About Mommy Fashionality

Ericka, mommy of Jaylah (7) and Joslyn (4), Wife, Blogger, Fashion Marketing Teacher, Marketing Consultant, Entrepreneur (Pulchritude Boutique...coming soon!) I want to share my passion with mother's everywhere who love fashion, style, and beauty. Just because you're a mom doesn't mean you have to look like one! ;-) "I want to show as many women as I can reach, not only how to be beautiful, but how to stay beautiful." (Mrs. Estee Lauder)

Versace for H&M

The time is almost here for the arrival of the Very Best of Versace for H&M!!! (If you haven’t heard about it, no worries. We know life as a mom can be very hectic. That’s what we’re here for.) Only a select number of stores worldwide will carry the collection. Fortunate for us in the DC metro area, the F Street store is one of the chosen few! The collection will be available in DC on Saturday, November 19. Word to the wise, after seeing what happened with Missoni for Target, you definitely want to arrive EARLY if you plan to shop this collection. And while we’re typically all about finding a great sale, we recognize that some of these items might be a bit of a splurge! And we’re okay with that. After all….this is VERSACE!!! :-)

Here are just a few of our favorite (mommy-friendly) pieces. Happy Shopping!

RIP Evelyn Lauder

Today we would like to take a moment to celebrate and honor the life of Evelyn Lauder, creator of the pink ribbon campaign for breast cancer awareness, and daughter-in-law of Estee Lauder. The pink ribbon campaign has brought a tremendous amount of awareness about breast cancer and raised millions of dollars for research. Evelyn Lauder was a pioneer who contributed to the fight against this disease.  She died on Saturday at her home in New York of nongenetic ovarian cancer. She was 75 years old.

Mommies, always make time for your mammograms, self-exams, and wellness checks.

 ”Love the ta-tas”! :-)

WE’RE BACK!!!!!! Happy Veteran’s Day mommies! We thought 11.11.11 was the perfect day to pick up where we left off!

In honor of Veteran’s Day here are some military inspired looks we love! There’s nothing like a fabulous military-style jacket. An easy way to get an instantly cool look. You can find this style of jacket/coat just about everywhere, from Nordstrom to H & M (and everywhere in between). :-)

Yet ANOTHER reason why we love H & M: the Fashion Against AIDS campaign!

We absolutely LOVE fashion that gives back! Support H & M’s 4th Fashion Against AIDS campaign. 25% of the sale price of each item in the collection will go to HIV/AIDS prevention among youth all over the world, through organizations such as MTV Staying Alive Foundation, Youth AIDS, and the United Nations Population Fund.

Go get your merchandise! And because it’s H & M, all of it’s sold at great prices! Happy Shopping!!!

It’s no secret that Lucky Magazine is my favorite fashion mag! I think the fact that it’s all about shopping and I love to shop makes it the perfect magazine for me. And to further solidify my unwavering love, I opened the April issue only to discover an issue of Lucky Kids! YES! *fistpump*

Like its counterpart, Lucky Kids is filled with pages of THEEEEEE cutest clothes for the kiddos. They even do a great job of providing cute, trendy options for little boys, as we all know that it’s relatively easy to find fabulous clothes for girls. Boys…..not so much! Love it!!! If you don’t have a copy, get one!!! :-)

Stay Chic….love, Chic PR!

(l to r) Morgan, Kristin, Ericka

This week I had the pleasure of having the owners of Chic Public Relations, a boutique PR firm based out of Annapolis, Maryland, come speak to my fashion marketing classes. Initially hearing about this dynamic duo from one of my students, I was thrilled to have the ladies come talk about marketing and public relations and give my students a real world perspective of the industry. And they did not disappoint! They gave a great presentation about things such as brand launching, brand awareness, event planning, and social media.

Although most of the entrepreneurs we write about are moms, I was so impressed with the Chic PR team that I had to make an exception! If you are ever in need of a PR team, need help planning a special event or product launch, or need assistance  managing social media for your business, I strongly encourage you to call Chic PR! They even do graphic design so if you need a logo or some other graphics for promotional materials, they’ve got you covered. Check them out!

Visit their website www.chicpr.com. You can also follow them on Twitter at www.Twitter.com/ChicPRDC and “like” them on Facebook (Chic Public Relations).

Be fabYOUlous…..and stay CHIC! ;-)

It’s all about the STRIPES!

Mommies….mommies….mommies!!! Let me tell you why I love this swimsuit for us!
First, it’s a one piece and one piece swimsuits are typically mommy friendly!
Second, all of these stripes going in different directions are sure to draw attention AWAY from certain areas we’d rather not draw attention to…if ya know what I mean. ;-)
Third, it’s only $35 and you know how we love a good bargain.
Thank you H & M! The moms across the world appreciate you thinking of us.
H & M $35

Gray is Good!

One of spring’s hottest nail colors is GRAY! Not gun metal gray but nice, soft, springy gray! At first mention, it may sound a little drab but try it! The color looks great on just about everybody and matches with everything. :-) Nails are such a small part of our bodies but they can make a big difference. Go gray!!!
