Cynthia Rowley's back in the Band-Aid business, and this time, she skipped the mall and gone straight to the beach. If you recall the last Cynthia Rowley Band-Aids, you'll know how quickly these blingy bandages are going to sell out. The…
Mamas of brand new little boys, I have good news for you: Beloved children's clothing designer brand Zutano has a new collection available at Target -- and it happens to be adorable. We all know how hard it can be to find cute clothes fo…
We're always fans of Petunia Pickle Bottom bags, thanks to smart design, elegant patterns, and a rugged refusal to succumb to ruination. But once you're past the gigantic diaper bag phase and even the maybe-it's-just-a-purse diaper bag p…
I had this dress when I was pregnant that made me feel like a goddess. I wore it to two weddings, several parties, and a couple of dates. And then I had the babies and passed it on to another mama like the Sisterhood of the Traveling Mat…
As handbag-crazy mamas, we're pretty excited about this week's monthly subscriber-only giveaway: Three Cool Mom Picks subscribers will each win a chic new bag from Ellington Handbag's brand new Spring 2012 collection. You'll win a Joni H…
I love my Hunter rain boots. Unfortunately, I live in LA where it almost never rains, even as the rest of the country wades through those upcoming April showers. Okay, I lie; It drizzles, sometimes. And that's when I climb into my fabulo…
I love having two yummy little boys, really I do. But it's times like this--when I hear that design icon Diane von Furstenberg is creating a girls-only collection for GapKids and babyGap--that I get a little envious of moms with daughter…
At the very top of my bucket list of designers I hope to have hanging in my closet one day is Marni . I've always loved the Italian design house's eclectic mix of prints and modern offbeat silhouettes. Now, thanks to a collaboration with…
I can't say that I mourn the fact that my diaper bag carrying days are over. But really, it's the diapers I'm glad to be over with, not the bags. Especially when they're as awesome as this one. When I got a first glimpse of this OiOi hob…
I'm particularly envious right now of the Jonathan Adler Skip Hop line that launched yesterday. Which is funny, because I do not miss the days of hauling a baby bag around with me. I love a great bag , don't get me wrong, but when my kid…
Designer clothes tend to be timeless and well made -- I guess that is why the magazines call it "investment dressing." However, the reality is that most moms simply cannot afford to invest thousands of dollars on one article of clothing,…
I don't generally have diaper bag envy--to me that's like having diaper envy or leaky bottle envy. I'm kind of glad to be done with all of them. That said, there are still those diaper bags that don't look like diaper bags, enough for me…
One of the biggest complaints we hear about kids car seats and boosters is how ugly they are. Yes, I know safety is the biggest priority, but once we check that off the list, I would prefer not to have a ginormous thing squarely in my re…
The day my husband and I got engaged is the day he stopped clothes shopping for himself. Partly upon my request. It's now up to me to pick out everything from his sleeping t-shirts to his ties. Seeing as how I'm not a big fan of departme…
There are very few things that would make me miss being pregnant. But the gorgeous fall collection from genius fashion designer Isabella Oliver actually has me wishing I could wear maternity clothes again. I ogled the uber-chic maternity…
I have always loved wearing jewelry with a story behind it , and I've never really been a fan of the mass produced status pieces that everyone else and her mother is sporting too. So naturally I was thrilled to hear about Piperlime's new…
We're always sad to see shops close, particularly when it's two of our all time faves like Oliebollen and Nico and Zoe, but there is one small bright side, that is if you'd like to score huge discounts on their gorgeous inventory. [Don't…
So many times I wish that my favorite kids designers were designer for us adults too. And now--hello! Thank you, kit +lili! I'm loving their line for adults, including beautiful dresses , flowy peasant tops in bold modern patterns, and c…
There are a few things that I haven't really used since having my second kid, and one of them happens to be a diaper bag . I've got enough on my hands traveling with four kids ; I'd rather not lug all their crap in a gigantic bag too. Bu…
If you like swanky designer clothes but not the swanky designer clothes prices, one of my favorite ever boutiques is having a 40% off sale right now that's definitely worth a few clicks. New Yorkers can pop into Scoop in person (I love t…
At this point, it's not news that Target is spot-on in the designer collaboration department. They seem to keep churning out awesome new collection after awesome new collection with the hottest kid brands around. And now it's Appaman's t…
Living in a big city has tons of benefits, but ample living space is not one of them. Which is why bunk beds are the urban dweller's most functional answer to shared bedrooms. It will certainly be the answer for my sons' room when the ti…
I'm a firm believer in color therapy, especially when it comes to kid's rooms . So when I saw the bold and peppy new crib bedding sets from Maclaren , which happens to be the complete opposite of their very chic and very white nursery fu…
I'm in the final stretch of my third trimester and no matter what I put on, I have a tendency to feel like, well, someone who's eight months pregnant. So when I spotted a recent pic a of a pregnant celeb with a multi-hued scarf from new …
