I'm looking at the hot new eyewear trends for the coming year, and I'm so excited! My sunglasses definitely need an update -- one of the downsides of rarely losing my glasses, is that everything I own now is looking kind of dated or is k…
I’m usually a silver-hoops-only kind of gal, but I’m starting to reconsider my earring choices because of this gorgeous collection by SUGARFIX by BaubleBar at Target. After all, there has to be more to life than boring, shiny metal circl…
One of the best things about the rainbow clothing trend we've seen so much of lately is...it's really not a trend at all. Especially if you're a kid. After all, rainbows never go out of style. So if you're asking, When is a good time to …
We've always said that Mother's Day gifts don't have to be expensive -- but they do have to be thoughtful. (Well, at least they should be, right?) One of my favorite gifts from my kids of all time, aside from the hand-written cards and a…
Like many of you, I've spent years working in offices that required tailored clothes — clothes that looked good, but pinched and rubbed and inspired myriad fantasies about burning them all in a bonfire by the end of the day. But the days…
What happens when designer Coach bags meet the designs of pop art icon Keith Haring? Some show-stoppingly chic handbags, it turns out. And even though some of these Keith Haring X Coach handbags seem like they might cost as much as a Kei…
In our recent post on spring fashion trends, the good, the bad, and the OMGWTF , one trend we did give a thumbs-up to are big floral patterns -- provided you know how to wear them and they don't overwhelm your wardrobe. Well ,hooray for …
I'm all about finding versatile spring dresses for my girls, even when it comes to Easter dresses. Spending a ton of money on frilly, crinoline-lined dresses for Easter when my girls are unlikely to ever wear them again isn't really my t…
In keeping with the crazy sock trend that shows no sign of waning, we're seeing super fun patterns of rain boots for toddlers this year and we love it! - Now updated to include the new Hunter for Target rain boot collection! - Yep, it's …
For years, I have raved about TKEES sandals , and for good reason. More fashionable than rubber flip flops but just as comfy, they've become my summer shoe staple . And they hold up so well, even while taking a pounding on NYC streets, t…
At long last, the much coveted and beloved Hunter Boots have come to Target and I am here for it! I am not only here, I am stomping my feet in stylish puddle-jumping preparation . This post has been updated to reflect the new collection …
I never thought I'd see the day that fanny packs were showing on the Fashion Week runways and touted by designers as a hot new accessory, and yet here we are. Only, don't call them fanny packs. They're belt bags , sweetie sweetie dahling…
It's been a long, cold, snowy -- did I mention cold? -- winter for lots of us and yeah. I'm done with that. So just perusing out the collection of new TOMS spring shoes is giving me joy. Like proof that I only have to bide a few more wee…
While some years have been fashion misses for us (oof, that 2017 Pantone Greenery was a tough one), we're all about Pantone's 2018 color of the year , which is a rich, royal-looking, totally wearable Pantone Ultra Violet . Whether it's a…
One of the most frequent questions I've gotten from Spawned listeners is: what is the best white t-shirt for women? Well, hey! I'm the perfect, super opinionated person to answer that question because white t-shirts are a staple for me y…
You will not be seeing me in a romper... this summe r. I mean, I have learned never to say never (see also my snark about skinny jeans in the early CMP days, ha), but until I'm size supermodel (hahahaha hahaaha haaaaa!!) I will happily l…
I've been loving the rainbow fashion trend I'm seeing everywhere, and there are so many rainbow dresses for girls I'm seeing, that just perfect for Easter. (Provided the weather actually feels like spring...in spring! Raise your hand if …
Spring is in the air, and the shoes this year are adorable. Metallic shoes for girls (and boys) started trending last year, but from what we've seen, this style isn't going anywhere anytime soon. From sneakers to sandals, we're seeing to…
I've always been a fan of Nordstrom. The company pays their employees well, they offer a lot of flexibility to part-time or telecommuting workers (like parents), they've lead the way with strong anti-discrimination policies, and they alw…
Last week, I was fortunate to attend a reception hosted by Marlo Thomas (!) and spend some time talking about life, womanhood, Free to Be You and Me , education, kids, femininity, being sexy at any age, and of course, her chic new throwb…
I admit I am very skeptical of subscription boxes of clothing like Stitchfix (we published a terrific, brutally honest she said/she said post on it that's worth a read) since I have very particular tastes and I tend to know what shapes I…
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 ,…
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…
Though I haven't been able to pack away the winter boots just yet (and really, spring, where are you?), I'm pretty sure the warm weather will be here soon. To help us all get ready for no-socks season , I've rounded up five of the most r…
