I know it's hard to get excited about tote bags, but trust me, when they come from one of our favorite children's labels, we do get a little excited knowing now they make something we moms can wear too. The new totes from Winter Water Fa…
So many times I wish that my favorite kids designers were designer for us adults too. And now--hello! Thank you, kit +lili! I'm loving their line for adults, including beautiful dresses , flowy peasant tops in bold modern patterns, and c…
Sometimes I picture myself like in a movie scene, on the back of a shiny turquoise scooter (yes, in my fantasy it's turquoise, okay?), silk scarf in my hair, cruising around Europe without a care in the world. That's not likely to happen…
It's sleek, sporty, and goes from backpack to messenger bag in less than thirty seconds. But, unlike those $60,000 convertibles, it won't mess up your hair, and you probably won't swallow a bug while using it. Oh, and it's called Annie. …
Does this rainbow umbrella design look familiar? It probably does--it's just one of the designs you'll find over at Threadless , which recently teamed up with Cool Mom Picks favorite Baggu to produce a whole series of recycled cotton can…
I realize that school is now in full swing, but if you have yet to find the perfect lunch box, or if your house is the mysterious Bermuda Triangle of lunch bags like mine, you can't have too many reusable lunch bags . Particularly if the…
I'm off to the park and I have my twelve-month-old in one arm, diaper bag on my shoulder, another hand holds the sand toys, my three-year-old needs my hand to get down the stairs and maybe we'll need a blanket to sit on... wait, I'm out …
Cool Mom Picks favorite Poketo has a very simple philosophy: Make real art available to everyday people. Which is good, because I'm at my local SuperTarget pretty much every day, and that's where their latest collection will land on Augu…
In the summer, I tend to let my handbags go a little more casual and a little less structured. Messenger bags can do the trick, but frankly, I don't want to look like a messenger. [ don't miss the giveaway after the jump!] That's where M…
With a Caribbean business trip coming up (I know, cry for me) I started looking into cute little summery bags. Something just big enough for a room key, a camera and maybe a little scarf for my shoulders should the breeze fall below oh, …
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 …
We're huge fans of the Dante Beatrix backpacks for almost too many reasons to mention--the eco-friendly materials, the perfect toddler sizing, the adorable designs. How's that for a start? Now the company is simply named Beatrix NY. And …
With the reusable tote bag phenomenon in full swing, there are a lot of options out there, from the $.99 bags at the grocery store -- that fall apart after a few weeks' use by the way -- to reusable bags that are organic, well made, and …
We're already huge fans of the kids' backpacks from Dante Beatrix as we already revealed (again) this week, so it's not surprising that they've got some new items we're adding to the must-have-it-NOW-NOW-NOW list. First of all, their new…
Say that you need a giant-sized tote bag for the beach next weekend -- or if you're a family of geeks like mine, your library books -- and you're just not the preppy major-label canvas tote type. And say that you not only want something …
With three kids, I've got to have toys up my sleeve any time we head out or risk the consequences--or better, bring along a fabulous Discovery Tote from Helicopter Studios . Artist and mom Shannon Duffy originally created these imaginati…
I am very happy to get wind of Baggu bags , the reusable shopper that comes in colors so fabulous, it's all the evidence you need that this eco-bag thing is not a trend going away anytime soon. CMP is an rstyle affiliate The swanky nylon…
