Bid, borrow or swap your way to a fabulous wardrobe

by Melissa | Helpful Services

If eBay, Net-a-Porter, Rent the Runway and Gilt Groupe (all of my favorite shopping websites) had a baby, their progeny would look like I-ELLA.com.Launched by a fashion-obsessed entrepreneur in New York, I-ELLA weaves enough elements into the shopping experience to...

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...

The maternity top that’s saving me from a thousand tiny breakdowns daily

by Stephanie Slate | Baby, Fashion

I have discovered maternity top nirvana. Nirvana, I tell you. And I’m pretty sure I will not be taking this thing off until I have my baby. Finally, I’m spared the thousand daily tug-downs of a too-small top. Finally, the underside of my belly...

Milk Nursingwear – Does a breastfeeding mama good

by Kristen Chase | Baby, Fashion

As a long time breastfeeding mom, I tend to just pop on a nursing tank under a regular shirt and go on my merry nursing way. But that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the value of a great nursing top, particularly when I’m out in public or traveling....

Do these jeans make my butt look big? That would be a no.

by Cool Mom Team | Fashion

I have reluctantly embraced leggings over the past few years to the point where I now own five pairs–all black. (What? They’re all different!) So when I got wind of the jeggings craze I did think ooohh…wardrobe diversity. Even so, when I went to a...

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?...

Piperlime goes pregnant

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Fashion

I admit that I’m a sucker for a fancy pair of jeans, mostly because I’ve found over the years that they just wear and fit better. And after almost four kids on an already hard to fit body, those things are really hard to find at budget prices. So I guess...

She’s got le-e-egs.

by Cool Mom Team | Fashion

Fun prints on tights are in this fall, as we’ve been told by oh, pretty much every fashion guru anywhere. (No, we don’t have a direct line to every fashion guru everywhere but we read a lot!) I love the idea of pairing more neutral color palates with...

It’s never too early to think about fall accessories

by Cool Mom Team | Fashion

Even though it’s still in the 80s here in the deep south, I’ve heard rumors that the weather is already starting to change in other parts of the country. Lucky you! But whether you’re still in shorts like me or you’re pulling out your fall...

Preppy is back! Three (very respectful, understated) cheers.

by Liz Gumbinner | Fashion

Preppy is back, mamas, if you haven’t noticed. My once and future idol, Lisa Birnbach of Preppy Handbook fame, is out promoting her follow-up book True Prep; loafers are everywhere; and Kanye West is influencing a whole new generation to choose blazers and...
