Ooh, how the new Coach bags are tempting me this spring. I've loved the whole colorblock trend even before it was hot, which means I've got lots of pieces I can pull right out of my closet and wear in a snap. But these stylish handbags a…
Today, Nordstrom launched their exclusive, and much-awaited new line of SJP shoes designed by Sarah Jessica Parker . And as someone who's seen her a couple of times in person (from afar), they are very her. Lots of high heeled, strappy s…
We love FashionABLE (now Able) scarves. They're gorgeous and well made--some of the most stylish scarves we've seen anywhere--and their human touch makes us even more devoted fans. In fact, see our editor Liz sporting the Genet Scarf alo…
When I was a teen, there was no such thing as an iTunes gift card. No, we had to walk both ways to Turtles and work our fingers to the bone making mix tapes. It's just as hard today to find a gift for a teen girl that says "I understand …
My mom started taking me to get facials when I was in middle school. Every month or so, we'd go to the spa at the gym where we had a membership, I think in an effort to avoid having to take me to a dermatologist. It worked, and I got hoo…
When I caught that pearls are in this season as a hot jewelry trend, I much wrote them off at first because I'm really not a pearls kind of a gal. But I am a bit of a trend watcher after all, and I discovered, after a bit of searching, t…
My maternity basics during my two pregnancies pretty much consisted of black leggings (one pair I washed every other day), tees long enough to cover my belly and a couple of dresses with stretch. Everything else--blazers, button downs, h…
If your house is anything like ours, the childrens' cold and flu season has arrived with a vengeance and you've got a revolving door of illness--or are miraculously staving it off. Somehow, it always catches us off guard, and we're scram…
We've found such an abundance of cool jewelry for Valentine's Day lately that I wanted to throw one more into the fray. Just in case you needed even more choices: a cloisonne Je T'aime heart pendant at Poketo. I shouldn't be surprised th…
So many new moms want to know how to drop baby weight and having gone through it myself--four times--you could say I have a few tips to offer. I felt extremely fortunate that I had a fairly easy time dropping my baby weight after my firs…
I'm a sucker for personalized jewelry, especially on Valentine's Day, but not so stoked about the expensive pricetags. But when I found these affordable heart necklaces at My Tiny Star Shining, I felt like Oprah. "You get a necklace! And…
I still remember reading an article in Cosmo in my twenties and laughing at the thought of eye wrinkles. I'm not laughing anymore. When I resolved to be better to my skin in the new year, I spent an hour at the health food store, reading…
The classic locket in which we keep our gorgeous children close to us at all times is a wonderful tradition but we always love seeing updates, from custom Instagram photo necklaces to USB necklaces with hundreds of photos of your beloved…
We admit it: We stopped in our tracks and immediately emailed a dozen Type Geek friends with the link when we saw this Seven Deadly Sans t-shirt at one of our favorite little online shops, Shana Logic. From the name alone you could proba…
If you're on the hunt for a squee-worthy custom baby shower favor that people will actually use and love, look no further. We've found all-natural, handmade soaps with customizable wrappers and delicious scents that will look posh on dis…
I've been a fan of booties, or short ankle boots, ever since I can remember. (Just take one quick look at my closet.) But they were limited to closed-toe weather months until I discovered the joys of open-toed booties. Now, they are my g…
Sexy maternity lingerie when you're pregnant or nursing? I'm on board! When I was pregnant and nursing, I always felt a little bummed about Valentine's Day; it was hard for me to feel really attractive when I ballooned up to the size of …
Mmmm, cashmere. I mostly appreciate this indulgent glorious material from afar, because my lifestyle can't really support a cashmere habit (although I might make an exception for these Ivory Row cashmere sweaters .) So here's a fabulous-…
My babies have all been big chewers. Part puppy, we used to say. So no surprise that C Chewbeads s afe teething necklaces have been a huge hit with moms of little teethers. These 100% silicone beads are the safest of safe for your kids —…
Anything overly fragranced gives me an insta-headache so I am committed to finding the best fragrance-free beauty products. The chemicals in synthetic fragrances are known to cause some nasty allergic reactions; I've even had to change s…
As if the legwarmers, puffy sleeves, and the neon weren't indication enough, the 80s are back in full force -- as evident in the crop of campy heart-shaped sunglasses just in time for Valentine's Day. In fact, we're seeing tons of cat ey…
The idea of a stylish maternity clothing line that still fits after your nine months are up is a relatively new thing. And a welcome one. While some creative (and super fit) moms can get away with buying their normal designer faves a few…
We love yummy scented bath products here at CMP, especially ones that are kid-safe and eco-friendly. In my personal quest to go a little more organic in the new year, I've found a great new line of bath products from the UK that smell gr…
This year my New Year's resolution is—you're gonna be shocked, I know—to lose ten pounds. Or maybe let's just round it up to 20. Ready to talk Pilates videos ? If you're in a similar boat, I think you'll love these new ones I've found cr…
