Three Haute Mamas

Boston Don't Be Shocked..It's Called "Warm Weather" + We Are Here to Help

Hey Mamas!

Wow! We are just now recovering from last week! And our girls weekend in Nantucket wasn't exactly restful, truth be told! Work continues on our website, and as usual we are running fashionably late on our debut.  It's turning out to be more of a project than expected and when the going gets tough, the tough turn to

No000!  Not the bottle! Shopping!  That's actually a photo from a very fun night out apres Fashion Show (that went super duper well) at our good friend Maryanne Kondraki's Contrary Boutique.  She knows us-she had plenty of food, fashion, and yes, skinnygirl margaritas on ice waiting!  Thanks Maryanne! 

And now it's almost Memorial Day weekend, the start of summer!  And Boston, don't be shocked, but the forecast is calling for sunny days ahead.   Are you ready to brave the pool/beach mamas? We've discussed summer prep before, and how you should not be surprised it's coming, well..I am so not ready.  But no time like the present! I've been starving myself eating healthy and just found this awesome workout via my idol, and if I ever feel my legs again it'll be a miracle.  Speaking of miracles, I thought the Calypso St. Barth prices at Target were sent from heaven, right now, the sale prices on their website are an additional 40% off.  Check out these to die for looks for summer

this makes me as happy as a skinnygirl margarita

oh yes.. an additional 40% off makes all that Tracy Anderson pain oh so worth it.  

 

 

Fashion, oysters, Patriots and Jason Mraz make for one helluva weekend in Boston

As much as I cannot wait to see my cousin get married this weekend, there are ahem, a few events going on this weekend that I'm totally bummed to be missing.  The good news is that you do not have to!

 
 When the girls were little-little, we were total Dan Zanes groupies.  Now that they're big (8,7 + 4) we're all over Jason Mraz.  And Momma has a thing for Ben Harper. Don't tell Daddy.  Or Laura Dern.  Life is good festival.  Be there. 

 

Kimberly and Christina will be on Newbury Street to cover FNO Boston style.  

benefiting the Island Creek Oysters Foundation

The Island Creek Oysters foundation strives to give locally and globally to issues impacting Duxbury Bay, Children, and Food. We start by donating 10% of Island Creek Oysters' profit to our foundation every year.

Kim and I met these boys at an event in Nantucket this year, at the Pearl, and they really are the nicest guys in the world.  And the oysters..the oysters..Like buttah.  This is a kid friendly event, and parents..rather than list who's on the guest chefs list, I'd be better off listing who's not on the chefs list. It's that good. It's Saturday, 3-11 in Duxbury.  Belly up. 

And lest we forget...

 Sunday baby. 

 

The Nantucket finale..

What we've established about Nantucket:

-People like to serve chips and guacamole from hats to (the nicest.....) celeb chefs

 

-Fashion can be a little..understated.  The locals are not ( have I mentioned? We heart Nantucket locals. sigh..).  The boutiques are phenomenal!  Shopping is a unique experience with one of a kind clothing and accessories so tourists, mix it up and create a new updated Nantucket style.  Support local businesses! Who knows?  Maybe some fun bartender (Holly.THE best..love ya doll!)  will invite you to some hot party!     

-Wine festival..Figawi weekend..Film Festival..Comedy festival...or just a get away..what are you waiting for? It's all just a reason to buy new clothes!  The bonus is that you get a great island get away and new clothes! Win-win!

-Cobblestone streets + Stilettos=Broken Ankles   

Cobblestones + Wedge Heels= Happy ankles

(OMG. Math is fun!)

-The food..the food...I know this is a fashion blog, but in a way..this does pertain to fashion because I need all new clothes from the lb's I packed on from all those fab restaurants.  Eat out.  Eat often.  Drink out.  Drink often. 

And some Nantucket music.  Or rather music we listened to on Nantucket.  If this doesn't make you fall in love with something or someone.. you need to hit up Corazon del Mar for another margarita! 

Happy Memorial day weekend friends and a special shout out to all those who served, and continue to serve our country! That is the ultimate in haute, and we are forever grateful xoxo

Want another reason to visit Nantucket this time of year?

the SALES! 

I thought I had just hit the jackpot last year when I found the beautiful Erica Wilson boutique, and the amazing 75% off sales in her children's department.  Normal children's prices can run in the fairly high range, so I was all over this like it was my job.  I am the bargain-ista of the haute mama trio, and when I see 75% off my heart races.  Stores need to make room for summer/tourist season so everything must go.  I don't care if they're making room for horse stalls, I am thankful, appreciative and ready to spend.

We already saw Kim's gorgeous dress from Ceri-$39!  I got a pair of equestrian pants, same price, same store.  At Erica Wilson, I got my girls gorgeous Nantucket sweatshirts, normally $80, now 2 for $20. Not your typical screen printed sweatshirts, these are tres nice, and my girls have come to expect nothing but the best from my island trips (they're 6 + 8.  Why wouldn't they expect the best?).  

Everywhere I looked, sales! Sales! Sales! Show some spirit! Support your local business, get a great deal and get a fabulous outfit as well.  And even earn a few brownie points with the kids.  Win, win (unlike the Celtics last night..sad...sad..).
