Friends, I'm so excited! I’ve been wanting to write more fashion editorial and after pondering and consulting with Kris-Ann, today I'm launching a new editorial series called Style on a Budget. Why? Because while I do believe in investing in key pieces, there are definitely ways to amplify and improve your wardrobe without breaking the bank. I also share the frustration of many women when I see “bargain” fashion editorial that is far from affordable.

So, my goals for this series are multifaceted! First, I want to help you track down great pieces for less. Second, I want to help you figure out how to make the most of what you have. And third, I want to share clever solutions and inspiration. Every now and then I also will likely address pieces worth investing in -- investment pieces are, in fact, part of budgeting -- but largely, my approach will be to help you look awesome at reasonable expense. If you’ve got particular fashion quandaries you’d like me to address, send me an email at editor@bostonmamas.com!
