| Stella and Dot Foundation Bracelets |
Don’t be shocked when Mama tells you this…but to be honest, Mama must share with you that…I’ve never been much of an accessories girl. GASP! In fact Mama’s husband is kind-of in the business of accessorizing and Mama could really care less. For years Mama has worn the same earrings, same watch and same ring. On occasion, Mama shakes it up.
However, Mama came to realize recently that I was totally missing out. How fun it is to take a plain outfit and make it a total 10 with just the right accessories. One must tread carefully though, as you can definitely “over-accessorize” an outfit. Don’t wear a fedora, a bold statement necklace and twenty bangles all at once — that’s a little too busy. To help you on your quest for the perfect accessories, Mama has found some gems that will make you the envy of all your friends!
Statement piece — can’t you just see yourself wearing this necklace with paired with shorts, ankle booties and simple white tee. Perfect for dressing up or down, this necklace is in a league of its own. Available at Shopthelook.net, $26.

| Same Sky Bracelet |
Cause piece — it always makes Mama feel better about a purchase when it’s supports a good cause. Mama loves buying from companies that believe in fair trade practices, Same Sky supports the same women that make the bracelets they sell in Rwanda, Africa. Mama loves the different colors of glass beads woven together to make a gorgeous accessory. You can wear and feel lucky that you have so much. Available at SameSky.com, $160.

| Honey and Hive |
Multiple piece — a new love on Mama’s list is the Piperlime site. Right now they are carrying the most fabulous necklaces from Hive and Honey. Any of the necklaces will work but Mama is wanting the Coral Multi-chain necklace, $74. This is one of their more expensive necklaces but check out the site for one that fits your style for around $40.

Head piece — let Mama just say this — if you can pull off this style — you’re awesome! Mama goes back and forth but sometimes it’s worth buying just to wear around the house. Available at Nordstrom.com, $38.

| Stella and Dot Lola Necklace |
Girly piece — Lily-girl on the other hand is quite the accessories hound. She cannot resist a good bracelet or headband. Mama adores the styles from Stella & Dot made just for girls her size. They are quality (note, not plastic junk!) and look great on. Lily-girl’s favorites are the Foundation Bracelets (she loves to support a good cause like her Mama), $19, and the Lola Necklace, $29. Makes a great gift!
Tell Mama…what’s your favorite way to accessorize?
My philosophy is simple: just because you're a mom doesn't mean you have to forgo style or your life. You can do it all with a little help from Mama. Mama makes life easier by doing all the shopping, crafting and ranting for you because really...what Mama has the time for that?! Mama will not lie, I can bake but if you're looking for cooking tips you might be better off going someplace else!
