Congrats Supermom. Bags and lunchboxes are packed, after school logistics arranged, and school supplies are at the ready (scored at a discount nonetheless).
Only one small detail was missed: your fall wardrobe. And according to all accounts (your mom, fashion mags, Tracy Anderson), maintaining your “momshell” status should also be on your to-do list this September.
So join us this evening for our Fashion Night In (FNI ’12), where we called upon Heather Kushman, our savvy fashion correspondent (and boutique owner) to help us create a curated collection of Fall Fashion Must Haves, meant to keep you current and looking cool this season.
