My kids lose scarves and gloves like uh...well, like kids lose scarves and gloves. While I covet so many high end handmade options, I know I take quite a risk knowing that two mittens may head out the door in the morning, and only one wi…
We must say, Thanksgiving is easily one of our favorite holidays. (Especially if we're not the ones making the turkey, ha.) We hope that today you're surrounded with lots of family, lots of joy, and lots of really fantastic pecan pie. Th…
So you've got a little girl who likes pink? Shockingly, I have one, as well. She loves purple, too, of course. And I admit freely that there are times I wish she'd wear any other color. But if you can't beat 'em, join 'em --on your own t…
If you're a mama (which you probably are) who dresses her children in clothes (which you probably do), and you read Cool Mom Picks (which you do!) you know there is a plethora of cute kids' clothing from which to choose. There are days m…
Do you ever fall in love with an picture on Etsy before you even know what the item is? Beautiful styling and luscious photo-editing once lured me to click on a $75 photograph of a bagel. That's right-- a picture of a bagel. This time, w…
Having just welcomed a new baby boy into our fold (well, it feels like "just"--how did we already high five the seven-month marker?), I'm constantly aware of how many onesies, sleepers, and rompers a baby can inherit. Bags. And bags. And…
I've been smitten with Stella McCartney's exclusive clothing line for the Gap for two seasons in a row, so when I heard she launched a new collection of her very own, I just had to check it out. And while this collection is priced higher…
My kindergartener started taking soccer lessons this year, forcing me into the kids sports apparel section of our local humongo chain store for the first time. Little did I know how hard it would be to suit her up; I'd have to force feed…
The more kids I add to my brood, the more aware I am of what I absolutely do not need as a mom. But more so, I'm now completely convinced of what I can't live without. This is the kind of thing I wish someone had shared with me waaaay ba…
A neighbor and I were just discussing the challenge of purchasing boy's clothes these days and we both agreed that you really do get what you pay for. And since I'm not too keen on purchasing two sets of clothes every season--sometimes m…
I may be the biggest fan of the tees from Wooster St Meats on the planet, perhaps because I've got a sigOth who's the biggest fan of meat on the planet. I've now gotten him a couple for various holiday gifts, and after seeing their lates…
I just went through my little girl's infant clothes to give to my sister-in-law and wham... seeing those tiny bodysuits brought me back to those early days. I could still smell that baby smell and see her chubby little arms and legs in t…
I still remember falling in love with Bugalug accessories three years ago when I was pregnant with my second child. The adorable non-slip clips and headbands were the cutest I'd ever seen, made with trendy ribbon designs that were marked…
Given my general loathe for licensed character clothing , it's only fitting that my two-year-old has decided she will only wear clothes with Elmo on them. Makes perfect sense considering she has never actually watched Sesame Street. Ah, …
It's quite possible that I might never set foot in an actual store again. I mean why bother schlepping outside when everything you could possibly want is a few clicks away? When I say everything, I mean the most gorgeous French designer …
The good thing about Halloween falling on a Sunday this year is that one very valuable extra weekend day to get ready. Check out theses posts, take a deep breath and say ohm. Then go crack open those Reeses. Last minute Halloween costume…
This post also appears on the Gap 1969 Stream along with tons of photos, articles, inspiration, and tips about denim. It's so funny having to say that denim is in for kids because, hello, was it ever out? I adore seeing denim now in surp…
I'm generally a good gifter. However, I've been a little stumped about what to buy a good friend's little girl for her first birthday. They live in a tight NYC apartment, so their toy situation is extremely edited. Her stylish wardrobe, …
The mission of past CMP pick, Out of Print Clothing is to spread the joy of reading. Through fashion. Hey, two of our favorite things? And, now, they have expanded their collection to include t-shirts for kids. Find shirts featuring cove…
I love having a son. The way he has to touch every wheel he sees--even if it's on some random stranger's Rollerblade--is so cute. My only complaint about giving birth to a boy, as opposed to a girl, is the sheer lack of cool clothing opt…
Yesterday was the most absolutely perfect early fall day, but today? This gray sky is reminding me of what's to come. I don't know about you, but I get a little grumpy in the wintertime. By the end of winter, I'm a lot grumpy. The Scandi…
As a resident of the Deep South, my kids tend to not need a heavy duty coat until mid-winter, which means we're generally relegated to the plain old sweaters, hoodies, and fleece jackets. But with this year's trend of jersey knit jackets…
As if I needed another reason to scour the virtual shelves of Happy Chickadee, one of our fave mom-owned boutiques, I just got another really awesome one. And it's not even because of my new baby (that has yet to arrive, argh). It's beca…
My 7 month old is an insanely adorable bundle of energy. I recently discovered, much to my dismay, that she also inherited my crazy wide feet. Thinking ahead, I've been trying to find some decent shoes for her . I've searched high and lo…
