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 i…
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 op…
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 definite…
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 th…
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 BumpSty…
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 M…
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 fa…
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 + chea…
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 y…
The good old over the shoulder boulder holder is turning a whopping 100 today, and to thank her (is it a she? he? it?) for her amazing support (ahem) throughout the years, we thought it would be fun to round up a few of our favorite nurs…
I have been coveting this one pair of Michael Kors slides since I slipped my feet into them at local trendanista boutique, Scoop. On three different occasions. The buttery leather and comfy flat sole coupled with the perfect shade of neu…
The premiere of Sex and the City 2 hits tonight, and the women I've talked to seem to be divided into two groups: Those who care, and those who won't admit they care -- just a little bit. I admit it! I care! I want to gawk at Aiden, and …
Back when I was pregnant with my kids (you know, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth), "nursing dress" was synonymous with "giant chest flaps on something shapeless and ugly." Sad but true. So you'll have to pardon me for feeling like y…
I will say, when you name a product 10 Years Younger Makeup Finish , the bar is pretty high. Not that I'm expecting Botox in a handy spray form, but you know. Ten years. That's a lot of years younger. For those of us with not-twenty-year…
You can't throw a rock without hitting a Twilight t-shirt, but now you can finally use 100% cotton to demonstrate your devotion to the greats of the literary world. Salinger. Hemingway. Rand. Bradbury. We're talking total street cred wit…
My heart is aflutter after taking a peek at Magpie Lovely again. We've raved about the site before, and its enchanting selection of original handmade work by a number of different independent artists, but I have to admit, I'm spending th…
When I was pregnant with my first child, I went a little crazy with the maternity clothes. And although my husband raised a skeptical eyebrow and tut-tutted about me buying items that I would -- he insisted -- never wear again after preg…
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? W…
For two pregnancies, my maternity wardrobe consisted of ill-fitting tees that never really covered my belly and dry clean only sweaters that I was afraid to wear. Things sure have changed. I'm smitten with Milan Maternity's line; even th…
When I'm window shopping the web, it's always dangerous to stop on the Etsy homepage, where their editors are carefully curating millions of items down into just the very ones that I have to have. (How do they do that?) A recent find: Th…
Yes, it's true. My body is...wait for it....imperfect. I know that's shocking with me being a 40-something mom of two and all but, you know. Biology. It's no secret that I've always been a big Spanx fan, so I haven't really found much ne…
The chic streets of Manhattan on foul weather days belong to Hunter Boots this year. These all-weather, all-natural rubber wellies in colors from pine green to flashy silver are keeping the annoyingly toned calves of stylish New Yorkers …
I've been following the headband trend, waiting for something that I could possibly get away with, you know, as I glamorously work from home and chase three kids around. Sorry if I just can't do the whole feather and lace thing these day…
And as a Canadian mama, it was with much excitement that I used to take trips south of the border and bring home some lovely Liz Lange maternity clothes. Well now I'm going to have to get myself an American address since it looks like th…
