Tatted-Up Moms... New Trends

Wow what a weekend! I hung out with the ladies of LLM mentoring program, shopped, and went for sushi (YUMMY) with my friend.

Since my daughters 2nd birthday is coming soon I thought (emphasis on I thought) of getting a tattoo symbolizing her. My best friend sent me a link of a few bad "A" moms and them showcasing their tattoos; SO I thought I would share it with you and get your comments.

Angelina Jolie- She has all 6 of her children on her...BTW-this is a badddd dress :)

Victoria Beckham (I love her hair cut!)

Heidi Klum with Seal's name and her childrens initials...i'm sure this will change some with the recent news. :)

Even though Beyonce doesn't have a tattoo (that the public knows of yet) I'm sure she would be a candidate. I was having a little fun with bandanas and tried to replicate one of her pics. It just shouted SuaveHaus-M.I.L.F (MotherInLovewithFashion) to me.

Would you recommend a tattoo? If so, what should I get?

*Closed*

Oh and most of all....SHOUT OUT to TERRI for winning the first SuaveHaus Mommy&Me giveaway! I hope she enjoys it and THANK YOU for participating!!!

STAY POSTED FOR FUTURE GIVEAWAYS!

2011 vs. 2012 "New Way of Thinking"- My bets are on 2012...

Happy New Year Fam!!! This year will be "The" year as my mom would say...

Several people have asked what is SuaveHaus??? Great question! SuaveHaus is for Fun, Fearless and Fashionable Females who are Mothers. It is no secret that I enjoy fashion or simply put how clothes make you feel. The purpose for me creating this blog is to showcase some of my ideas of contemporary sheek styles that will make you feel like you own the room. There are tons of blogs out here but very little geard towards young mothers (like me) keeping their SWAG after they have their children.

This is a movement for young women and mothers to stand up and feel empowered in how you look and the way you feel when you wear it. Check out some of my looks below and feel free to comment. :)
