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…
We're always sad to see a small shop we love, like Cat in an Apron, close its doors. But there's a silver lining. At least if you'd like to get 50% off their remaining inventory of beautifully tailored clothing , gifts and accessories. C…
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…
I don't know about you, but these days, my inbox is totally overwhelmed with messages from good-deal sites . Don't get me wrong, they're all awesome deals--I'm glad I signed up for all of them, and wish I could nab every bargain. But for…
If your daughter needs a new party dress this summer, or you're just one of those smart moms who remembers to stock up on sale clothing for next year , one of my favorite labels, Ses Petites Mains, is having their annual sidewalk sale ri…
Back when we first told you about the all-natural, nothing-yucky baking mixes from Kids Central Kitchen, we were already impressed. But they've gone and raised the bar. Or the snack bar? [don't miss a sweet discount after the jump] Not t…
As a design junkie, imagine my delight at learning that Fab.com , a new flash-sale site featuring daily design deals, just launched today. Fab is a carefully curated collection of all the coolest stuff, for your home and your life, all a…
If you have yet to visit, there's a deliciously gorgeous, high-end new site for the foodies mamas among us: Gilt Taste. It's like everything that's great about Gilt plus everything that was great about Gourmet . Gilt Taste in fact is hel…
We love seeing the amazing work of independent artisans recognized on big sites--except when they don't actually give credit to the artist. That seems to be the case with jewelry artist Stevie Koerner of tru.che , whose beautiful United/…
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…
Any mom to a girl between the ages of 7 and 14 knows the dreaded Pit Of Despair when it comes to dressing them--it seems like most choices at that age fall into either the "too cutesy" or "way too mature" camp. So what's a mama to a disc…
Know what once arrived on my doorstep bearing a vintage gold cuff, a flower hair clip, 3 pairs of earrings, a journal, 2 dozen animal-print cupcake liners, and a baggie of carrot-riding-baby cake toppers? It was a Bag O'Goodies from CMP …
Okay, so I have a decent sized crush on designer Orla Kiely. I have only owned one of her bags which I bought with a Christmas bonus, and I wore it to death. I am holding out until my next birthday for a replacement, however her spring r…
Anyone who knows me well knows Rose, my best friend who has held the title since her family moved onto my block the summer before second grade. It's because of her that I have a strong respect for the role that all the BFF's out there pl…
There are no shortage of deals sites out there these days, and I'm all for it. Who wouldn't want a few extra bucks in their wallet? But after getting hordes of emails for 55% off dental services and a bunch of other stuff I wouldn't cons…
Now that I'm a mom myself, I realize that Mother's Day is not just about getting breakfast in bed (not that I would turn that down) or a day off from housework (also, sounds awesome). Rather, I want to do something to honor my mom for al…
With the weather getting warmer, the big treat around our house is popsicles. Sometimes we make our own and other times, I'll splurge on the fruit juice-only ones from our supermarket, even though I know they're loaded with sugar. But no…
I'm a big fan of all the members-only online shopping sites. I've bought many outfits, handbags and even a vacation through them, but now I can expand my shopping arena to the world of art. Real art. As in, by real artists. And the best …
I've often said to new mom friends that if I had to do it over, I'd have spent less on the crib. Not that I didn't adore our crib for the four years that we used it; but there has to be a better way than shelling out a fortune, even for …
Around Easter, little girls' outfits at the boutiques can start looking a bit fancy-pantsy. Patent leather and pressed ruffles are all well and good, but the baby girls I know have usually preferred something a bit softer. And sassier. H…
I've got one word for you: Heartsy . Oh, and a few more words: Etsy , like Groupon , and huge discounts on awesome handmade stuff. Sold, right? It's called Heartsy , and you get the picture. You give Heartsy your email. Every day, they s…
My love runs deep for Green Toys and for good reason. Their sturdy, inviting toys made from recycled milk jugs never fail to make my kids squeal with delight. But the new addition to their line has me as happy as it does my kids. [don't …
What is it about orange on children that just makes me feel happy? It's so springy and bright and optimistic--although of course, I look terrible in it myself. Wah. I love what one of my favorite small designers, Beth Miles of Ses Petite…
