I think I kind of hate you now. Unless the adorableness (word? sure, why not) rubs off on everyone around you, in which case I want to be your new best friend.

My personal style? Is nonexistent. Like, I never ever ever look stylish or cute. I'm 23 and wear a size 4 and I dress in a combination of shapeless jeans, whatever cheap t-shirt I pull out of my closet, a hoodie if it's cold, and my faithful nikes. This never ever changes. I'm a photographer and I'd love to dress all artsy and cute but for some reason I never do. Even if I try to dress up for church or to go out it always looks like I just pulled an outfit off of a mannequin or something. I am a total failure at fashion and accessorizing. Sigh...

my style is simple, hip, a little classic, a little funky. in other words, i can't decide!

My personal style is a little lost at the moment. (would love the shoes though!)
I really just wanted to comment because my three-year-old son saw the picture of you and your sister from your brother's cell phone and said "That is the so beautiful photo i eeeeeeeever seen Mummy." Cute!

2009-12-08T19:47:53.512-08:00

I would describe my style as light-hearted but functional! In any given outfit I like to:

1. Act like I'm about to be photographed next to an Italian fountain eating ice cream with Gregory Peck.

2. Be able to take my pups for a long walk and not look like a homeless lady when I do it.

*Thanks for the tip about the dry shampoo! I just got bangs, and been having the same problem :/

It must sound sad to someone who seems to have such an established sense of style, but I don't feel I have a real, personal style--as far as clothing goes. We have moved several times since getting married, including living in Africa/Europe for 6 months and hiking the Appalachian Trial for 6 months (out of an almost-three-year-marriage), and I hate moving stuff around, so we tend to go through our clothing and purge. Plus, I lost 30 pounds on the trail (hello skinny jeans!), then gained it back (boooo), so...My personal style in life? Enjoy :) Be comfortable. And surprise people every once in awhile.

I admire your style SO MUCH. I haven't found mine since Nolan was born :( course, I haven't had the extra money to go out and find it...I am trying to fit into my sister's hand me downs right now, because all my old clothes still don't fit *wail*

But you? Look amazing, as always. And so does your mom, and Fable!

2009-12-08T19:01:24.251-08:00

First, I have to say again how great your mom looks with the hair. She is glowing! I read somewhere that as you age hair looks better lighter. I love the particular shade of silver hair she has, and I hope I end up with something as pretty when I go gray.

Also, thanks for the info about dry shampoo. I remember seeing a bottle my English step-father had, but it was a brand from the UK, and I never saw any available in stores here. I really could have used that when I had bangs like yours (I recently grew them out). But I can still use it because my hair gets oily at the roots but is rather prone to dryness so I don't like to wash it that often. When I had bangs, I would wash only the bangs at the sink, but that was a bit of a mess.

As for my style, I get experimental and like to have fun, but there are also days where I am more low-key and don't make as much of an effort. I usually feel a lot better when I am wearing something I have put some thought into, though.

I have a closet well stocked with basics, and I like to mix those in with things more expected or worn in a different way. I also love vintage things, and I have recently found the joy of having my pants properly hemmed. I think fit and silhouette are paramount in creating a look.

Hi there,

So I have been reading for months now and have loved every minute of it. :) I am posting today because I LOVE TOMS Shoes and hope I can be one of the lucky ones. :)

My personal style is comfy/classic. I am a 3rd grade teacher so I am on my feet most of the day. I need my clothes to fit comfortably and not have to worry about "showing too much." (Unlike some of my other teachers who are pushing 50 and showing WAY too much cleavage for their kiddos.)

I like to be cute but and comfy and I think that I manage to pull it off. I am also very low maintenance. Not usually found in makeup unless I am going out.

My personal style is holy-shit-I'm-on-my-second-pregnancy-in-18-months. But shoes always look good, even with a giant belly-shadow hanging over them.

2009-12-08T17:43:08.060-08:00

Short hair, no make-up plus thrift store vintage and anything that doesn't cost over $15 from big box stores. Add color (in shoes mostly, think yellow and purple flats) and clearance Target jewelry. Mostly dresses and skirts, even on lounging days. Also, one politically left-leaning pin on my person at all times.

2009-12-08T17:27:06.567-08:00

My current style is vegan, mommy-grad school, Brooklyn nerd. Now this might sound lame but really it is hot! I mean some days I throw on some boyfriend jeans, a sexy v-neck and some high top cons. While on other days I throw on a vintage 70s plaid jumper with cotton leggings and riding boots. All outfits are accompanied with a cardigan (usually vintage), a houndstooth scarf and of course the rockin' plastic frames. Unfortunately all of my outfits are covered by a woolen coat because it is freezing here in NY!

2009-12-08T15:27:54.902-08:00

I like to call my style mommy meets her former pop punk self, that means tshirts and jeans are the staple with a few nicer tops thrown in. Its pretty lame actually.

2009-12-08T14:00:15.159-08:00

My personal style is thrift store/granny chic! I wear lots of my gran's old stuff from the 50's mixed with 70's stuff from thrift stores. also whatever my super fashionable cousin Suzanne decides to throw my way!

2009-12-08T13:56:43.716-08:00

I have the same deal with my hair, I wash it once a week on Saturday and take the time to do a nice blowout, which lasts me all week, and I use dry shampoo rev it up during the week. I have hair very similar to yours - long, super crazy thick and brunette. I tend to keep my hair washing/dry shampoo deal on the low however, because people who don't have hair like mine don't get it. One time a classmate complemented me on my hair, and I was like "yeah, I haven't washed it in 5 days" and she was super grossed out :(
