Who can't live without their Hunter Boots , raise your hand? (Oh look! It's my entire Brooklyn Neighborhood!) While they're not the snowboots that my Sorel boots are, I adore the versatility of my Hunter Boots, which are the perfect well…
There are a few items worth splurging on in your life, and as I've learned the hard way, an awesome pair of warm, sturdy, comfy winter boots is one of them. At least if you're not in LA where everyone seems to drag out the UGGs in 65-deg…
Ooh, well what a nice surprise to click over to one of my favorite jewelry sites, Charm & Chain, and discover they're offering an additional 20% off their sale jewelry right now. Happy new year to me. This is good stuff, too. Like the co…
Since moving up north after almost ten years enjoying mild southern winters, I have become addicted to chunky scarves, like these snood scarves from IRISMINT on Etsy which I'm pretty sure I'd wear non-stop until spring. Each piece is mad…
Having three babies in the winter means I spent three Decembers struggling with whether or not I should invest in a maternity winter coat I would only wear for a month or two. Same with holiday party dresses. It was such a shame to buy c…
The first thing I notice about the keepsake lockets from the brand new company, With You, is how pretty and sweet they are—in fact, we listed them as one of our holiday gift ideas for a special mother-in-law or grandmother in our gift gu…
We love personalized jewelry which makes such a special gift, but buying personalized jewelry--or personalized anything, really--also means planning ahead, especially at the holidays. And hey, sometimes we parents aren't able to look fur…
When you think hot holiday dresses, you probably imagine your budget flying out of the window. And if you're like me, you'd rather save the money for holiday gifts and not necessarily drop a couple hundred dollars on a dress you might on…
I have no specific name brand requirements for the bags that I carry. As long as it's stylish, functional and well-made, I'm happy. And even happier if it happens to give back to great causes, which is exactly what happens when you buy a…
I'm closing in on seven months pregnant and the chill in the air is leaving me with the dilemma: Do I buy a winter maternity coat when all I want is to make my own super cozy coat work for the few months I will really need it? I love all…
It used to be that you couldn't find funny reusable grocery bags . Back when we started seeing them blow up for the first time, if anything at all was printed on them, it was usually some chest-beating statement about how super eco-frien…
We're always so excited to find nursing tops that are cute enough to wear beyond the confines of our bedroom. We're also huge fans of double duty maternity/nursing tops, because who wants to invest in multiple tops that you'll wear for s…
It used to be that the idea of designer accessories under $100 was an oxymoron, but these days it's increasingly not the case. Personally, I'm polyamorous--when it comes to my accessories that is--because if it looks fabulous, I don't re…
I've got a very particular formula for selecting hot designer bags , which includes style, function, and versatility. Because as much as I love those super tiny crossbody bags with spikes, if I'm dropping a pretty penny on it, I need to …
Recently I was honored to attend the ONE.org Girls & Women Initiative's AYA Summit , in which my eyes were opened to so many remarkable ways that people devote their lives to women and girls around the world who are disproportionately af…
If I put it out into the universe that I really like personalized jewelry gifts, do you think people will get the hint? If not for me, then for everyone else--perhaps the special people on your own holiday lists, especially when it's all…
When I first moved to New York City I quickly realized that good shoes and socks are a must in this town of walking, walking, walking. Since then I have become something of a sock connoisseur. Seriously. I need socks that are stylish, co…
Your little girl might be too young to wield a power saw, but she can learn to appreciate the craft of woodworking at any age with, of all things, tiny architectural jewelry . I'm impressed by the Joinery Series earrings from Pico Design…
So maybe you're wondering the best ways to wear plaid because you're seeing it everywhere and you're a little tempted but it is kind of preppy and you're just not sure since the last time it was hot you were in college and..h ey! Get out…
I realize that kale does not need any more positive publicity these days, but now it's not only super healthy and delicious (mostly, anyway) but it's funny too, thanks to this reusable grocery tote bag at West Elm. Especially perfect for…
I have to admit that I've loved wearing cool camouflage clothing and accessories even before they were all over the runways. Now it's everywhere you look. If you shy away from camouflage because it seems a bit outdoorsy for your taste, y…
I popped over to my local lingerie shop to stock up on some new Hanky Panky thongs for fall (What, TMI? We're all friends here!) and I spotted the new Spanx faux leather leggings on the owner. Instantly I was all What are those fabulous …
So you should know a couple of things about me right off the bat. I live in jeans all fall and winter, like every single day. And I will happily spend a fair amount of money on them if I find a pair that fit me really well, which after h…
If you love the written word, if you're an avid supporter of your local library , or if you think Fahrenheit 451 should be required reading for anyone over the age of five, you might already know that this is the start of Banned Books We…
