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...

Mix, match, stack, stun

I have a thing for rings, so when I first saw these recycled sterling silver stacking rivet rings from the very talented Julie Booras of Heart and Stone Jewelry I was immediately drawn to them for all of the obvious reasons. But I realized that — while getting...

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...

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...

Embracing the turquoise trend one arm at a time

by Liz Gumbinner | Fashion

I’m giving into the turquoise trend this spring, albeit gently–you won’t find me dripping in Santa Fe turquoise stones or Grandma’s shocking aqua Palm Beach duds. But when I saw these resin bangles on the front page of etsy I thought ooh,...

by Stephanie Slate | Fashion

My heart is aflutter after taking a peek at Magpie Lovely again. We’ve raved about the site before, and its enchanting selection of original handmade work by a number of different independent artists, but I have to admit, I’m spending the most time...

Clothes made for women. And not the perfect ones.

by Catherine | Baby, Fashion

When I was pregnant with my first child, I went a little crazy with the maternity clothes. And although my husband raised a skeptical eyebrow and tut-tutted about me buying items that I would — he insisted — never wear again after pregnancy, I proved him...

Versatility – the hot trend for moms any season

by Cool Mom Team | Fashion

As someone who used to have a reputation for keeping up with style trends, I have to admit that it pains me now, as a busy mom, to have to shop for everyday clothes with limitations – you know, can I wear it with almost all my outfits? Will it hide my...

Maternity clothes that won’t cost you an arm and a cankle

by Susan | Baby, Fashion

For two pregnancies, my maternity wardrobe consisted of ill-fitting tees that never really covered my belly and dry clean only sweaters that I was afraid to wear. Things sure have changed.I’m smitten with Milan Maternity’s line; even their basics are...

Sexy, stylish, and…earthy?

by Betsy | Fashion

Most people imagine Mother Earth being all Birkenstocky and granola eating, but me? I think Mother Earth has got it going on. And if she wore earrings, she might very well be wearing the Real Light collection from Real Jewels, a company with a conscience that designs...

Spring bags, ahoy!

by Leah | Fashion

When I’m window shopping the web, it’s always dangerous to stop on the Etsy homepage, where their editors are carefully curating millions of items down into just the very ones that I have to have. (How do they do that?)A recent find: The bags from Bayan...
