JBrand Jeans. Versatile--from American Vogue's Anna Wintour, to Paris Vogue's Emanuelle Alt, to supermodel Elle Macpherson. Here from the shores of Williamsburg (Stormi), to a post punk throw back to 1970's London (Dana), to a Brooklyn Staycation (Rachel), JBrand jeans fit the bill. You can upload your own street style photos in your own pair of JBrands at JWorld
Stay tuned for coming photos from Copenhagen and Stockholm Fashion Weeks :)
I slung my straw purse over my shoulder, grabbed my bottle of cold water and headed out the front door.
I was wearing a pair of ratty shorts, a tank top and flip flops I usually wear while working in my yard.
My hair was a mess, as I had rolled out of bed that morning and opted to clean the house over taking a shower.
I put on my black sunglasses, the ones with the rhinestones sprinkled around the frame, as they are big and would hopefully distract from my messy bed-hair and face bare of make-up.
I walked down the front steps and along the sidewalk.
With car keys in hand, I stepped onto the driveway and made my way toward my car.
I yelled across the driveway to my 5 year old twin daughter, "Here - start the car," and I tossed the keys into the air.
It was at that moment - when she stood in front of me - tall and poised - mature and beautiful - confident ... that I realized that she was no longer a 5 year old child - no longer my sweet baby girl - no longer standing behind me .... anymore.
It was at that moment that ... I saw her as a young woman - as a flower standing tall - as an image of my younger self and not the child I have always looked after.
It was at that moment - as the sun enlightened the beauty of her face and the keys floated through the air, as if in slow motion, that ... I saw her.
Not behind me.
Not beside me.
But ...
Out in front of me ...
Standing at the threshold that will lead her ...
Away from me ...
Into her own world.
It was a sad awakening, but ...
She had a smile on her face.
On the upside ... I have sadness, but ... I have done my very best to prepare her. She is a flower and she will do well. I can only hope that the foundation I have layed for her is strong and holds tightly the memories and lessons to serve as her touchstone. I can only hope that that smile ... goes with her!

I met this beauty on the corner of Avenue A and 2d. She is wearing Belgian designer Martin Margiela's top. The asymmetrical details speak for themselves.
This is Miche who is originally from Hawaii wearing a Betsey Johnson 2007 top.
This is Maria. Ironically, she's an economics major at N.Y.U. proving yet again that women can be both brainy and beautiful.
It's called On The Flipside - Where we are all great moms and fabulous women with different points of view.
On The Flipside is a blog where moms and women (or anyone) can come together to discuss topics that come up in our everyday lives as mothers and women. Some topics might be silly and some might be serious - but ... most of the topics will likely be controversial - in that ... there is often strong flipside opinions that weigh heavy on either side.
I will offer the topic/question by way of asking a question and offering my opinion. There will often be a survey in the On The Flipside sidebar, relating to the question of the day that I would appreciate you take. I encourage everyone to offer their supportive or flipside (opposing) opinions on the daily subjects, in that day's comments.
On The Upside is my blog where I tell daily stories about raising my 4 children and surviving the humorous chaos of our everyday lives.
On The Flipside will be where I (we) can discuss issues of motherhood or of being a women and offer a forum to open dialog on many issues that are not always discussed freely - on a blog that is safe and respectful of others.
I look forward to seeing you On The Flipside and hearing your points of view!
