Working Mothers Unite

I consider myself blessed in so many ways.  I get to stay home with my three boys and help watch them grow and I also get to live out this wonderful passion of mine.  I strongly seek out other women business owners and try to purchase as much as possible from them.  This is why all of our graphic tees that we offer come from small women ran businesses.  Some of them are on hand and some do require to be made on order, that is why they have a 14 day shipping time frame.

I feel it is so important to empower and support other women when we can.  Help me support other women like yourself and their dream.

Tired of your boring jeans?

So I LOVE skinny jeans, and I also LOVE to wear cute booties with it.  Since I am a little taller, I like to have longer pants.  Here is the thing, your cute booties do not always look the best when you cannot show off how cute they are.

My last photo shoot I had the idea to hike up my skinny jeans and make them "floods".  Want to see the end result?  Let's just say that I will be doing this more often.

The release of our new Spring Line

If you follow along on social media, you probably know that I am a mother of 3 boys.  Just like you, I do not feel worthy of splurging on myself, when my son needs yet another pair of shoes because he is growing like a weed.  I have struggled with finding age appropriate clothing, especially since now I feel like I need to dress a certain way...getting old and having kids can do that to you.

That's when I decided to start up Hazel Blues clothing line.  I knew that I wanted to offer clothing to active women around the world, who not only want to feel beautiful in their skin, but not have to compromise comfort while doing it.  All of my pieces are carefully thought out with every body type in mind.  I have worked with a top designer to bring a unique twist to some classics you already love.  While Tara Lynn's Boutique will be the prominent brand carrying Hazel Blues at first, we will also be offering the line to other boutiques to carry across the country.  It is my hopes that Hazel Blues becomes a household name, not for fame or for fortune though.  I want to change the way women think about their bodies, especially after the toll it takes from having kids.  I want women to not feel guilty about finally buying themselves something. We are  always placing our needs on the back burner.  I want you to get excited about your body again and to clothe it with something that not only makes you FEEL beautiful but makes you LOOK beautiful too.

I will never forget an email I got from a woman who had ordered a dress from me.  She talked about how for the first time she actually felt beautiful in 10 years, 10 YEARS.  A simple dress can do that for us, and that is why I am in this business ladies.  To help make YOU feel beautiful. Even if it is for one night while out with your loved one.  She will never know how much that email meant to me.  It is what drives me each and every day to make a difference in this industry.

I hope that you will get as excited about this new clothing line as I am.  I cannot wait to share it with each of you.  Be confident in your skin and in yourself.  You can make a difference.

The Do's and Don'ts of Cuffing Your Jeans with Ankle Boots

I stumbled across this article here.  If you haven't checked out Merrick's Art I strongly suggest it.  She is an adorable mother who posts not only fashion tips, but stuff we all need to know, like how to keep your white converse clean.

The first time I wore a pair of jeans with ankle boots, I struggled with the right length and style and cuffing. Now, more than a year after I bought my first pair of ankle boots, I still sometimes struggle with the right cuffing style that works with each style of ankle boot. So in the next couple of posts, I want to cover several styles of ankle boots — tall ankle boots, short ankle booties, ankle boots with the little dip in the front, and ankle boots that are a normal ankle height.
Today let’s talk about that last one — probably the most common style of ankle boot. You can wear these with almost any kind of jean or pant — skinny, bootcut, flared, boyfriend, cropped, etc. In my pictures I’m wearing mine with a regular length pair of skinny jeans, but all of the tips can be applied to other styles of jeans as well.
First up, this is probably obvious, but don’t pull your jeans over your boots. Bootcut and flared jeans are an exception, since you want them to come over the boot and be long enough to almost touch the floor. But all other jeans should NOT be pulled over the boot.

Next, with this style of ankle boot, DON’T tuck your pants into your boots. This creates a stumpy look because there is no break in the line of the leg at the ankle. It also makes it look like your jeans are way too long for your leg. So no tucking in for this style of boot.

Ahh, this is better, right?  A simple, imperfect cuff. This is the way I wear them the most often. It’s casual, easy, and is a perfect way to create a little separation between your jeans and your boots. Also, make sure you let your ankle peek out a bit since that little sliver of skin will help visually elongate your leg.

This is a cuffing style that you have to be careful with, since a large cuff like this can shorten the line of your leg. If you have thick or short legs, stay away from this and try a shorter cuff. But if your legs are long and/or thin, this works and is just another fun way to cuff your jeans with ankle boots. Also, make sure your cuff doesn’t go bigger than about 3 inches.

And finally, a rolled cuff. This one is a more casual option that is perfect for your weekend outfits. Leave about an inch of ankle showing in between the jeans and boots — don’t roll too much or too little.

We're dreaming of tulle...

9 Fashion Tips For Staying Stylish And Warm This Winter

During the winter months, we all want to look our best, but it’s just so hard to bundle up and still look GREAT. The abundance of cold weather accessories – (hats, gloves, scarves) can be overwhelming, and bulky sweaters, coats and boots can leave you looking like a haphazard snow woman if you’re not careful.

Here are some of our top tips for staying stylish -- and warm -- this winter. 

1. Accessorize For Warmth

Scarves are a perfect accessory with pure style and warmth; you can even leave them on as part of your outfit.

2. Cut Down On Bulk

Try clothing that is long-sleeved with a slight stretch that conforms to your body. This way, if you throw a cardigan or denim jacket over it for a casual weekend look, there is no bulk.

3. Throw On A Vest

Fur vests (faux, of course) are stylish and pair well over a thin top. Warm without the bulk -- I love them!

4. Layer With Cardigans

Thin, lightweight cardigan sweaters look great paired over leggings and jeans, and you can dress them up with a sweet brooch.

5. Repurpose Your Summer Wardrobe

Wear your strapless summer dress over a fitted black turtleneck top -- a flawless way to extend your summer wardrobe and stay toasty.

6. Be Warm From Head To Toe

Tall boots are fantastic in the winter for keeping your feet warm, especially since you can wear a thick pair of knee high socks.

7. Go Nude

Wear a nude fitted camisole under your tops -- it won’t show and it will add a layer, without the bulk.

8. Keep Your Legs Warm

Opt for thick opaque stockings; they are the perfect addition to a winter wardrobe, and perfect for the office.

9. Wear Lined Skirts

Lined skirts won’t itch, are stylish and will keep you warm.
