Got another site to share with you all.
First some background. I have a new obsession (to add on to my existing obsession to handbags and shoes): nail polish. Blame it Rihanna, but I’m all over the “interesting nail polish color” thing.
So, I was looking for a nice (non-neon) yellow polish and did my usual Google search. I found that Chanel has a new “pop-art” shade collection called “Robertson Boutique“, which includes ‘LA Sunrise‘, a gorgeous shimmery yellow.
I like Chanel’s nail polishes. I’d had Black Satin and Ballerina for a while now and loved those so I figured what the hell, why not on LA Sunrise. Well, at $25.00/bottle, um, no thanks (sidebar: some sellers on eBay want upwards of $40.00!!! What are they smoking?! I got my Black Satin and Ballerina from a duty-free shop while traveling so trust and believe I did NOT pay $25 bucks–tee hee! Sadly, I just learned that Chanel has pulled all beauty items, except fragrances, from all duty-free locations. Le sigh.. another reason to for me to dislike top-tier design houses. But I digress.)
So while searching soft yellow polishes, I landed on The Polish Addict.
Girls, I love this blog! I bookmarked it immediately. Written by “Pretear” (a law student–you go girl!) she offers an extremely well-written informative blog on nothing but nail polish and has fantastic pictures/swatches to go along with her commentary. Her pics are fab and can I just say I LOOOOOOOOOVE her nails!!?!

I don’t know who sits at the ‘designer trends roundtable’ and thinks up what’s gonna be hot in fashion, but whoever thought this one up for 2008 gets an epic FAIL.
Katie Holmes has been trying to push this whole rolled up Boyfriend jeans style the past few weeks and I’ll tell y’all right now I’m NOT feeling it.
Leave this trend in 1992 where it belongs. That’s it. That’s all. Thank you.
What say you: Are you feeling it?

What’s the line gonna be called? Fierce for Moody Mamas by Christian Siriano and it will premiere Spring 2009.
Love the name.
I’m looking forward to seeing the line so we can all chit-chat about it here on Hot Mama Daily…Stay tuned!

I’m sure most of my Hot Mamas living in the southern U.S. states are well are of Pickles and Ice Cream (don’t cha just LOVE that name?), the fab maternity boutiques. I just recently found them and learned they are the oldest and largest maternity clothing franchise in the United States. They’re also expanding up north (Brooklyn, NY - they’re on the way) this fall.
Along with the brick and morter boutique locations, Pickles and Ice Cream of course has an online presence too. And it’s not just clothing for Moms-to-be; there’s beauty/skincare items, diaper bags and baby items too. They’ve got all the bases covered.
Check ‘em out!

Been meaning to tell you gals about my online shopping experience with a boutique based in Chicago, Lori’s Shoes
I found them back when I was searching for my Big Buddha ‘Miranda’ handbag last month. Of course, during my ‘window browsing’ I found shoes that I desperately needed (right) so I made a purchase…again. What did I get?
Boutique 9 ‘Hayes’ pump (which I’ve discussed before) - $114.00 USD
and I also bought some gorgeous yellow pumps too:
Boutique 9 ‘Narcissa‘ pump - $120.00 USD
I have to say it was a seemless and perfect online shopping experience. The service was fast, they emailed me every step of the way at various points of my order and my deliver was perfectly packed. It was almost as if I was there AT their store in Chicago b/c I received a shopping bag and a point of sale receipt in my package. Perfect!

Their shoes and handbag selection is great and I’d definitely shop there again. Thanks Lori’s! Read More

Shoes, bags and clutches. They will be the end of me. I’m telling you, it’s a problem in my household. I keep saying (every doggone month, mind you) that I’m going to control myself but, meh, the reality is: I don’t want to.
I love purses. I LOVE them. I have a gazillion and am always ready to buy a gazillion more.
Which led me today to Kenneth Cole’s website. Le sigh. Bag and clutch heaven. And when Kenneth Cole has a sale, it’s on and poppin’. Check out the ones I just recently purchased!
(From pic above, starting from top to bottom)
Kenneth Cole Reaction ‘Glaze of the Week Clutch’ (shown in Banana)- $49.98 USD (was $78.00)
Kenneth Cole Reaction ‘Simply the Best Day Clutch’ (shown in aqua) - $69.98 USD (was $108.00)
Kenneth Cole New York ‘Flap Down - Oversized Clutch’ (shown in grey) $59.97 USD (was $148.00)
You likey? Tee hee! But of course what I displayed above is not all they have. Check out all their clutches and evening purses right here.
Happy Shopping! Tell me if you found anything good too ;)

Laurie asked: “who is the designer of these shoes that Christina Aguilera is wearing [in this post]?”
Answer: Hey Laurie! It looks like it could be from Balenciaga. They had released a verrrry similar pair S/S ‘05. I’m not sure if they re-released a revamped model last year… But my money’s on Balenciaga.

Hope that helps!
