Meet the Moms

Audrey McClellandAudrey McClelland is the mother of four young boys and co-founder/editor of MomGenerations.com. After graduating from Brown University, and fueled by her love of fashion, Audrey moved to NYC and worked for Donna Karan International for six years. Her first position was as Donna Karan's personal assistant. The experience inspired Audrey to create a fashion component for mothers on MomGenerations.com.

Drawing on her background in fashion, Audrey hosts a MomTV show, every Sunday night, called Audrey's Fashion Sense and also contributes to the Blissful Style channel on BlissfullyDomestic.com. On January 1, 2009, Audrey launched the popular series "365 Days of Fashion Advice for Moms" on MomGenerations.com, offering one piece of fashion and/or beauty advice each day, either through a blog post or a vlog.

Audrey is the beauty/style editor of Lifetime Digital's LifetimeMoms.com and was named one of the "Power Pack Moms" in Nielson's Online 2009 Power Moms list of influential online moms. She is a vlogger for Johnson & Johnson's "Real Moms" Health Channel, a member of Hanes' Social Media Comfort Crew, and a member of Frito-Lay's FAB 15. In addition, she also holds a position on Hasbro's Playskool Panel and is currently working on a new project, Daily Dose of Style, to be launched October 1, 2009. Audrey has appeared in Redbook Magazine, Conceive Magazine, Woman's World, and the Providence Journal. She has also appeared on the Rachael Ray Show, NBC 4 New York News, FOX's The Rhode Show, WBZ News Boston, and ABC News Providence.

Nicole FelicianoNicole Feliciano is a mother, writer, and parenting trend expert based in Brooklyn, NY. Admittedly style-obsessed, she spent seven years as a women's fashion executive with Polo Ralph Lauren before launching her media career.

Now she uses her keen eye to spot trends for hip families. With NYC as her playground, Nicole checks in on all the trade shows, press events and store happenings to stay on top of what's fresh and fashionable for moms and their trendy tots.

In 2007, she launched her blog, Momtrends, as a vehicle to promote the cool parenting gear she discovered while researching freelance assignments. From fashion advice for expecting moms to tips on how to cut back on bulky plastic toys, Nicole encourages families to have "more style and less stuff!" She has amassed a loyal following and has a strong presence on the blogosphere. Her second blog, Momtrendsnyc, debuted in the summer of 2009. This blog serves the stylish Big Apple parents by highlighting local shopping and kids' services as well as providing the very best in event listings.

Nicole's work can be found in print (Time Out New York Kids) and online (Babble.com, Mom Central, etc.). Her speaking engagements range from "Maternity Fashion Tips" to "Best Products Every Mom Should Have." When she's not spotting trends, Nicole loves to travel, cook, and enjoy the outdoors with her husband and two young girls.  She received her B.A. in English Literature from Vanderbilt University.
