Think effortless button-downs, cool jeans, and standout dresses alongside effective skincare, glow-boosting makeup, and other essentials. Keep scrolling to discover and shop 30 chic, easy, and reliable fashion and beauty picks that I swear by as a busy mom.
Fashion
This dress is effortless, looks designer, and makes a subtle statement. A triple-win in my book.
Levi's will never let you down. These classic jeans add a cool vibe to any look.
Comfy and chic? Yes, please. They also give off major French-girl vibes.
Is this not a perfect blue button-down shirt? The styling possibilities are endless.
A timeless hoop earring always helps me feel more put-together.
This dress silhouette never fails at making you look elegant in an instant. It will become an instant go-to for your next wedding guest look.
Sleek and practical for carrying the essentials and all the random kid things I end up with.
Cashmere is forever, and this red shade makes it a standout. I love how a luxe piece is an immediate confidence-booster.
A great trench instantly elevates any look. Even a basic tee and sweatpants at school drop-off.
I fell in love with these over the summer. They are nice break from my usual Sambas.
No need to convince you of how often a white button-down will come in handy.
You can never go wrong with a classic black slip skirt. It can easily be dressed up or down, and it can be worn year-round.
Another piece you can wear forever. I want it in all three colors.
This whole look is a winner. I love the slouchy fit of the top and the contrasting colors.
I love when I find relaxed pants that are incredibly comfortable without sacrificing style.
Beauty
I am hooked on this SPF moisturizer. Not only does it provide a dewy glow, but true to its name, it serves as a solid primer.
I am obsessed. This mascara quickly thickens and lengthens my lashes in a way that doesn't look overdone. Plus, it lasts all day without flaking.
There's something so fun about this color. Plus, it keeps my lips looking plump with ease.
I am a full-coverage girl, through and through. This makes my skin look even while still looking like skin.
My cuticles are major fans of this lotion. It smells phenomenal, and it's one of my go-to gifts as of late.
This toner has 10% glycolic acid that keeps my skin clear and smooth. I have had a terrible journey with acne, and I swear a dab of this makes a breakout heal incredibly fast.
This under-eye concealer is a godsend for covering up dark circles. It makes me look like I've truly had a great night of sleep—something I don't get often.
While this might be too rich for most people year-round, my skin drinks it up during all the seasons. It's great for acne-prone skin like mine.
I use this bronzer every day both as an eye shadow and to add some color to my cheeks. It's buildable and super easy to apply.
The perfect '90s-inspired nude shade that's great for everyday wear.
This is so gentle and works wonders at getting my face clean without leaving it feeling stripped.
This has been my go-to nail polish for years. It's a true classic and always gets me compliments.
This affordable finishing powder helps me keep shine only where I want it. It's also great at minimizing the look of pores and for keeping the concealer over my pesky breakouts covered all day.
This may not be Wholesale Replica Bag of-the-moment fragrance, but I couldn't care less. The clean-smelling scent is so pretty, and I always get asked what I am wearing.
This affordable brush is great to have around since it keeps my hair looking smooth and shiny, and it helps to tame flyaways.
