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...
Solid!

Solid!

Why is it that I can find the greatest quality shirts chock full offunny sayingsand funky patterns–but the solid shirts in stores are limited to the mall store’s two featured ugly colors of the season, or the discount three-pack with the too-tight crew...
Psst…Pass It On

Psst…Pass It On

While there’s no shortage of layettes out there for sale, I’m always on the lookout for items that are worthy of being handed down through the generations. When this year’s mass-produced designs look just like last year’s mass-produced designs,...

For the Princess Whose Poop Don’t Stink

There is certainly more frivolous girlie-girl, princessy, pink, ridiculous kidswear out there than you know. And actually, you don’t want to know: Marabou trimmed baby onesies, blinged out baby shoe soles (soles!), and headbands with flowers four times the size...

Whoooooo Has The Coolest Shirt?

Whoooooo Has The Coolest Shirt?

Longtime readers may notice that we never feature $80 toddler jeans on Cool Mom Picks. Why? First of all, they’re stupid. But also, we’ve found you can get just as much coolness cred with a pair of $12 toddler jeans, if you pair it with something unique...
Chocolate Goes With Everything

Chocolate Goes With Everything

Lately I’ve got a thing for brown and pink on my little girls. Pink because, well…duh. And brown because it’s less severe than black and less expected than navy. So what caught my eye at new family-run treads for tots store My Little One’s...
It’s Good To Be the King

It’s Good To Be the King

With Texas Hold-Em having taken over the world–let alone our living room one night a month–it was only a matter of time before it made its way into nurseries too. Baby Luck is a new line of tees and onesies that we found at CMP fave shop, Flying Peas that...
Congratulations! It’s a Pig!

Congratulations! It’s a Pig!

I always have trouble with those baby gifts you need to get when the parents want the sex to be a surprise. Don’t they know what a burden their surprise is on their generous friends? Don’t they know it’s all about me? The Chinese Zodiac is always a...
