Yesterday, I filmed a segment for Telemundo’s “Mujer de Hoy” in which I discussed how to look stylish throughout pregnancy and beyond.
Earlier today, I head down to ModaListas, the gorgeous boutique into the Limelight Shops, the church-turned-nightclub-turned-marketplace located in Manhattan’s Flatiron district, where we filmed a segment for Telemundo’s “Mujer de Hoy” centered on how to dress fashionably during pregnancy.
Sure, she nagged you about eating your vegetables, reminded you incessantly that she was neither a maid nor a short order chef, and monitored your every utterance in case a curse word slipped out, but she also cooked you chicken soup when you had a cold, kissed every scraped knee and tiny boo-boo, read your favorite bedtime story so many times she could recite it from memory, stitched up your favorite stuffed animal for the 100th time, cut the crust off your sandwich, drove you to ballet or baseball practice at obscenely early hours, and displayed every excellent report card or sports team trophy with the pride others would reserve for Nobel Peace Prizes.
Earth Day may have been celebrated yesterday, but living an eco-friendly life isn’t limited to planting a tree on a single day or liking a Facebook post about all-natural cleansing products — it’s a long-term commitment that requires discipline.
Yesterday was an insanely busy day but, fortunately, the sun was beaming in New York City, so I took the opportunity to wear a bright shift dress in the hopes that my Field of Dreams-inspired, “if you build it, he will come” ethos and basically will springtime to stay for good this time around.
Yesterday morning, I had the immense pleasure of appearing on Telemundo NY’s 6-month old morning show “Buenos Días Nueva York” to discuss spring footwear trends and, of course, show off some styles every woman will likely covet.
Coco Chanel once said, “I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the fantasy of nature; lace always evokes for me those incomparable designs which the branches and leaves of trees embroider across the sky, and I do not think that any invention of the human spirit could have a more graceful or precise origin.” This season, designer’s seem to have taken heed of Chanel’s words, incorporating loads of lace into their garments and accessories.
Ever the chameleon, Rihanna has gone from beach-frolicking island girl in her ”Pon de Replay” days to ravenous seductress in her “Unfaithful” era to the dish-breaking, leather-loving rebel with the asymmetrical, jet black ‘do in her Good Girl Gone Bad stage; the bondage-loving, tattoo-flaunting, blond provocateur in the Rated R era,;the spunky redhead with the playful pin-up side in the Loud era; and the often brash and in-your-face persona she’s embodied with the release of Unapologetic.
When it comes to fashion, you’ll be seeing things in black and white this spring — literally.
