One of my favorite things to do each year on Cool Mom Picks is look for the prettiest, sweetest, coolest girls' Easter dresses in every price. Whether or not you celebrate Easter. To me, spring is just such a long-awaited respite, that g…
If you've been putting off buying new spring clothes for your growing-like-a-weed child because they find most clothes too scratchy, tight, or rough, check out Soft clothing , a brand we've loved since they launched. And get ready to sto…
If you've been searching for a fun, vibrant watch that looks just the way you--or your kids--want it to, we found it. Visit Modify Watches , a small business specializing in custom watches that lets customers to mix-and-match from over 3…
One of my favorite trends for kids this spring, besides the whole dip-dye ombre look, is floral clothes. Normally I think of them as a little twee, but what I'm seeing is bold, fun without frills, and nothing like what Laura Ingalls wore…
Even as cold as it still is in my neck of the woods, my three girls are insistent on wearing skirts and dresses, which means leggings and tights are a must. I've definitely seen my fair share of cool tights for girls , but since discover…
We try not to play favorites (too much) but we admit to cheering loudly the second Lupita Nyong'o hit the Oscars red carpet in that stunning sky blue Prada dress accessorized with a fabulous gold and diamond headband--right through her w…
Getting my kids to wear socks indoors takes some serious convincing on my part. They love being being barefoot regardless of how cold the floor is. But the new animal rival Vs. Socks for kids from Hooray Hoopla have finally given them re…
When I was a teen, there was no such thing as an iTunes gift card. No, we had to walk both ways to Turtles and work our fingers to the bone making mix tapes. It's just as hard today to find a gift for a teen girl that says "I understand …
Are you sick of the cold yet? It's snowing in the deep south. Pigs are flying. Brrr. So, in our house, instead of dolls or video games, the thing my daughter is begging for at the moment is earmuffs. Kinda sad, but not when mama finds ki…
Tis the season to scurry to the web and take advantage of all the great designer kids' clothes that are starting to go on sale. At least here, we've got a good four months left of sweater weather and then some. A new shop to add to your …
One of our favorite things about our job is tracking down the coolest kids' clothes, whether it's casual tees, trendy but affordable pieces, or the splurgey stuff that makes you yearn for four more kids for hand-me-downs. You'll find all…
My girls have vowed to stay up late enough to see the ball drop this New Year's Eve, but their plans are bigger than that. Evidently they have also planned to dress up, wear fancy shoes, and I think I heard murmuring about tiaras (and kn…
Don't miss an exclusive discount for our readers ! I once feebly resisted my children's love for tutus, until I realized that they could be way more than the beginnings of a fairy princess outfit. Tutus are now on trend as outerwear, as …
I've been smitten with Wunway since I discovered their lovely, KID-appropriate clothes (it's true) for girls earlier this year. Since my 9-year old picks out her own outfits these days, I thought I'd let her browse the site and share her…
My daughter is at that sweet age where she's still fascinated by all things "fancy," which equals "grown-up" to her six-year-old mind. She loves a great fairy tale, but she's getting a little tired of the damsels in distress. So I'm sooo…
We discovered mom-run Myself Belts back in 2006 (wow), and it's awesome to see how they've grown. They make a brilliant line of first belts for toddlers, especially during the potty training months. You know what I'm talking about. And n…
I will never be the mom who gets my tween daughter a Tiffany anything (besides maybe a charm for her charm bracelet that I'm still holding onto for her) but on the other end, I'm admittedly about those $4 necklaces that are probably made…
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…
My girls have hit the age where they like to have their own purses. Well, we'll use that term loosely, considering what they put in them. While I've given them my share of hand-me-down handbags , I know they'd adore the sweet handmade li…
This is precisely the time each year that I realize my oldest daughter has outgrown all her summer dresses (grrr) and that her younger sister is not quite ready to reap the benefits. So looking at the adorable new dresses from Wunway, I'…
Clothes might make the (little) man, but there's something about cool hats, sunglasses and other accessories that can dial up the wardrobe a notch. Who says girls get to have all the fun? Browsing around at one of my favorite cool-kid in…
As someone who hates going out without sunglasses on, I'm sure I'm not the only one whose kids have inherited my sensitive eyes. I'm also sure I'm not the only parent to have had that experience where we broke down and bought the cheapie…
Today is World Autism Awareness Day. Although most people are probably pretty aware of autism, more needs to be done to raise both money for research and family aid, and to foster better understanding of kids (and adults) who are tired o…
