Sarah here! Today is #NationalWorkingParentsDay and from one working mama to another, I just want to say... I see you and you’re doing great! I know how much you’re juggling putting in a full work day, prepping lunches, bedtime routines with a toddler, carting teenagers to and from sports, trying to meet growing demands at work, learning new technology for school and work at home, and so much more! What’s your biggest challenge as a working parent? What’s your biggest feeling of accomplishment? #themodernmamanista #motherhood #womensupportingwomen #bossbabes #superheroes
Kristy here! It’s #NewYorkFashionWeek and I don’t know about you, but after months of shelter in place and work from home, I’m ready for a little bit (or a lot) of glam! Pop the Champagne because with runway shows going virtual this year, it’s finally your chance to catch a “front row” seat for all the pomp and circumstance. We’re sharing some of our favorite show-stopping looks in stories, and I just may have to break out this “Best of” elimination look from @laboroflovefox ❤️ #Glam #GetDressedUp #Fashion #themodernmamanista #TMM #laboroflove #FashionWeek
It’s #NationalDayofEncouragement (which we think should be everyday!), so we’re inviting you to share your favorite uplifting quote, how you boost your spirits when you need it most, or to give a shoutout to a special mamanista who could use a little pick-me-up ❤️ We see you, we hear you, and we’re so happy you’re here!!! 🙏🏻 #TMM #laboroflove #themodernmamanista #womensupportingwomen #quotes #sisters
Being on campus with my students during a pandemic means I need washable but professional #teacheroutfits This Vintage Havana Navy Dip Dye Sweatshirt Dress from @socialthreads is the answer! Comfortable and easy to pair with this season’s popular wallies or a pair of my fave statement sneakers this dress passes the test! 🍎✏️
As Cinderella will tell you, the right pair of shoes can change your life. In 2020, we’re just hoping the right pair of shoes will take us from #zoomedout to #bossbabe and #supermom faster than we can say #pumpkinspicedlatte New post on the blog now. Link in bio 🧡
Kristy here! For those of you who don’t know, I recently starred in a new reality show @laboroflovefox showcasing the life of a modern career women who is single and still wants to become a mother. I am so proud of this project because it is a story that really needed to be told, and an issue many women today are facing. I love that Sarah and I have entered motherhood at different points in our lives. I think it gives us great perspective and the ability to relate to so many Mamanistas out there! We are in this together, and love learning from all of you and hearing your different ideas and perspectives. One surprise element of the show was the outpouring of requests I got about my wardrobe (I have to admit, it was pretty fabulous!!!) ❤️ So let’s start at the beginning... I’ve linked similar looks to this style (plus my other outfits from Episode 1) on the blog (link in bio) 💕 I can’t wait to hear which looks are your favorites?! Comment below if you’re looking for a specific item that I wore on the show. And if you love our style, join our Facebook group “Online Fashion Finds” (link in bio) where we share links to all of our favorite fashion finds every week. Missed the show?

Kristy here! It’s #NationalCheesePizzaDay and being from Chicago, you know I know pizza! If I had to go straight up cheese, I’d go for the Neapolitan style pizza from @eatalychicago ❤️ But, I have some more great recommendations for you! Contrary to popular opinion, most Chicagoans prefer thin crust to deep dish (I might get some push back on this, but I stand by that statement 😉). That being said, if I’m going deep dish, it’s gotta be @loumalnatis! But if you want to know my absolute favorite place(s) to grab a pie, it’s @aureliospizza and @pizanospizzachi 🍕 I’ll even take it one step farther and share my favorite topping combinations at each! At Aurelio’s (known for their secret sauce), I recommend sausage, pepperoni and giardiniera (yep, that’s another Chicago thing), while at Pizano’s (known for their famous butter crust), I get pepperoni, pineapple and green olives (trust me, it’s fantastic)🍍What’s your favorite pizza place or topping combo?! Don’t know about you, but we’re definitely ordering delivery tonight!!! #themodernmamanista #TMM #momlife #chicago #chicagopizza
Kristy here! By now it’s no secret that The Mamanistas are big fans of @margaretmcanada ❤️ Their pants and skirts are perfect for work (especially work from home) because they are SO comfortable while still being very professional. I snapped up this navy skirt with lemons as soon as I saw it! 🍋 I mean, how adorable is it?! I wanted to show-off an alternative to just wearing this cute pencil skirt for work by pairing it with a silky lace-trimmed cami. You could easily throw a jacket and pair of pumps on to make this look work appropriate (with a cute option for after work plans). Honestly, though, this skirt has become one of my favorite casual options! I love to pair it with a jean jacket or a knotted white t-shirt and fashion sneakers for a super cute and comfortable look on the run! #MargaretM #MMSkirts #BossBabe #GirlOnTheRun
Sarah here! I don’t know about you, but I’m beginning to see polka dots making a bit of a comeback lately! This polka dot dress from @stitchfix is one of my very favorites. This dress easily stands on its own, but looks great paired with your favorite denim jacket and a pair of wedge sandals like these @VinceCamuto espadrilles. Shop the look with Stitch Fix and Favorite Amazon Picks links in bio 🛍️ #stitchfix #stitchfixstyle #amazonprime #falltransition
Sarah here! There’s a joke amongst my family that my husband @joe_gross_philly and I never sleep (aka might be vampires)! In non-COVID times, my over planning and his case of #FOMO means we are always on the move checking out something new. COVID has slowed us down a bit, but @kristykatzmann and I have decided that’s all the more reason to highlight some of our local faves each month. This month, I’m sharing a few of my local Atlanta favorites on the blog (link in bio). I’m covering jewelry, fashion and the great outdoors, and I promise, these recommendations are sweeter than a Georgia 🍑 #BlessYourHeart #PasstheSweetTea
Kristy (and my cute fashionista niece) here! Rocking this pretty skirt from @socialthreads today! I love how comfortable it is for daily wear while still allowing me to feel a little bit fancy (which is my preferred state of mind). I’ve dressed it down for casual comfort, but also love to kick it up a notch by pairing it with a black bodysuit, leather jacket, kitten heels, and a cute belt or gold statement jewelry! Love this look? You better hurry, because it’s on MAJOR sale and selling out fast ❤️ #socialthreads #OOTD #elevatedcasual #playingdressup #laboroflove #stgal #threadspotting
Kristy here! Today is a day near and dear to my heart because it’s #WomensEqualityDay ❤️ Supporting women and teaching girls confidence, independence and self-worth to give future generations more opportunity is my mission in life. Recently I’ve done a lot of work in this regard, really identifying my values and moving forward in life with those parameters in mind. Organizations that support women and develop leadership skills in girls have a special place in my heart. Here are a few of my favorites... @girlsinc, @girlupcampaign, @girlforwardgram, @vitalvoices, @dressforsuccess, @together.rising, @sanctuary_project (they also make the prettiest jewelry) and @cbscholarship 💕Do you have favorite organizations or charities you support? What impact do you hope to make with your life? What causes mean the most to you? We’d love to hear your thoughts below! And while you’re at it, tag a #bossbabe making a difference in your life and beyond 🙏🏻#girlsruletheworld #thefutureisfemale
Sarah here! I miss traveling places and outdoor adventures! So much has been cancelled in 2020, but this suit definitely gives me hope of better travel days ahead! Fits TTS, but cut high in the back. Shop the look in bio by clicking “Amazon Faves” and this suit is yours! 🛍️ #fashionbloggers #styleinfluencers #OOTD
As an educator, I’m always on the hunt for cute and comfortable #teachershoes and these @SteveMadden shoes pass the test! 📝 The slight platform adds comfort and the white contrast sole makes these sandals super trendy. Wear them to school then keep them on for #datenight ❤️ Shop the look in bio under “Amazon Favorites” 🛍️ XOXO, Sarah #fashionbloggers #styleinfluencers #OOTD
Sarah here! If you’ve known me long enough, you know I have a long-standing love affair with leopard print! This pleated leopard skirt is easy to pair with a black or white tank for #datenight or layer on a favorite denim jacket. Shop a similar skirt in “Amazon Prime Top Picks” or from the blog post, links in bio 🛍️
Kristy here! Smoothies, protein shakes and juices are favorites when looking to clean up your diet, but what do you choose and when? A smoothie can be a great way to sneak in extra nutrition (vitamins, minerals and fiber) or a healthy snack. You can use frozen fruit and add half a banana or avocado to thicken up the texture and make it feel more like a treat. Try adding a scoop of greens powder when you want to amp up the nutritional benefits even more. Protein shakes are great for after a workout if you’re looking to build muscle or to substitute a meal. Just add a scoop or two of protein to your favorite smoothie and you’re all set! Now what about juices? I start every morning with celery juice which is a simple way to promote healing and detoxification. If you want to learn more about the benefits of celery juice, check out @medicalmedium. And if you’d like specific product recommendations for protein, greens and other supplements, check out the link in my @kristykatzmann bio (“shop my fave health & beauty products”) ❤️🌿
Sarah here! As an educator, face masks have become a part of my daily work uniform. Wearing a face covering for 8-10 hours a day definitely took some adjustment and lots of trial and error to find styles and brands that fit! Some move when you breathe, some require constant fiddling and some are just plain hot. I’ve found masks that are slightly cut out under my eyes and made of a poly/cotton or rayon blend are more comfortable and easier to breathe in than the knit cotton versions. Clipping my sides back also helps cool me down during afternoon carpool in the Georgia heat! These face masks from @margaretmcanada are my current fave! They come in so many pretty patterns and the fabric is just as magical as my go to Margaret M slimming pants. Also check out our post on The Modern Mamanista Blog (link in bio) for my other favorite mask finds! #MargaretM #TeacherLife #TeacherOOTD #BacktoSchool #MaskUp #EssentialWorker
Sarah here! In March I started seeing white Birkenstocks trending on my favorite blogs. I loved the look but wasn’t sure it was “me” so I bought these under $25 WTW White Sandals from @Amazon instead. Little did I know that 5 months of a pandemic and working from home were ahead and these would be my favorite purchase of 2020! I’ve literally worn them every day since March!
