Accessories make the world go round. (Says us.)

by Melissa | Fashion

Now that I’m expecting baby number two, accessories are the only fashion items I will allow myself to indulge in. I mean, who knows what form my figure will take after I pop out this little dude? To that end, I will certainly be hitting up Style Tryst, a new...

Perfect gifts for scarfaholics. Or anyone, really.

by Delilah S. Dawson | Fashion

First I was excited about boot weather. But now that I’m firmly settled into my kickers, I’m ready for the next stage — scarf weather. Even though I’ve got a killer line-up waiting in my closet, like any good scarfaholic, I always need just one...

Get in the Halloween spirit in a pin(ch)

by Melissa | Uncategorized

As the final countdown to my favorite holiday of the year begins, I can’t help but want to break out the package of fun size M&Ms and throw fake cobwebs around my foyer, like right now.Since I know I’ll only eat all the candy and end up accidentally...

The fall wardrobe staple for every mom. Yes, you too.

by Cool Mom Team | Uncategorized

Considering I’m due with baby #4 in a couple of weeks, I’m not inclined to buy any new clothes. Nor do I even want to think about pulling out my fall wardrobe, which is sure to not fit me at least until next fall. Nine months on, nine months off, right?...

Not too shabby but affordably chic

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Fashion

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 + cheap prices are a combo that...

Just because it’s a diaper bag doesn’t mean it can’t be grown up

by Susan | Baby

Here’s why I hate most diaper bags: So many of them are made with the baby in mind, not the mama. They have ducks or sailboats on them, and they don’t have any place for your own gear. But Ellington’s Hannah tote, that’s different. It...

Versatility – the hot trend for moms any season

by Cool Mom Team | Fashion

As someone who used to have a reputation for keeping up with style trends, I have to admit that it pains me now, as a busy mom, to have to shop for everyday clothes with limitations – you know, can I wear it with almost all my outfits? Will it hide my...
