I’ve wanted to do this series for awhile now. Show you the contents of my purse, and then have you, my too hip to be square readers, submit photos of what’s in yours. I carry a lot in my purse. I’m a big bag lady, and I’m not afraid to share it. After transitioning out of diaper bags with both my babies I seamlessly adopted big purses in lieu of the UG, diaper bag. The more I can carry the…

As you’re preparing to go to the pool this summer, think about taking your swimwear to the next level. I mean, obviously it’s critical to have a really great swimsuit, but I like to knock it out of the ballpark with cute shoes and accessories What are you wearing on your way to the pool or the beach? What are you wearing when you’re not in the water? These are critical questions. Life or death critical. Almost. Luckily really adorable…

Now that the heat of the Summer is about to be upon us it’s time to talk moisturizer (some of us anyway, hello if you’re in Australia and heading into Fall!). I have a handful of moisturizers I use and love, but my standby for years and years has been Oil of Olay. It’s drugstore cheap (I buy mine in bulk with a coupon from Costco to make it even cheaper), and it works like a charm. I’m particularly fond…

Summer is, hands down, my absolute favorite season. The kids are out of school, the weather is hot and dry, and the local pool is open for business. We spend a lot of time at the local pool. All the moms joust for position under the umbrellas and preen in front of their peers while they watch the kids. I just hunker down with a good trashy magazine and a pair of big sunglasses and throw Twizzlers at the kids…

I spent Sunday in San Francisco in gorgeous, sunny weather. I walked a huge portion of the city in search of some great jewelry. Does that seem insane? Maybe. But the weather was warm and I was alone and jewelry seemed like the perfect thing to hunt. I have a bit of a thing for bold statement pieces, and I happened to find a really lovely necklace from a street vendor in San Francisco right by one of the hotels…

I did another fashion segment for a local t.v. station this afternoon, showing off the hotness that is DownEast Basics right now. I wasn’t nervous, even though my sweat glands disagreed. I’ve decided yellow isn’t my color, poofy tops make me look pregnant, and my arms could use some toning. Other than that, it was perfect. After watching the rehash through my fingers, I’ve decided it’s tolerable and can share the video link with you.Petit Elefant talks fashion. Thankfully I…
