We love prolific designer and mom Rebecca Minkoff. Love! Liz is still coveting her black and white tote and Kristen continues to drool over her mint crossbody bag. So we are beyond honored (seriously) to find ourselves interviewed this week on her excellent,...

A passport case is one of those small indulgences I’ve always wanted but it never seemed necessary. But with a few international trips under my belt recently, and seeing how ratty mine is getting compared with my kids’ less-used passports, I’m ready...

I’m not one to get too excited about hair bands, but when I saw the ones from Emi-Jay, I gasped. Seriously.

Pantone just announced their hot spring colors for 2013. While we’re barely into fall, I think those of us who care about such things (me!) have a few more reasons to think about the end of winter. While all the colors range from what they call “dynamic...

It’s no secret that I have a handbag obsession. That’s pretty clear the second you walk into my closet. But these handcrafted beauties I found on Etsy are on a whole other level. And if you think this violin bag is amazing, just wait until you see the...
