For years I was mystified by the thong, an article of clothing that felt more "medieval torture device" than comfy undergarment. But, after hearing about Hanky Panky's thongs , I gave them a try and have been a convert to their comfortab…
It really pains me to compromise my jewelry choices because I'm a mom, but when you're chasing after three kids under five most of the day you just can't wear the same delicate, dangly bracelets that get caught on everything if you're do…
I was just poking around Etsy (I do that a lot) and I came across a link to the KnitKnit shop from Brooklyn artist Nguyen Le. And there I spotted this incredible cameo necklace and just fell in love. Or rather, it looks like a cameo, but…
I know it's exorbitant. I know it's indulgent. But when I saw the handmade solid gold globe charms from Heather B. Moore jewelry recently, I just fell in love. You can customize them with teeny diamond (or two or ten) in a spot you choos…
Sure, you can spend hundreds of dollars to get maternity jeans from hip labels, but the cost is exorbitant and you end up wearing them for just a few months. (Or, hopefully just a few months.) I know there are more options around now tha…
I love that the eco-bag revolution has taken over to the degree that even the nasty, old supermarket in my neighborhood is trying to encourage the use of reusable grocery bags. But one thing I've realized is that those cute canvas totes …
You can always tell a great jewelry artist when you want to wear pretty much everything she makes. And that's just how I'd describe the innovative stainless steel pop-out jewelry from Houston artist Melissa Borrell . Just like those old …
I can't believe I'm already thinking of holiday accessories but, yup, I am. Mainly because I'll be among those "shopping my closet" this year and looking to update old looks with affordable new accessories. On a wild Etsy tear this week,…
My birthday is coming up soon. Okay, two months. But why wait until the last minute to start dropping hints about wanting a new piece of jewelry? And by hints I mean Honey, get me a Torus necklace this year or sleep with one eye open. Fi…
I'm not entirely a fan of a pink ribbon as a fashion statement, even if it is supporting a great cause. Generally I think you can just give that money directly to the cause and make your own pink or red or white ribbon to wear on your ja…
Pageants? Not really our thing. But fashion shows - ooh la la! So we we're excited to be a sponsor of Vogue Bambini's kids' fashion show at the ENK Children's Club trade show in NYC this coming weekend, along with fellow sponsors Weleda …
Together in NYC this week, Kristen and I browsed a few boutiques and noticed that Frye Boots are making a crazy comeback. I still remember my first pair back in the early 80s, and how sad I was when I outgrew them. And could no longer we…
So maybe the first time we told you about the Flip & Tumble reusable shopping bags that you can just fold up into a teeny little ball and toss in your purse , you liked it...but you just weren't wowed by the solid prints. Well now Flip &…
If you're looking for a little sumpin' sumpin' that will brighten your day and class up your look for fall , take a look at the hot color this season - red. Think of it as a little reward for surviving summer (and all those pastels) inta…
Maternity wear has come a long way in the nine years since I had my first baby, but for most of us, the local maternity shopping options are limited, and trolling the Internet for deals takes time away from napping -- an important part o…
My favorite jewelry shop anywhere in the entire universe, hands down, is this beautiful little boutique in Lenox, Mass called Sienna Gallery . Owner Sienna Patti has put together one of the most respected, most exquisitely curated collec…
I have been in the market for a new handbag recently and somehow stumbled onto Mod Cloth , which is fast becoming my top new online obsession. This vintage and thrift webshop is the closest thing I have yet discovered to my favorite ever…
The sentiment of a flower on your wrist is really quite lovely, but there's little I dislike more than an actual wrist corsage. That's why I love this sterling interpretation - the beautiful Stargazer Bracelet from Lealand Eve Boutique .…
I'm a complete sucker for keepsake jewelry, but not enough to sacrifice my style. These days, there are plenty of keepsake necklace options, but not so many keepsake bracelets in a style that I would actually wear around my wrist. But wh…
These was no way in heck I could wear regular underwear when I was pregnant. Between my growing belly and bum, and my desire to have absolutely nothing grabbing or pulling on me, I had to give in and purchase the special maternity underp…
Waaaay back before I had kids, I could get away with wearing any old cute little swimsuit found at my local boutique. But now the thin layer of spandex accompanied by teeny tiny straps just doesn't cut it anymore, so I often turn to a co…
I admit it's fun peeking at the press page of jewelry websites and seeing which A-listers share your taste in dangly earrings or triple-strand necklaces. And in the case of the Marie Chavez collection it seems to be a lot of them. But of…
Until this personalized necklace from the husband and wife team behind Searcey Designs, my only foray into the world of personalized jewelry was an ID bracelet purchased in my middle school years when they were all the rage. And that was…
If you plan on leaving the house for any point of your 40 week pregnancy, you can't just get away with nine months of stretch-waist yoga pants and Target maternity tees. Not that I didn't try, mind you. I needed some clothes I could actu…
