I usually prefer lip balm over lipstick , but a new line of anti-aging lip products (yes, anti-aging ) is totally making me reconsider. Bite Beauty , which launched exclusively at Sephora last month, is the first lipstick line to contain…
While my belly has been massively expanding over the last eight months, my wardrobe hasn't. My pregnancy dressing tactic has been to buy a few key maternity pieces and then fudge the rest with my regular threads. Fake it 'til you make, i…
I'm a firm believer in color therapy, especially when it comes to kid's rooms . So when I saw the bold and peppy new crib bedding sets from Maclaren , which happens to be the complete opposite of their very chic and very white nursery fu…
I'm in the final stretch of my third trimester and no matter what I put on, I have a tendency to feel like, well, someone who's eight months pregnant. So when I spotted a recent pic a of a pregnant celeb with a multi-hued scarf from new …
Sometimes having a son instead of daughter can be disappointing when it comes to sartorial selections. Although our cool clothes for boys category has been blowing up with new finds in recent weeks. Now, it's the new Appaman Fine Tailori…
Relying on an SPF moisturizer alone has always worried me just a little bit. With hours of playground and beach time ahead of me this summer, I need my skin to be well protected (and to look pretty, too). But I'm a tough customer when it…
Some women are shoe shoe addicts. Not me. My vice is bags. I've got a closet full of hobos, totes, clutches and now diaper bags. Storage space is tight these days, so I've had to limit myself to just browsing designer handbags on the web…
I'm a sucker for designer collaborations, so when I heard Converse was partnering with Finnish design house Marimekko for the Converse Hearts Marimekko limited edition collection, I kicked off my All-Stars and ran to the computer to chec…
I'll be honest, I haven't used hair color out of a box since high school, which I like to refer to as my Kelly Bundy years . But I'm seriously considering now for the first time, having discovered a new line of luxury DIY hair color. Col…
Finding a meal that satisfies all members of my families is a mission impossible these days. Add a baby just starting solids into the mix and that spells H-E-A-D-A-C-H-E. But there's a new line of organic baby foods that just might do th…
Imagine a club where you receive a brand new pair of shoes hand-picked just for you, every single month. And at a killer sale price too. Dream no more. The people behind the private sample sale site HauteLook just launched a site to do t…
Chic and diaper bag are not two words you see in the same sentence very often, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and declare the new offering from Timi & Leslie just that--chic! The Charlie bag , from one of our favorite designer di…
When I heard that Boden , my favorite clothing company from across the pond was launching maternity, I felt like doing cartwheels. But, being seven months pregnant, I opted for a fist pump instead. Not only am I fan of Boden's women's co…
When the weather in New York City involves any sort of precipitation, it's hard to open an umbrella without hitting a pair of Hunter boots on the sidewalks, my own chocolate brown pair included. In fact the waterproof wellies are so ubiq…
Of the many talents I wished I possessed, crocheting is at the top of the list, right along with singing in key and being able to sketch something other than stick figures. Since I don't expect to inherit any of those talents any time so…
I love the idea of leaving sweet little notes for my son and husband on a daily basis. You know, like: You're perfect; I love you ; and Put your dirty socks in the hamper . Which is why this Chalkboard Heart from Wall Candy Arts is the p…
There's a running store on my block with a BOB stroller displayed in the window. Every time I pass it, I marvel at the lean, mean, baby-transporting machine. So when I had the opportunity to give their new 2011 Revolution SE a road test,…
I love it when a cool designer creates a less expensive line for the masses. I've swooned over the adorable styles and appealing price tags of the Stella McCartney for Gap Kids and Baby and Splendid Littles for Target lines; and now I ca…
My husband spends his spare time watching Top Chef , reading restaurant reviews and weeding through the artisanal chocolates at our local gourmet markets. So needless to say, a box of red hots isn't going to cut it for his Valentine's Da…
The harsh, dry winter weather has not been nice to my toddler son's skin. He has red, rough patches of skin on his face and his tiny lips are all chapped (sad face). I had been afraid to put any ointment on his lips until I discovered Er…
I have a drawer in the kitchen full of plastic bags. As much as I'd like to consider myself a green(ish) mom , it's the one thing I can't say no to at the grocery store. The reason? I use the bags to transport leaky sippy cups and discar…
Not sure how everyone else is feeling about their winter so far, but in my neck of the woods, the weather gods have not been kind. We've had snow, sleet, frigid temps...we're only missing hail storms. Ever since the first below 40 degree…
My son is the proud owner of a Skip Hop Zoo Backpack (a froggie, in case you were wondering), so when I found out they were making a line of tableware to match, I got excited about the idea of luring my son to dinner with something besid…
I'm one step closer to becoming a treehugger. My new toy crush is made with organic maple, cherry and walnut wood and tackles balance, problem solving, pattern recognition and fine motor skills . Oh, and it's for babies. The Brainbow Sta…
