👋🏽 INTRO POST! 👋🏽

Hey everybody! Nice to meet you.

My name is Alicia, otherwise known as Madtown Momma.

I am a full time workin’ mom sharing lifestyle content about my life in Madison, WI.

I live with my husband, preteen son, and older dog.

We love shopping and dining locally, and exploring all that Madison, the Midwest, and the great state of Wisconsin have to offer.

You will often find us out at a neighborhood festival, community event, or new restaurant.

I am generally an XL/XXL/1X, 14, 16, 14W and have a passion for fashion.

If that sounds like something you are interested in, follow along as I navigate life as a Madison mom in style!

I don’t wear make up everyday. In fact it’s pretty rare and usually only for shoots or date nights.

But when you are being featured in a training video for work, that calls for a little make up in lieu of a fresh face.

Get ready with me as I apply a natural look and get camera ready!

The bronzer was #gifted by Amazon in exchange for my honest review.

My exact lip stain and brush set are no longer available.

I received this dress for free in exchange for my honest review on Amazon. #gifted

The quality is great and it would be easy to dress it up for an event. It comes in a few different colors as well.

I sized up to an XXL since I’m big busted and broad shouldered and it fits just right.

Trying the new Rizo’s Curls Curl Custard for wash day. When I try a new product, I only use that as a styler. No leave in or cocktailing so I can see there results.

What do you think?

Picked up both this puff sleeve sweatshirt and wide leg front pocket utility jeans with my birthday coupons from both @madewell and @evereveofficial (#everevepartner).

I have these same jeans in a different wash so it seemed fitting to grab another color.

I’m wearing an XL in the top and a 14 in the jeans.

Plus the top is an extra 50% off right now with code: LONGWEEKEND.

The jeans are on sale too!

I’m so excited that it finally feels like fall and I can whip up some fall ‘fits!

Ben Stiller’s new soda is absolutely delicious! #gifted

Makes for a fun mocktail and there are a couple of other flavors as well. I haven’t tried those yet, just the Shirley Temple.

Just got this floral midi dress from Loft this week. It’s the perfect fall transitional piece with the length of the sleeve and dress, along with the darker floral pattern.

I paired it with some classic Frye harness boots for a bit of a cowgirl vibe. Which also feels appropriate for October.

How would you wear this? Let me know in the comments!

These Kut from the Kloth jeans are still the ones I reach for the most, even a couple years later. I am an #everevepartner @evereveofficial but bought these with my own money independent of a collab with them.

They are still available as well! I’m wearing a size 14. They fit TTS.

They come in a few different styles a well.

This is the softest lounge/activewear I’ve ever worn! #gifted

I found it at Divine Consign, a consignment sale in Wisconsin as part of a collab with them.

The hoodie now comes in a half zip or track jacket version. The wide leg pants are available in several colors, though this one is no longer available.

I’m wearing a 1X in both.

Here are some of the books on my To Be Read shelf.

I am a big fan of all of these authors and have read at least one of each of their books in the past.

DISCLAIMER: I’m not a doctor, or a chiropractor, so do not take anything I say as medical advice. This is based solely on my own experience.

I’ve been using this cervical neck pillow for the past few months after I woke up with severe neck pain after sleeping one day.

It’s been really helpful for me because it’s designed to keep things in alignment whether you sleep on your back, stomach, or side. I don’t think the pillow I was using previously had enough support and was actually too big and poofy for how I sleep.

It looks weird, but this works for me. So hopefully it will work for you too if you struggle with a periodic stiff neck as well.

Worth a try!

DISCLOSURE: while I have received other items for free from Amazon in exchange for my honest review, I purchased this on my own,

Adidas tennis shoes just never seem to go out of style. They are a classic!

I have the same style in blue and pink as well!

This magnetic fruit basket and shelf has been so helpful to have in my small kitchen! #gifted

We don’t have a ton of pantry or cabinet space so are always looking for space saving hacks to maximize what we do have.

The optional hanging hooks can be used for bananas, potholders, aprons, etc.

We hung it right on the fridge. But you could use it in the laundry room too if needed.

I have been using a white noise machine to help me sleep because perimenopause has got me all messed up! I haven’t slept since my son was born basically. And that was 10 years ago now. 😬

If you also have trouble falling or staying asleep, a white noise machine can help drown out noise and calm you down to improve your sleep.

Worth a try if you struggle like me. It works for kids and babies too!

One thing I do is steam my outfit every morning before getting dressed. Which means a high quality garment steamer is an absolute MUST. #gifted

I was gifted this one from Amazon in exchange for my honest review.

It is easy to use, lightweight, and portable. Plus has the built in iron service to help get wrinkles out more efficiently than with steam alone.

If you don’t already have a clothes steamer, you need one! I find it quicker and more efficient than ironing.

This one comes in both black and white as well.

My late summer Saturday style. #gifted

This casual balloon sleeve top was gifted from Amazon in exchange for my honest review.

The top is a XXL.

Now that September is here, it’s officially soup season!

That rumpled fresh out of bed look. #gifted

Every time I wear this matching sweater set I like it even more though.

Cute and modest enough to wear around friends and family when not at home, and also to run a quick errand or grab coffee if you need to before getting dressed.

My kind of outfit.

It comes in 10 other color ways. I’m wearing an XL.
