After following the awful account of indie artist Tuesday Bassen and her legal struggles with Zara , which we shared a couple weeks back, we reaffirm our ongoing, ten-year commitment to supporting small makers and original artists -- esp…
I love a Nordstrom sale, and their Anniversary Sale is no exception, because you can get great discounts on brand new items. So, if you've got a little cash stashed, here are 5 of my favorites, all fabulous fall and winter staples, if I …
We're been dedicated followers of FashionABLE for a while now. What's not to love about their sleek leather goods, gorgeous scarves, and minimalist jewelry? Plus, when you make a purchase from their website, you're providing employment t…
I admit, that while I totally rocked culottes the first time they came around, I was a little hesitant to try them again. But I have to say, that I really do love them, especially with all the short shorts every where I turn. If you're l…
I'm not even sure when I got the Baggu tote pack , but over the years (yes, it's been that long), it has been a huge travel lifesaver for me, time and time again. And even better, it's currently on super sale . This bag is an upgraded dr…
I'm so happy that wedge sandals are back in style! Because the best part of summer fashion is that it's all about being casual, breezy and relaxed, right? So, on the rare occasion when we leave the pool and I need to dress up a little mo…
This post presented in partnership with Target If you're not a total Target addict like I am (seriously, my daughter and I spent a good two hours in their Brooklyn store yesterday and I have the biceps to show for it), you may not be awa…
Nothing beats running around barefoot in the summer, until those soft little feet hit a rock or your kids refuse to go into the lake because of a few "icky" leaves on the bottom. So now is a great time to stock up on comfy and durable pa…
Sunglasses have the power to make a cute summer outfit very hot. That said, I often find myself buying cheap sunglasses hurriedly, without too much thought for style, at the point that I realize I've lost, or, uh, sat on, a go-to pair an…
I love that this year skin is...well, out. Or at least, it's a little more covered up, as we can see from the trends toward more stylized rash guards, high-waisted swim bottoms, and sexy one-pieces instead of bikinis. And let's not forge…
You may be vaguely aware that another US presidential election season is upon us, unless of course you've been sequestered in a Himalayan yurt somewhere, totally unplugged until just this very second. (In which case, hey! Thanks for maki…
With summer slip-on shoe season finally here, it's also officially stinky feet season, which is why I've been on the hunt for peds that don't suck. You know, those no-show socks that keep your feet dry while you wear your favorite TOMS ,…
'Tis the season for graduations, whether you've got a new college graduate in the family, a niece or nephew graduating from high school, or like me, a sixth grader moving up to middle school. Sniff. While so many of us are looking for ju…
If innovative baby gear is any indication, we can confidently say this is an awesome time to be expecting. My youngest just turned 6 years old, so I'm only a few years out of the baby stage, and yet there has been so much amazing change …
By now, the fashion fans among us surely know about the Pantone colors of the year , a dreamy serenity blue and a pretty rose quartz. While the colors were announced during the winter, I know I'm not generally big on pastels until the we…
How do you repay the woman who gave you endless encouragement, provided countless meals, sacrificed hundreds of hours of sleep, put a roof over your head, and stood cheering in oppressive heat or laughable rainstorms for an unforgivable …
We've been fans of Jessica Seinfeld's charity Baby Buggy for a long while now. For the past 15 years, they've provided more than 20 million essential children's supplies to low-income families in NYC and LA, and our own editor Liz is amo…
One of the coolest gift ideas I've ever seen for bibliophiles -- besides another book, of course -- is Litographs' literary tees that beautifully transpose the text of your favorite novel and print it, in its entirety, across a cotton te…
This Mother's Day I will be shopping not only for the woman who brought me into this world, but also (and for the first time ever) for my mother-in-law. Which is probably why the Like a Mom necklace from Dogeared caught my eye in a big w…
Ever had that feeling of irritable jealousy when you caught your pregnant friend still rocking cute cotton dresses and jeans without expandable waists? Yep, me too. In a blink of an eye I was in clothes that made me look like I was due a…
I've just discovered the cutest new handbag, The Kinsley Kat, and it's likely to be pouncing to the top of a few of our accessory wish lists for spring. Designer Sylvia Soo created this adorable clutch for her young niece, but its unders…
I have always loved the bright, bold patterns from the iconic Finnish design house Marimekko , and now I can refresh our summer wardrobes with some of their famously fun outfits without running up my credit card (well, too high) as Marim…
You know what they say: If you're lucky enough to be Irish, then you're lucky enough. Yet on St. Patrick's Day, we couldn't resist posting about his adorable little wishbone lucky charm from one of our favorite indie jewelry companies, J…
We're happily getting ready for kid number four at our house, and with that, a return to diapers. While I'm not exactly excited about the wiping bottoms part, again (because, really, who is?), I am excited to find a new chic diaper bag t…
