With a Caribbean business trip coming up (I know, cry for me) I started looking into cute little summery bags. Something just big enough for a room key, a camera and maybe a little scarf for my shoulders should the breeze fall below oh, …
Unless your family summer plans involve hibernating in the local million-plex theater and surviving on popcorn and Twizzlers, you can be assured of one thing: There will be sun. Which means we mamas can't leave home without packing plent…
I'm definitely a huge fan of big, bold jewelry, but when it comes to the more sentimental pieces for myself and really, gifts for others, I tend to like the simpler designs. Like the lovely monogrammed pendant from Three Sisters Jewelry …
I reluctantly retired my favorite brown leather handbag for the summer and decided to give canvas a try. And let's just say, I'm going to have a hard time going back once it starts to get cold again. Indeed this adorable houndstooth bag …
I can tell you the story of my life through scent, from that first, huge bottle of Beautiful in high school to CK Truth at my first job to my recent addiction to BPAL. Right now, as my second child rounds the corner of two and I start to…
I've kept my eye on TOMS shoes for a long time, hoping for a style that might just fit my fancy over their classic flat slip on that I just don't think I can pull off. And I think I just found it in the newest member of the TOMS shoes fa…
When I got word that online boutique Shabby Apple is now promoting their dresses for women, I have to be honest, I was a bit skeptical. I like some but not all of their little girls' dresses, and on top of that, mail order clothes + chea…
As I recently told a reader who commented on a post about maternity lingerie, we laugh when we receive size 32A nursing bras for review. Um, yeah, I'll have my four year-old try that on for you, stat. We busty girls have it harder than y…
We, like everyone else in the world, have long been fans of Bravado! bras and their well-priced, comfortable nursing bras. But with the launch of their new Bliss Maternity Bra , I think they definitely upped the ante. I'm a huge fan of s…
You know those old "Calgon, take me away!" commercials? You'll get that feeling right by your kitchen sink when using natural body lotions by SEED . If you're not sold on your current 100% natural body lotion, these were created by husba…
The good old over the shoulder boulder holder is turning a whopping 100 today, and to thank her (is it a she? he? it?) for her amazing support (ahem) throughout the years, we thought it would be fun to round up a few of our favorite nurs…
I have been coveting this one pair of Michael Kors slides since I slipped my feet into them at local trendanista boutique, Scoop. On three different occasions. The buttery leather and comfy flat sole coupled with the perfect shade of neu…
The premiere of Sex and the City 2 hits tonight, and the women I've talked to seem to be divided into two groups: Those who care, and those who won't admit they care -- just a little bit. I admit it! I care! I want to gawk at Aiden, and …
Back when I was pregnant with my kids (you know, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth), "nursing dress" was synonymous with "giant chest flaps on something shapeless and ugly." Sad but true. So you'll have to pardon me for feeling like y…
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, Shoka…
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 realiz…
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" is…
I will say, when you name a product 10 Years Younger Makeup Finish , the bar is pretty high. Not that I'm expecting Botox in a handy spray form, but you know. Ten years. That's a lot of years younger. For those of us with not-twenty-year…
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'…

Luckily, my kid's not as clumsy as I am. But lately, she keeps hoping to have a minor accident, because she knows I have two new boxes of super sweet kids bandages by Ouchies Jr. Although we select cereal and crackers based on nutritiona…
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 oo…
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 th…
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 preg…
