I've had my eye on a few hot kids' trends for spring, but the one that caught my eye immediately was ombre dip dye clothes. Maybe it's because my kids' clothes are already sort of that way anyway thanks to a bunch of juice spills. (Ha.) …
When I caught that pearls are in this season as a hot jewelry trend, I much wrote them off at first because I'm really not a pearls kind of a gal. But I am a bit of a trend watcher after all, and I discovered, after a bit of searching, t…
My maternity basics during my two pregnancies pretty much consisted of black leggings (one pair I washed every other day), tees long enough to cover my belly and a couple of dresses with stretch. Everything else--blazers, button downs, h…
I've been a fan of booties, or short ankle boots, ever since I can remember. (Just take one quick look at my closet.) But they were limited to closed-toe weather months until I discovered the joys of open-toed booties. Now, they are my g…
Sexy maternity lingerie when you're pregnant or nursing? I'm on board! When I was pregnant and nursing, I always felt a little bummed about Valentine's Day; it was hard for me to feel really attractive when I ballooned up to the size of …
The idea of a stylish maternity clothing line that still fits after your nine months are up is a relatively new thing. And a welcome one. While some creative (and super fit) moms can get away with buying their normal designer faves a few…
The older we get, the more aware we are of having more mindful clothing spending habits . The hot leather pants for $300 that you'll wear for one season? Yeah, not so much. *Besides, we're not sure we have hot leather pants bodies anymor…
While I'm not looking for a return to Flashdance fashion per se, I love the new trend of seeing legwarmers and woolly knee-highs poking out of tall boots. It's not just chic, it's so practical. The boot warmer leg warmers from uber-knitt…
Need a Halloween costume and don't want to get stuck with the last Sexy Teletubby costume at the store? The good news is that with a little DIY cleverness, you might find the answer in your own closet. Or, we have an extra easy idea cour…
When we first discovered the (then) itty-bitty mom-founded Cambridge Satchel Company, who knew it would become a huge fashion phenomenon? I love that while staying true to their traditional, veddy British structure and shape, they've tak…
If the living is easy in the summertime, autumn calls for a bit more sophistication in the nail polish department. I'm pretty low-maintenance with my beauty routine , but in the fall I make a weekly effort with my manicure. And my favori…
I always get a little fashion geeky about Pantone's colors of the year, and I'm so glad to see that the Pantone colors of Fall 2013 are eminently wearable. Or, most of them are. Two of my favorites, which also go great together, are the …
You could say a few of us here have become quite the evangelists for Rent the Runway. After seeing Kristen strut her stuff on a Las Vegas business trip in two gorgeous designer dresses, I tried it myself for an event this past spring, an…
As much as I'm often running out of the house in my mom uniform of a button down shirt, jeans and ankle boots , I still love to keep up with the style trends, particularly when they're ones I can easily fit into my existing wardrobe. Eve…
There are lots of back to school kids' clothing trends that we're really liking this year, but one of them: the return of the star. The classic five-point star is showing up everywhere from the mass stores to the hottest kids' brands, lo…
featured partner One of the fun parts of fall for us is looking at all the fun new fashion trends , and getting fun ideas for our own kids. Last week we swooned over the new Ralph Lauren Kids' collection in their adorable fashion show vi…
Since I love everything Orla Kiely, I'm so glad to see this London designer out with a cool new diaper bag for moms who don't want to trade their sense of style for their sense of practicality. The Orla Kiely Baby Bag is so great looking…
One of the many things I love about online shopping is that you can find all sorts of cool hidden gems in faraway places without having to actually go there. And that's exactly what happened when I stumbled upon The Little Drom Store. No…
Over a year ago, we introduced you to The RealReal, a fabulous online designer consigment shop with incredible deals on super high-end clothes and accessories. It's blown up over the past year with a growing selection of the kinds of thi…
My obsession with stripes runs deep, so much so that I'm coveting yet another skip*hop diaper bag (love them!) even though I'm waaaay past the diaper bag stage. But...but...this one is limited edition! Snatch up the Duo Luxe French Strip…
We love prolific designer and mom Rebecca Minkoff. Love! Liz is still coveting her black and white tote and Kristen continues to drool over her mint crossbody bag . So we are beyond honored (seriously) to find ourselves interviewed this …
A passport case is one of those small indulgences I've always wanted but it never seemed necessary. But with a few international trips under my belt recently, and seeing how ratty mine is getting compared with my kids' less-used passport…
You'd have to know that the Chinese Year of the Snake, which starts on February 10, would be the perfect excuse for designers to get down with some snakeskin prints. Which is perhaps why we're starting to see the print everywhere, includ…
There's no faster way to make people say, "Wow, you look great--what's different?" than new glasses. Faster even than a haircut. Seriously. And possibly cheaper, considering there is hardly a pair over $95 on Lookmatic , including your p…
