I started things off by answering a reader question about finding the perfect beach wedding dress.
And then I tried out a new trend Madonna was sporting last week- with disastrous results.
I'll be posting on The Stir between two and three times a day, so check in often!

Big News
As many of you know, I started this blog on a whim during my kids' Christmas break last year. I had been searching fruitlessly for a style blog I could relate to- and when I couldn't find one, I decided in the space of about five minutes to start my own.
I started this blog knowing that there was an excellent chance it wouldn't last longer than a week or two... that no one would read it... that people would tell me I didn't know what I was talking about... that I would get tired of it.
But something entirely different happened. For one thing I absolutely loved writing it. It provided the most delicious escape and putting posts together never, ever got old. For another, a lot of people were reading it-- more people than I had ever dreamed would.
I would love to write this blog for a living, I thought to myself. I would be so happy if I got paid to write these posts. This is a lot of work, but it's so much fun. This would be the perfect job...
Oprah would call this an "A-ha!" moment... But for me, it was more of a "Duh!" moment.
A few e-mails and one proposal later? I have the perfect job.
Starting Monday, She's Still Got It will move to Cafe Mom, the number one mom's site on the Internet. The content will be the same (but there will be more of it) and I'll still have a dedicated page over there with all of my posts.
The big difference? I'll be getting paid to do what I love.
"This is so awesome," I told my husband the other day as I flipped through a fashion magazine. "I can read fashion magazines now without feeling guilty. Because I'm doing research."
You can bet I'll be doing some important "research" at the mall as well. Heh.
Don't worry about the logistics- For those of you who visit from Twitter and Facebook, I'll link you straight to my posts on Cafe Mom's "The Stir" pages. And there will be links here, too. It should be a pretty seamless transition.
And I couldn't be more excited.
Have a great weekend, everyone! I'll see you on Monday over at Cafe Mom!

Deal of the Day: A Jessie Steele Apron Featured in SATC 2!
A couple of weeks ago, I featured Jessie Steele aprons in my Mother's Day gift guide post. (Did you catch that one? If not, go read it, because it contains several great gift ideas that are perfect for moms, relatives, girlfriends, you name it.)Anyway, I've been a fan of Jessie Steele's deliciously retro aprons for years- I have one, my daughter has a matching one (I KNOW!) and I've given them as gifts. As it turns out, I was onto something. Something big.

Help Desk: Can a Preschool Teacher Be Stylish AND Realistic?
Today's Help Desk question comes from Meghan:
I am a preschool teacher, at a Christian school, and we have a very strict dress code. We must dress professional, business casual, but I'm running around with kids all day, so I need comfort and wash-ability when it comes to clothes. We must wear closed toed shoes, or sandals with straps (no heels). We can wear pants, capris, and the occasional dark denim jean, skirts and dresses, but they must come down to at least our knee. Shirts must have sleeves, must not be too tight, can't be revealing (at all), and need to be cool, as it is about to be summer time in Texas, and we spend a lot of time outside. I usually wear a pair of khakis, a fitted t-shirt made of a nicer material than a regular tee, a cardigan, and loafers. Boring. If I'm feeling exciting, I'll wear a skirt, sandals, and a blouse... with a cardigan. I have a huge walk-in closet full of clothes- mostly basics, but for some reason, I can't put together an outfit that is stylish for work. I'm starting to look like my kindergarten teachers- I'm afraid holiday vests and ankle length denim skirts are around the corner. :(

Hair You Can Have: "The Onion"
My hair is stick straight. If the humidity is low, I can use hot rollers or a curling iron and get some results. If the humidity is high, fuggedaboutit.
So it was with great trepidation that I took the advice of a fashion magazine recently (which I now have misplaced, consarn it). The article instructed me to twist my freshly-washed wet hair and coil it like an onion on the top of my head. In the morning, I'd wake up with luscious waves.

Consumer Report: Ideeli
I wrote a few months ago about those invitation-only shopping sites, like Rue La La, Haute Look, Gilt Groupe and Ideeli. Most of these sites give you a $10 credit for each person you referred to the site that ends up making a purchase. Ideeli.com gives you a $25 credit. Ideeli is also my favorite of the invitation-only sites because it features designers I like (today for example? Pucci shoes!) that quite often are under $100. It has been popular with you guys, too, because in no time flat, I found myself with a $75 Ideeli credit.I waited around until I found a sale I liked and finally used it on these amazing sandals by Lovely People. They were originally something like $159, on sale for $64, and with $10 shipping, my total came to $74. Which means it was 100% free.

Right This Moment: Starlets Channel The Great Gatsby
Okay, so the annual Costume Institute Gala took place at the Met in NYC a few nights ago- It doesn't get nearly as much publicity as the Oscars, but it's just as much fun to see what all the starlets were wearing when the pictures are posted the next day.
This time, I couldn't help but notice a certain similarity in hairstyles- one I think you'll find interesting.
