I just so happened to be in a Vans store without children last weekend (dreamy, right?) and whoa, just when I thought some of my favorite shoes couldn't get any cooler, they did. If you're like me and are shopping for spring and summer s…
We have loved Pink Chicken 's beautifully made, non-fussy dresses and tunics for so many years. I remember Liz once showing off one of her favorite dresses that had been passed from child to child and was still going strong many years la…
Everything's coming up roses... and daisies and poppies and all the other flowers of springtime. And, lucky for our girls, we're seeing these fashionable florals all over the most stylish rain coats of the season. Enjoy a burst of color …
My criteria for selecting rain boots for my kids is pretty simple: The boots need to keep their feet dry. But, now that I've found Western Chief Kids' lighted boots , and I know my kids are going to be begging for their boots to do more …
My girls are ready to put away their furry boots and welcome in spring with prettier shoes in bright, sunshine-y colors. And I've found the cutest little fashion statements in Faux Pas Paris' Opera ballet flats -- new to the U.S. just in…
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…
So I get an email this weekend from Nordstrom informing me that the new spring dresses are coming in, and I have to admit, my excitement about warmer weather tends to be tempered a bit with, oh man...please tell me it's not a pencil dres…
It's hard enough to get the kids up and ready for school most days, but when your morning routine also includes a lengthy struggle with buttons and zippers, it's extra frustrating. This week, some of my friends and their fashionable tots…
When saw the new Andy Warhol Converse collection , well, mic drop. Or whatever Andy would have said twenty years ago. Which is likely nothing at all; he'd just sit and stare at them and smile. After all, if any pop artist could totally g…
We love when some of our favorite indie makers, brands, and artists find each other, and that goes for the latest announcement from our friends at Tattly . They've just introduced a new collaboration with the wonderful Anna Bond of Rifle…
If my preschooler had his druthers, all of his shirts would be emblazoned with construction vehicles or superheroes. Luckily, he doesn't have 100% control over his wardrobe, which means I can introduce fun prints and patterns. And this s…
When we I first met Susan Petersen four years ago and discovered her start-up Freshly Picked Moccasins -- well, wow. We knew her totally handmade in the US moccasins were truly special. What we didn't know is that her brand would grow in…
What is it about kids and rain boots? Given the choice, my preschooler would wear his bright red firefighter boots every day of the week -- rain or shine. Whether he's puddle jumping, playing with his classmates, or trudging through the …
Go ahead, spring. Rain on my parade. There are so many chic women's rain boots available nowadays that I'd be happy to slosh around in puddles from now until... well, maybe just May. Stylish rain boots may elevate my wet-weather ensemble…
If you look for a balance between stylish shoes for your girls, but also want something practical and durable, because you know, running and climbing and playing something I hear is called "chase the boys" that I don't want to know much …
Maybe it's because spring is officially in the air, but mamas, I am definitely in love. With a diaper bag. More specifically, with the new Mod collection from Cool Mom Picks favorite Petunia Pickle Bottom . With three modern diaper bags …
I've been holding out on you, accessory-obsessed readers, and for that I apologize. The wonderful Adorn Milk , a beautifully curated new jewelry shop from our friend Jaime Derringer of Design Milk has been up for a few weeks and I've bee…
I only have one crossbody bag in my closet, which given my bag obsession seems ridiculous, I know, but I use it so much that I think it might be time to add another, like say this new one from Angela & Roi . How convenient! I love how ea…
With all this warmer weather, I can practically taste spring, which means slowly putting away the sweaters and boots and maybe, just maybe, getting ready to add a few new pieces to my wardrobe. The kind that aren't designed primarily to …
My son hasn't pulled out his skateboard in a couple of years but that hasn't stopped him from wearing his new etnies from their Spring 2015 collection. And considering how picky he tends to be about footwear, I'd say that's nothing short…
For those of us still digging our way out of winter, it's hard to believe that spring is nearly here -- and that Easter is less than a month away. Which means it's time to start thinking about swapping our kids' Sunday sweats for their E…
We're digging our way out of the snow yet again this weekend, and I, for one, am soooo ready for spring. For the moment, however, looking at Pantone's cheery palette of spring 2015 colors will have to do. As much as we'd love designer ha…
My son has doodled on the wall, the table, and an ottoman -- by accident, of course -- so we continue to remind him that markers are for paper. But what happens when he enters the inevitable drawing-on-shoes phase of childhood? If your c…
Well, we can't all be 6-foot tall without heels, look ravishing in our zillion-dollar size zero custom designer gown, and play dress-up with some borrowed jewels that we could hock to put our kids through 35 semesters of college. At leas…
