I didn't think it was possible to love Converse sneakers any more that I already do until I stumbled upon their new line of Dr. Seuss shoes and--surprise!--my obsession continues. Now, I don't think I could get away with the adult versio…
I'm all about dressing my kids in festive attire when a holiday rolls around, but I prefer when I can put them in it well beyond that one special day. In other words, no "Happy Independence Day 2010" tees for us today. [don't miss the on…
"My baby will never wear pink," I once said. But I had to eat those words when I discovered that all those gender neutral onesies in melon, lemon, and lime made my darling, olive-skinned daughter look like a zombie. And I have pics to pr…
I've had a heart for the adorably luxe baby clothes from LA's PAIGELAUREN baby since I found them earlier this year. The sweet pastels and softer than soft cottons are exactly the kind of shower gift that steals the stage . But now I'm e…
I reluctantly retired my favorite brown leather handbag for the summer and decided to give canvas a try. And let's just say, I'm going to have a hard time going back once it starts to get cold again. Indeed this adorable houndstooth bag …
I've kept my eye on TOMS shoes for a long time, hoping for a style that might just fit my fancy over their classic flat slip on that I just don't think I can pull off. And I think I just found it in the newest member of the TOMS shoes fa…
As my poor waterlogged friends in the Pacific Northwest know all too well, June can be a wet one. It's as if Mother Nature doesn't give a hoot that we have bored little faces staring up at us waiting for summer to begin. I think it's bet…
When I got word that online boutique Shabby Apple is now promoting their dresses for women, I have to be honest, I was a bit skeptical. I like some but not all of their little girls' dresses, and on top of that, mail order clothes + chea…
With summer officially underway, I am busy getting my beach bag stocked so I can run off to the pool at a moment's notice. Along with towels, my unfashionable floppy hat and tons of sunscreen, I'm going to be including the new UV Board S…
Now that our air conditioner is blaring full force (curse you, NYC humidity!), I've finally gotten around to summer-izing the linens. I find a simple little change like switching throw pillow covers from wool to cotton or swapping out ou…
As I recently told a reader who commented on a post about maternity lingerie, we laugh when we receive size 32A nursing bras for review. Um, yeah, I'll have my four year-old try that on for you, stat. We busty girls have it harder than y…
If you needed any more evidence that denim is hot again, take a look at the new denim diaper cover I just spotted at babyGap. I love the dark wash with the slight fade on the bum, and that little pocket in back is too cute for words. It …
I have been coveting this one pair of Michael Kors slides since I slipped my feet into them at local trendanista boutique, Scoop. On three different occasions. The buttery leather and comfy flat sole coupled with the perfect shade of neu…
The season has definitely changed around here, which means I'm putting away the sweaters and long pants, and switching handbags. Of course this leads to much hand wringing considering I'm completely attached to my super great, but very w…
The premiere of Sex and the City 2 hits tonight, and the women I've talked to seem to be divided into two groups: Those who care, and those who won't admit they care -- just a little bit. I admit it! I care! I want to gawk at Aiden, and …
Ses Petites Mains has been consistently one of my favorite shops for small-label, beautifully tailored girls' clothes from designer Beth Miles. And right now, you can hit their private sale --oops, did I just make it public?-- for fabulo…
So I admit that this whole adult romper trend scares me just a little, mostly because my body is not cut out for any sort of one-piece clothing item not meant for a beach. But my daughters, on the other hand, look absolutely fabulous in …
As the air grows warmer, a slow smile spreads over my face. I'm not thinking about beach vacations or barbecues though. No, the thought balloon over my head says, Soon my kids will wear sandals , and I won't have to hunt and wash and mat…
Back when I was pregnant with my kids (you know, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth), "nursing dress" was synonymous with "giant chest flaps on something shapeless and ugly." Sad but true. So you'll have to pardon me for feeling like y…
I love all the flower-embellished accessories right now, even if it's so ubiquitous that Gap and J Crew are all over it. But so are our favorite indie labels. Take a look at this sweet hand-knit rose clutch from CMP's beloved site, Shoka…
Finding a baby hat I loved was like...well, something that was really hard. For some reason they were always too floppy, too stiff, or too cutesie (seriously, enough with the huge bows at the chin). But Rikshaw Design just nails it with …
My search for the ultimate summer sandal is on thanks to the early 80-degree weather here in the South, and I think I might have found it in Bear Feet shoes . The simple, versatile styling instantly caught my eye, and as I clicked around…
I've always adored the one-of-a-kind handmade designs from Baby Bean Vintage Daywear , which really let a little girl be a little girl. Albeit a spectacularly dressed one. Talented designer Christine Visneau (also the editor of the wonde…
Would someone I know please get married soon? And while you're at it, lend me a baby boy to bring ? Not because I actually want to carry around a baby at a wedding (what if I leave him on the buffet table when I put him down to get secon…
