I love a Nordstrom sale, and their Anniversary Sale is no exception, because you can get great discounts on brand new items. So, if you've got a little cash stashed, here are 5 of my favorites, all fabulous fall and winter staples, if I …
The ladies in my Zumba workout class have been seriously bringing it when it comes to stylish workout gear lately. And even though I remind myself that it's not a competition (something I have to tell myself a lot when we get to the Lati…
We're been dedicated followers of FashionABLE for a while now. What's not to love about their sleek leather goods, gorgeous scarves, and minimalist jewelry? Plus, when you make a purchase from their website, you're providing employment t…
I admit, that while I totally rocked culottes the first time they came around, I was a little hesitant to try them again. But I have to say, that I really do love them, especially with all the short shorts every where I turn. If you're l…
I'm not even sure when I got the Baggu tote pack , but over the years (yes, it's been that long), it has been a huge travel lifesaver for me, time and time again. And even better, it's currently on super sale . This bag is an upgraded dr…
I'm so happy that wedge sandals are back in style! Because the best part of summer fashion is that it's all about being casual, breezy and relaxed, right? So, on the rare occasion when we leave the pool and I need to dress up a little mo…
Confession: I don't love my stomach. And while I really want to feel super confident sporting a bikini, I just never have been able to get there. That was until I discovered the fringe trend, which is a very cool way to still wear a biki…
This post presented in partnership with Target If you're not a total Target addict like I am (seriously, my daughter and I spent a good two hours in their Brooklyn store yesterday and I have the biceps to show for it), you may not be awa…
Now that some of our girls are starting to hit the age where they're asking about more than just a little flavored lip balm, we turned to an expert to offer us advice about makeup for tweens and teens. Because things have come a long way…
Nothing beats running around barefoot in the summer, until those soft little feet hit a rock or your kids refuse to go into the lake because of a few "icky" leaves on the bottom. So now is a great time to stock up on comfy and durable pa…
About a year ago, I realized that if I grew out my regularly dyed hair, I'd probably be completely gray, which means that about 3–4 weeks after my salon visit, I've got hella roots showing. But thanks to discovering the Rita Hazan root c…
Sunglasses have the power to make a cute summer outfit very hot. That said, I often find myself buying cheap sunglasses hurriedly, without too much thought for style, at the point that I realize I've lost, or, uh, sat on, a go-to pair an…
I love that this year skin is...well, out. Or at least, it's a little more covered up, as we can see from the trends toward more stylized rash guards, high-waisted swim bottoms, and sexy one-pieces instead of bikinis. And let's not forge…
Every year, we have turned to the Environmental Working Group's Annual Guide to Sunscreens to help us make more educated decisions about what are the safest sunscreens to slather on our kids (and ourselves) each summer. But we often find…
You may be vaguely aware that another US presidential election season is upon us, unless of course you've been sequestered in a Himalayan yurt somewhere, totally unplugged until just this very second. (In which case, hey! Thanks for maki…
This year, the Zika virus is on my mind (and everyone else's, I imagine) so I've been avidly researching the best bug sprays for Zika virus protection. It happens that my daughter is extremely allergic to mosquito bites, so when she goes…
With summer slip-on shoe season finally here, it's also officially stinky feet season, which is why I've been on the hunt for peds that don't suck. You know, those no-show socks that keep your feet dry while you wear your favorite TOMS ,…
'Tis the season for graduations, whether you've got a new college graduate in the family, a niece or nephew graduating from high school, or like me, a sixth grader moving up to middle school. Sniff. While so many of us are looking for ju…
After 25 years as a woman with a period, you can't blame me for growing tired of the monthly tampon, pad, and pantyliner rotation. Sorry, no menstrual cup love from me -- though I know lots of ladies love them. So, after seeing the Faceb…
If innovative baby gear is any indication, we can confidently say this is an awesome time to be expecting. My youngest just turned 6 years old, so I'm only a few years out of the baby stage, and yet there has been so much amazing change …
By now, the fashion fans among us surely know about the Pantone colors of the year , a dreamy serenity blue and a pretty rose quartz. While the colors were announced during the winter, I know I'm not generally big on pastels until the we…
How do you repay the woman who gave you endless encouragement, provided countless meals, sacrificed hundreds of hours of sleep, put a roof over your head, and stood cheering in oppressive heat or laughable rainstorms for an unforgivable …
We've been fans of Jessica Seinfeld's charity Baby Buggy for a long while now. For the past 15 years, they've provided more than 20 million essential children's supplies to low-income families in NYC and LA, and our own editor Liz is amo…
One of the coolest gift ideas I've ever seen for bibliophiles -- besides another book, of course -- is Litographs' literary tees that beautifully transpose the text of your favorite novel and print it, in its entirety, across a cotton te…
