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...

Shopafrolic has us frolicking! And shopping. Not necessarily in that order.

by Cool Mom Team | Fashion

Most of us know designer Liz Lange for her fabulous maternity clothes, to which I’m eternally grateful for saving me from trapeze shirts. Four times. You may also know about her new Completely Me line of non-maternity clothes, at least if you’re an avid...

Bark if you love animals (and then buy a t-shirt)

by Stephanie Slate | Kid Style

My kids love animals. Like the kind of love that renders our cat somewhat helpless when they come at him with hugs and kisses on an hourly basis. If it were up to them, our house would be a veritable Noah’s Ark, but since I’m just not open-minded...

Easy, comfy, Euro-cool

by Delilah S. Dawson | Kid Style

I spent a lot of time in airports last month, and one thing became as clear as an airplane-sized glass of Sprite: Europeans are just uniquely cool. I think they must be born with it. The scarves, the sunglasses, the bags — and definitely the shoes. [don’t...

TOMS Wedges – Now for Fall

by Cool Mom Team | Fashion

It seems like just yesterday I was proclaiming my love for the new TOMS wedges for summer. And I pretty much was, actually, but now that fall is around the corner, wouldn’t you know TOMS launched a new line just in time for me to make the switch. These shoes are...

Maternity shirts that keep on going, and going

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Fashion

I’m loathe to buy any new maternity clothes in the middle of my 3rd trimester, but it’s also the point in my pregnancy where all my favorite items start to get a little tight – except for my one all-time favorite piece, my trusty BumpStyle maternity...

Moop, there it is!

by Cool Mom Team | Kids

In the summer, I tend to let my handbags go a little more casual and a little less structured. Messenger bags can do the trick, but frankly, I don’t want to look like a messenger. [don’t miss the giveaway after the jump!] That’s where Moop comes in....

TOMS Wedges – The perfect summer flip flop alternative

by Cool Mom Team | Fashion

I’ve kept my eye on TOMS shoes for a long time, hoping for a style that might just fit my fancy over their classic flat slip on that I just don’t think I can pull off. And I think I just found it in the newest member of the TOMS shoes family. Lucky for me,...

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...

Busty mamas of the world, unite and take over

by Cool Mom Team | Fashion

As I recently told a reader who commented on a post about maternity lingerie, we laugh when we receive size 32A nursing bras for review. Um, yeah, I’ll have my four year-old try that on for you, stat. We busty girls have it harder than you think! And while...
