This is the day, my friends. Tax Day. Which is more than simply the day that you cringe as you drop that massive check into the mailbox or break open the bubbly to celebrate a refund. At least for me, it's always the day I vow to get my …
The dreamy new collection of kid stuff from luxury home decor brand Pyar & Co is perfect for design-conscious moms who want their kids' home accessories to be durable, playful and homemade. The Lil' Pyar collection melds ultra-yummy fabr…
I have always had a thing for salt and pepper shakers, with phases ranging from kitschy mid-century to delicate 20's-era, to modern and handmade. I'm not sure I actually need another set, but I sure have my eyes on these Kate Spade salt …
I can't even think about spring cleaning until the outdoor temperature is above freezing, but this vibrant dinnerware set from Cortney and Robert Novogratz makes even the coldest day feel bright. At least, that's how I imagine it while I…
My obsession with indie designer bag and accessory label Hayden-Harnett is getting--well, a little obsessive. And these new clutches are an amazing gift for the stylish women on your list, especially at a sale price this week only. Throu…
It's been a while since I've found a designer diaper bag that made me wish for a do-over on the diaper bags I carried during my own early stroller-pushing days. And now, here are three from one of my favorite designers. While Marc Jacobs…
You could say a few of us here have become quite the evangelists for Rent the Runway. After seeing Kristen strut her stuff on a Las Vegas business trip in two gorgeous designer dresses, I tried it myself for an event this past spring, an…

One of our great honors in the years of running Cool Mom Picks was the opportunity to appear on Etsy's blog, curating some of our favorite handmade Mother's Day Gifts . So I always love peeking in to see what other designers, bloggers, a…
I suppose it's just my luck that now that my youngest has outgrown her nursery, I'm finding all sorts of cool nursery decor and accessories. But that's why I love Jonathan Adler's Junior collection so much, because it works as well for b…
Until now, I'd never realized that a highchair could be a style statement. I've always steered toward simplicity when it comes to kids' furniture , but the dazzling new highchair from Bloom has me positively wowed. The Fresco Chrome Spec…
Last week, I was so thrilled to be invited to attend the fashion show for the Ralph Lauren Fall and Holiday Girls collection. I have to admit, I was surprised at how wearable and funky a lot of the fashions were, as opposed to the seriou…
Considering how much we love all the products from 7am enfant , I'm not surprised at all that I'm in love with their new luxury diaper bag. I've seen many a stylish diaper bag that looks fantastic but doesn't exactly hold up to the test …
When I go shopping for three kids' clothes for Back to School---or "fall" as we homeschoolers call it---I am always on the lookout for cool, unique styles that my kids won't see on all of their peers but that won't also blow my entire bu…
Not too many women wish they were pregnant in the heat of August. But when I got a glimpse at Isabella Oliver's new fall/winter maternity collection, I admit almost wish I had a baby bump. The just-launched autumn/winter 2012 collection …
It's summertime which means if you're like us, you probably rock flip flops like they are going out of style. And to lots of us, flip flops are synonymous with Brazil's stylish, comfy, long-wearing Havaianas. And now there's a new collec…
When I first got a look at the newest designer diaper bag design from CMP fave Mia Bossi, I thought there was just no possible way that it was a diaper bag. But like their other bags we've been drooling over for years now, it is -- and o…
There's hardly a mom who doesn't imagine that it would be nice to own at least one fancy, beautiful garment for the kids from a label like France's Jacadi . So hooray-- because they're making it even easier with a huge sale starting toda…
