Play clothes for the sand trap or the sand box

by Julie | Kid Style

One of the many surprise discoveries I made after having a baby boy was that I’m actually pickier about boy clothes. Specifically, a lot of sports-themed duds don’t pass muster, but select favorites make me swoon. But here’s a new line that gets the...

Monogrammed rain boots keep you singin’ (and stylin’) in the rain

by Elizabeth | Fashion

This week we had a taste of spring – not the sunny, warm spring, but the rainy, cold spring that you know is right around the corner. And nothing cheers us up around here on a rainy day like a fun new pair of rain boots ready for puddle jumping. Ever since I got...

Chunky is in.

by Liz Gumbinner | Fashion

This week, I popped into one of my favorite NYC department stores to leave my drool marks on the jewelry cases–kind of like a wolf marking his territory. Hey, maybe if I drool on this case here no one else will buy it? And then they’ll have to give it to...

Let’s just pretend spring is here, shall we?

by Elizabeth | Art + Decor

I have one word for this time of year and it’s not nice. Stores are featuring spring clothes and outdoor toys, but outside my front door there are still the last vestiges of frozen snow, and I’m sure it’s not the last of it for the season.So, for...

Hunter rain boots that stand out from the crowd

by Melissa | Fashion

When the weather in New York City involves any sort of precipitation, it’s hard to open an umbrella without hitting a pair of Hunter boots on the sidewalks, my own chocolate brown pair included. In fact the waterproof wellies are so ubiquitous in my...

Pantone’s 2011 color of the year keeps you pretty in pink. Or honeysuckle.

by Cool Mom Team | Fashion

This week on Blogher Style, I wrote about the new 2011 Pantone color of the year: Honeysuckle. Well slap me silly, I would have thought it would be some sort of yellow shade but nope. It’s pink all the way. And why yes, I am laughing a bit at Pantone’s...

Kids’ rain gear in June, because Mother Nature likes to break the rules

by Christina Refford | Kid Style

As my poor waterlogged friends in the Pacific Northwest know all too well, June can be a wet one. It’s as if Mother Nature doesn’t give a hoot that we have bored little faces staring up at us waiting for summer to begin. I think it’s better to wrap...

Timi & Leslie – taking the diaper out of diaper bags

by Cool Mom Team | Baby

The season has definitely changed around here, which means I’m putting away the sweaters and long pants, and switching handbags. Of course this leads to much hand wringing considering I’m completely attached to my super great, but very wintry, brown...

Romper room

by Cool Mom Team | Kid Style

So I admit that this whole adult romper trend scares me just a little, mostly because my body is not cut out for any sort of one-piece clothing item not meant for a beach. But my daughters, on the other hand, look absolutely fabulous in them. And at the top of my list...

Beautiful little dresses at beautiful little prices

Ses Petites Mains has been consistently one of my favorite shops for small-label, beautifully tailored girls’ clothes from designer Beth Miles. And right now, you can hit their private sale–oops, did I just make it public?– for fabulous savings on...
