How to wear stars this summer. Stripes, optional.

by Liz Gumbinner | Fashion

If you’ve ever bought that awesome American flag t-shirt for July 4th only to feel like it’s kind of passé on July 5th, I just found the perfect fashion solution in these totally fab new star-adorned Lily flip-flops from TKEES spotted at ShopBop. They come...

We’ve found the cutest pool floaties known to man…or bird.

by Caroline Siegrist | Kid Style

Pool accessories have come a long way since I was a kid. Back then, we made do with inner tubes and foam noodles, but now there’s larger-than-life, lounge-able swans and rainbow unicorns. Not to mention huge floating hashtags. But my favorite new pool must-have...

Pom poms: They’re not just for cheerleaders.

by Liz Gumbinner | Fashion

I’ve been kind of tickled looking at the colorful new boho pom pom sandals that have blowing up my feeds lately, but I’m not entirely sure I can pull them off. Then I saw this amazing woven trapeze pom pom bag from Ted Baker and I thought, oooh…now...

Hot trend alert: Rose sneakers are this summer’s new neutral

by Kate Etue | Fashion

This summer we’re seeing a new trend that — I’ll admit — I was skeptical about at first. But now, I’m hooked. Rose-colored sneakers are everywhere. In fact, I’m declaring them the new neutral. The pretty, soft color dresses up our...

A fun summer fashion trend anyone can pull off. Seriously, we’re obsessed.

by Kate Etue | Fashion

We’ve been keeping our eyes on hot shoe trends lately (it’s hard work, but someone has to do it) and we’ve noticed a new look coming out of the Mediterranean that we’re completely obsessed with: tassel, lace-up, blinged-out boho sandals. These...

5 too-cool girls’ rompers FTWW! (For the wardrobe win.)

by Liz Gumbinner | Kid Style

You will not be seeing me in a romper… this summer. I mean, I have learned never to say never (see also my snark about skinny jeans in the early CMP days, ha), but until I’m size supermodel (hahahaha hahaaha haaaaa!!) I will happily leave the rompers as...

Rockets of Awesome: The clothing subscription box for kids that is, well, awesome.

by Liz Gumbinner | Kid Style

I admit I am very skeptical of subscription boxes of clothing like Stitchfix (we published a terrific, brutally honest she said/she said post on it that’s worth a read) since I have very particular tastes and I tend to know what shapes I can wear and what I...

Sonnet James: Stylish dresses made just for busy moms. Like us!

by Kristen Chase | Fashion

Hooo boy, is it easy to get in a style rut as a busy mom. I can speak to this from experience, even as someone who prides myself on staying fairly on trend. While getting out of jeans and into a dress is one way to feel more put together, as much as I love wearing...

Real Kids Sunglasses: Blending style with UVA/UVB protection

by Liz Gumbinner | Kid Style

I’m like a lot of parents, in that I know my kids should be wearing sun protection for their eyes, but I’m not inclined to drop a lot on kids’ sunglasses. Then I started thinking, if I’m spending $15–20 on safe kids’ sunscreen that gives...
