Chic Organic Maternitywear. For Real.
Only once in my life have I encountered a woman who said, "I can’t wait to get pregnant because the maternity clothes are like SOOOO CUTE!" I think she was high. That said, the category is certainly getting more appealing by the day. One of the newer...
Pearls, Schmearls
It’s not everyone who can pull off a single strand of choker-length pearls. Maybe the hoity-toity fashion editors of the world disagree (and I’ve seen them say as much) but without that neat little bob and the Connecticut zip code to match, you might...

Summer is officially over, meaning even if it’s still 85 degrees out, I’m poking around in the jewelry box to see what’s beneath the summery bangles and turquoise rings. Yep, I’m looking for some wood. Here’s some that belongs in my...

Haute Coat-Ure
I first met Beth Miles, the designer behind San Francisco’s Ses Petites Mains label earlier in the year at a trade show, and instantly fell in love. Not with Beth per se–although she is cute–but with her absolutely inspired kids clothes. Ses Petites...

PB & J, Hold the PVC
I’m fickle when it comes to selecting a lunch box for my kids — just ask my husband how many I’ve bought, used for a week or so, and abandoned. The great new lunch totes from Lunchopolis fit all the criteria on my mile-long list. Designed by two moms...Answer Our Question of the Day: It’s Fun!
