Does a nursing bra equal bliss? Relatively speaking, yes.

by Kristen Chase | Baby, Fashion

We, like everyone else in the world, have long been fans of Bravado! bras and their well-priced, comfortable nursing bras. But with the launch of their new Bliss Maternity Bra, I think they definitely upped the ante. I’m a huge fan of soft-cup nursing bras,...

Scottish moors and candy shops, now by your sink

Happy birthday, bras!

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Fashion

The good old over the shoulder boulder holder is turning a whopping 100 today, and to thank her (is it a she? he? it?) for her amazing support (ahem) throughout the years, we thought it would be fun to round up a few of our favorite nursing bras for you expectant and...

Saying no to gladiator shoes

by Cool Mom Team | Fashion

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 neutral made it tops on my casual...

Sex and the City 2, and a peek into the wardrobe of my dreams

by Cool Mom Team | Fashion

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 marvel at...

The perfect little black (and white) maternity dress

by Mir | Baby, Fashion

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...

Cashmere out, yak hair in

by Liz Gumbinner | Fashion

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, Shokay. It’s soft...

Let them wear Cake lingerie

by Kristen Chase | Baby, Fashion

Considering I have nursed for a total of 53 months since 2004 (yes, I counted), I have learned a few things about breastfeeding; one of which is that a good nursing bra is definitely worth the money. Now these days, “good nursing bra” isn’t...

Can Skindinavia make you look 10 years younger? Well now…

by Cool Mom Team | Beauty + Cosmetics

I will say, when you name a product 10 Years Younger Makeup Finish, the bar is pretty high. Not that I’m expecting Botox in a handy spray form, but you know. Ten years. That’s a lot of years younger. For those of us with not-twenty-year-old skin, this...

Gilt Groupe goes maternity. Whoo!

by Delilah S. Dawson | Baby, Fashion

Do you ever have that dream–the one where you go to a big, magical store, and everything is shiny and pretty and on a 50% off sale? I do, and I’m usually riding a glittery pink unicorn with shopping baskets as saddle bags. That’s why I’ve been...

Keepsake lockets for moms take a fabulous turn

by Delilah S. Dawson | Fashion

Motherhood is more about the journey than the finish line– although I admit I dream of the day they’re in college and I can have a white couch. Motherhood is an adventure. It’s chaotic, muddled, and beautiful. It’s anything but static. This...
