The 9 Best Bohemian-Style Accessories On Amazon

As mamas, it’s easy to get caught wearing the same t-shirts and yoga pants day after day. They are easy to match and oh so comfortable. But you deserve a style that expresses yourself! The Boho look adds creativity to an otherwise everyday style. Keep your closet stocked up with the basic layers, and add in bohemian accessories to spice up your look! All of the accessories below can be found on Amazon (yay for two-day shipping!!)

1. Sam Edelman Kendall Blue Tote

This mixed-media, blue tote features a contrast of fringe and tassel charms. It’s hard to tell in the picture, but the front has seashell embellishments while a paisley pattern embroiders the sides and bottom of the bag. The inside of the bag offers plenty of space and organized pocket options.

2.  Panacea Neon and Neutral Cotton Tassel Necklace

If you haven’t already, you will begin to see tassels frequently pop-up on almost all bohemian style accessories. Some are brightly colored while others are more neutral, but the addition of the tassel stays the same. The necklace pictured above would make a great addition to any summer wardrobe and, unlike many heavier costume jewelry necklaces, this one feels lightweight.

3.  Circus by Sam Edelman Wayne Cross-Body Bag

On the weekends, trade-in that cumbersome diaper bag for a smaller cross-body bag! I’m in love with the unique pattern on the top bordering the black body with brightly colored yarn tassels and pom poms dangling on the front! The zippered closure will keep all your essentials inside! Leave all the baby supplies at home and enjoy a night out just for YOU!

4. QTMY Bohemian Jewelry Alloy Multilayer Beaded Pendant Necklace

The bohemian style doesn’t always have to be flashy! Boho also has room for simple statement pieces. The layered necklace pictured above is a great example.

5. Vince Camuto Pria Tote

Needing a tote with a lot of space to replace your diaper bag or to carry your beach essentials? This is the tote for you! Run errands and throw in your purchases as you go into this spacious bag! The overall look is fun and bright! The bag itself is simple, but the tassels add a touch of flair.

6. Panacea Bright Boho with Spike Y-Shaped Necklace

The Y-shaped necklaces are really popular right now. A necklace like this would look great with a plain black t-shirt or neutral colored tank. Just be careful that your baby doesn’t get ahold of the dangly strand and pull! This piece of jewelry might be better worn with older children or on date nights!

7. Circus by Sam Edelman Clyde

This pom pom tassel embroidered bag is my favorite of all the bags! I feel like if a bag could have a personality, this one would match mine! You can hold onto the straps, but it’s also long enough to wear over your shoulder. It’s not as spacious as the tote, but it’s bigger than the clutch — it’s a great in-between sized bag.

8. Danielle Nicole Orbiting Drop Earrings

These earrings are so versatile in the fact that they are neutral. If you have a plain top and you want to spice it up a bit, add these beautiful, dangling earrings to take your look from drab to fab!

9. ARIS Genuine Quartz Crystal Bohemian Cuff Bracelet Bundle: Bangle & Bag

I love this bangle! It is a gorgeous, hand-finished, rustic cuff. It’s a statement piece with a wire wrap and a stone that is a genuine large quartz. Keep in mind that this bracelet is recommended for a small or medium sized wrist.

What do you think of the boho style? Tell us in the comments which one is YOUR favorite accessory! If you aren’t so much into the boho look, tell us about YOUR favorite style!

6 Reasons To Get A Diaper Bag

by Ellice Vargas August 15, 2016
written by Ellice Vargas

I remember looking at diaper bags when I was expecting my first baby and honestly, I was super un-impressed by the frumpy options that were in most stores. I seriously considered just picking out a large purse and throwing all my baby gear in it. Well, that was until I found a diaper bag that I loved, and I finally understood that they are just as practical as they sometimes look. Except now you don’t have to sacrifice fashion for functionality. Here are just a few reasons a diaper bag should be on your list of must-haves for your baby.

1. Compartments

Compartments = organization. Which, as a new mom is the best thing ever. I loved that everything had a place, and a pocket. Lets be honest, babies require a whole bunch of junk, and if you dare leave the house you better pack it all just it case. Some diaper bags have a really handy insert which you can remove and easily change between a diaper bag and regular purse which is pretty awesome.

Skiphop.com has a huge selection of diaper bags, plus tons of other must have baby items.

2. Stroller Hooks

These handy dandy contraptions are the best. I picked a lightweight stroller, which unfortunately had a tiny basket so they only way to store my diaper bag while I was out was hanging it from stroller, but it was made so easy with the stroller hooks and I could just clip it on and off easily. Problem solved!

3. Insulated Pockets

I honestly didn’t think I would even use these pockets, it figured it was just something they added to make them seem more appealing. I nursed my daughter until around a year so I almost never carried pumped milk or bottles for formula with me. But it turns out it they were awesome for the bottles of milk I started carrying around once she was weaned and for snacks that need to be kept cool while we were out.

4. Easy To Clean

Most diaper bags are super easy to wipe clean, both inside and out, which is fantastic considering how many spills they need to endure. They are also built to last and will manage the day to day bustle of life with kids much better than a regular purse.

5. Stylish

Unlike in years before, there are tons of stylish diaper bag companies on market. I remember when I was looking only 2 years ago I was struggling to find anything I was remotely interested in and seriously considered starting my own company.

Fawn Design is so cute and always in super high demand, so make sure to snag one of these up whenever they are in stock.

6. Versatile

So many diaper bags have the option to wear a few different ways. One of my personal favorites is the backpack style. There is nothing better then having a hands free option when you are out and about with your littles.

6 Easy Wardrobe Staples Every Mama Should Have

by Karen Harris December 8, 2015
written by Karen Harris

Attention, Mamas! We know your babies are your very first priority (and we applaud you for that!), so some of the priorities of your former life– you know, like eating three square meals a day, keeping both legs shaved, and putting time and effort into your style–may have been bumped down a few notches. That’s okay, and we can completely relate. But what’s not okay is when sassy, sacrificing Mamas like you feel sloppy schleppy, and quite frankly, not like yourself.

I’ve put together a list of six versatile, must-have wardrobe staples for moms-on-the-go who enjoy style but live in the real world. Take these suggestions as inspiration to find your own adorable, affordable versions that fit best into your life!

1. Leggings

You read that right. I am a defender of the controversial legging because they can be a great outfit building block if you wear them correctly. No, leggings ain’t pants, but if you wear them the same way you’d wear tights, like under a long sweater, tunic, or dress, you’ll be golden. The beauty of leggings is that they can be dressed up so easily. Take the outfit above: A long, chunky-knit sweater, chic (but comfortable!) leather knee-high boots, and touches of gold accessories add richness to this look. Grab your favorite stylish diaper bag and you’re good to go! (Here are some more ways to style leggings.)

2. An Open Cardigan

This is one of the easiest layering pieces you can put in your wardrobe! Throw over a T-shirt and jeans or leggings before you head out the door. Shoe choice is easy, too–sneakers, sandals, or boots all go with this low-key sweater. Bonus: wrap it around yourself to cover the stain after your little munchkin accidentally drops chocolate ice cream down your shirt (because you still have errands to run while you’re out).

3. Distressed Denim

You can’t keep a pair of jeans looking new to save your life, so you might as well buy them this way! For all the bending, chasing, and crawling around on the floor that you do, buy some denim that is supposed to look distressed, and keep on distressing. You can pair them with everything from a fancy, flirty top to a plain cotton tee-shirt, to a zip-up hoody. You heard it here: there’s a way to look chic in a sweatshirt. Just make sure your top of choice is slightly fitted and has a clean design to balance out the worn, relaxed look of the jeans. I love the navy striped zip-up featured here because it’s so easy to create a nautical style with a couple pops of red, like with shoes and a bag. Finish the look by accessorizing with a cute baby, and voilà! You just made a sweatshirt and ripped jeans look put-together.

4. A Cotton Dress

Whether you choose jersey cotton for the summer or a sweater dress for the fall and winter months, a cotton dress is the easiest, comfiest, outfit builder you could ask for. If it’s cooler out, wear over leggings to provide an extra layer of warmth and, ahem, gut-control (and is much more comfortable than tights). Tall leather boots add an extra dose of sophistication, and metallic touches, like a large-faced watch, stack of bracelets, and a purse with accent hardware, add to the class.

5. Graphic Scarves

This staple is probably the easiest, most impactful outfit-changer you can add to your closet! Seriously, grab a handful of cute patterns–you shouldn’t have to pay any more than $25 per scarf (at most!) if you shop around. Wear these with graphic or plain tees, sweaters, dresses, or underneath coats. Chunky knit or blanket scarves (which are square-shaped) are great for style and warmth in the winter, while lighter cotton scarves add a pop of fun to a plain outfit in the warmer weather. Pashimas are woven versions that can be wrapped around your neck or draped around your shoulders, like a shawl. And like the open cardigan (#2), you can use these pieces for camouflage: loop one around your neck to hide that spit-up spot that just appeared on your shoulder. (Here are some creative ways to tie a scarf.)

6. Cute, Comfortable Shoes

You don’t have the time or patience to saunter around in heels anymore, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for an unattractive alternative. As mentioned above, leather boots or booties are an awesome choice for cool weather because they’re classic, comfortable, and versatile. Leather wears so nicely because whether it’s brand-new or worn-in, it still looks chic. Additionally, brands like Kork-Ease and Born are specifically designed to be stylish and comfortable. Also, there’s no need to shy away from the good-old fashioned tennis shoe. You don’t have to be a marathon runner to buy a pair of sneakers because big-shoe brands make cute, casual styles specifically for traipsing around town. Converse are old-school favorites that will never go out of style, and I am partial to pink and pastel-hued sneakers to add a feminine pop of color to the simplest of outfits.

There you have it, Mamas: proof that having style doesn’t have to mean sacrificing the time and energy you’d rather spend with your kids. Use these easy outfit ideas and go through your day feeling  polished, but not pinned up. Mama style should be simple and effortless, because you deserve to feel your best!
