Long belted shirtdresses: 5 favorites you’ll want to live in this fall and winter.

Long belted shirtdresses: 5 favorites you’ll want to live in this fall and winter.

by Liz Gumbinner | Fashion

This past week, I made a rare impulse clothing purchase: a gorgeous, long belted shirt dress from Uli Herzner that I spotted at a Chelsea Market pop-up. I’ve admired her work ever since she made it to the S3 fashion show on Project Runway, and I’m so...

The new Tokidoki + Sanrio Ju-Ju-Be backpacks and diaper bags are an explosion of pop culture awesomeness.

by Kate Etue | Baby, School Gear

Hi! We’re Kristen + Liz!



 Kristen Chase + Liz Gumbinner of Cool Mom Picks We started Cool Mom Picks in 2006 to help make life cooler, more meaningful, and more fun for parents of all kinds.

Trivia: It was called Cool Mom Sh*t for the first two days. (Yeah, we rethought that.)

We had no idea our site would grow to become a major lifestyle network, that we'd end up sharing our finds with the TODAY Show and Martha Stewart, that we'd be able to make a real difference for so many small businesses and women-run companies, or that we'd end up with an incredible community of the coolest readers on the planet. (If we do say so ourselves).

We still love what we do every single day. And we're so glad you're here.
