Bonkers For Braids!!!

If you've turned on the TV or opened a magazine or laptop in the past month, guaranteed you've seen one of your favorite celebs sporting some sort of fancy braided concoction in her hair.  At first, we thought, "WTF" but braids have become such a part of the fashion landscape lately that they've really started to grow on us.  Here's how to rock the newest do on the block without looking like Pippi Longstocking. 

A Cheeky Twist On Mom Jeans

As much as I'd kill to slither back into my favorite post-college low-rise, dangerously hip-hugging denim, well that's about as realistic as Kim K never posting another naked selfie.  Sure they're sexy, but totally, unequivocally age-inappropriate!?? Yup!  And with that, something I promised myself I'd never do, has become a reality....well, sort of.

By definition, mom jeans are hideous, pouch-protruding, wedgie-accentuating, dumpy threads of denim that should be tossed to back of our closets for...ETERNITY.  That is, until now.  It took a recent trip to CVS pharmacy for me to completely overhaul my closet and philosophy.  Picture this...frantic mommy running after a crazy wild tot up and down the aisles until mid-rise rapidly turns into low-rise, as in, plumbers-crack fully friggin exposed.  The poor check out lady had that "Oh bless her heart" look on her face when I limped my way up panting, sweating, on the verge of a full fashion meltdown.  At that moment, mom jeans were about to creep their way into my wardrobe but not just any old frumpy mom jeans.  After much research, I uncovered that cool mom jeans actually DO exist these days.  Hallelujah!  And everyone's taking a stab at em...J Brand, Mavi, Hudson- some with a super cheeky twist like the new Wedgie Jeans for Levi's...Here are a few faves.  ENJOY!

Au Fudge!

What happens when A-lister-turned-family-gal, Jessica Biel comes up with a genius new kid-friendly/adult-approved restaurant and lands it smack in the middle of West Hollywood!?  Seventh Heaven for everyone!!!  Get it Get it?!  

Check out the new Au Fudge, opening March 4th.  Think Soho House meets Chucky Cheese complete with a Timberlake stamp of approval.  It's here, it's real and damn, we wish we would have come up with this cool of a concept.

Early word on the street:  The food's good, the dessert's great!  Mamas, you'll love sipping on champagne while watching your lil ones go nuts in one of the 3 playrooms.  Sign...Us...Up!
