Since my kids are rarely get super dressed up, save a few special events over the holidays, I'm always looking for a more versatile option for my girls than a formal coat. And with the new riding hoods at House of Lux, I think I may have…
We call my oldest daughter a mini version of her beloved aunt, my sister. And it's no surprise that my sister's "mini me" would love her style as well, like her penchant for soft scarves thrown around her neck as soon as the temperature …
There's something to be said for well-made kids' accessories , right? Something else to be said for well-made kids' accessories that sport some of the most adorable designs around. But it's something else entirely when we're talking well…
Considering the battle that awaits me each day just to get my two-year-old to wear pants, you can probably imagine what it's like trying to get a coat on her. Let's just say I've thought about just not leaving the house for the next six …
My kids lose scarves and gloves like uh...well, like kids lose scarves and gloves. While I covet so many high end handmade options, I know I take quite a risk knowing that two mittens may head out the door in the morning, and only one wi…
Yes, I pretty much love everything from Shokay. Their gorgeous, hand-knit, fair trade items have made it into our baby shower gift guide , our 2010 holiday gift guide --and now, even our Cool Mom Tech gift guide . No, they're not making …
First I was excited about boot weather. But now that I'm firmly settled into my kickers, I'm ready for the next stage -- scarf weather. Even though I've got a killer line-up waiting in my closet, like any good scarfaholic, I always need …
I've been smitten with Stella McCartney's exclusive clothing line for the Gap for two seasons in a row, so when I heard she launched a new collection of her very own, I just had to check it out. And while this collection is priced higher…
This post also appears on the Gap 1969 Stream along with tons of photos, articles, inspiration, and tips about denim. It's so funny having to say that denim is in for kids because, hello, was it ever out? I adore seeing denim now in surp…
I love having a son. The way he has to touch every wheel he sees--even if it's on some random stranger's Rollerblade--is so cute. My only complaint about giving birth to a boy, as opposed to a girl, is the sheer lack of cool clothing opt…
Yesterday was the most absolutely perfect early fall day, but today? This gray sky is reminding me of what's to come. I don't know about you, but I get a little grumpy in the wintertime. By the end of winter, I'm a lot grumpy. The Scandi…
As a resident of the Deep South, my kids tend to not need a heavy duty coat until mid-winter, which means we're generally relegated to the plain old sweaters, hoodies, and fleece jackets. But with this year's trend of jersey knit jackets…
One night this week, a cold breeze wafted through the window, really for the first time, and I was struck with the horror that it's October now. And soon I would have to get the kids off to school with more than the backpacks on their ba…
One of the frequent questions we get from readers is about finding girl shoes that are sturdy, well-built, stylish and not pink . Not that there's anything wrong with pink, of course. But there's more to life--and girls' footwear--than b…
I know what you're thinking-- Why is the Georgia girl recommending mittens? Because I'm the biggest sissy about cold, that's why. But I'm proud to say that we have three whole inches of snow right now, and I sent my kids straight outside…
So when I first saw the email from Jennifer Dutcher asking us to check out her new business called Rock-a-thigh Baby , I admit to having visions of baby high heels and feather boas. On the contrary, this mom of four has created a pretty …
The stories are true. It gets darn cold up here in Canada in the winter. The kind of cold that makes your kids stand inside, shivering as they look out the front door, let alone open it and walk out. So, if we ever want to go anywhere at…
I remember feeling pretty annoyed with everyone telling me how difficult it was to have a winter baby - more blankets, big coats, being stuck in the house all day. The list goes on. But what they all failed to mention was the adorablenes…
Oh I know how it is. You've got a May due date (or so), and while you swore you wouldn't buy one more maternity piece, you hit January and your current wardrobe is causing actual mental anguish, you're sick of the cold, you're sick of fe…
If I'm going to go through the trouble of suiting up three kids to play in the snow, they had better stay out there for longer than it took me to get them dressed. But an armful of snow lodged in the wrist is a total bummer, so back befo…
Oh please tell me I'm not the only woman on the planet (or at least the island of Manhattan) who just can't do the spiky stiletto heel thing. I know they're trendy and fabulous and make your legs look great and all - but uh, no. So I'm a…
There may be nothing more perfect on a baby girl than a simple little white hat. No pompons, no animal ears, no purple organza flowers bigger than the baby's own head. I found a serious contender, a hand-knit baby hat from Natural Star, …
I'm looking for simple, solid color winter tights in 3T that won't break the bank. -Kristina As the weather has officially turned here in Atlanta, I've also been on the lookout for winter tights for both my girls, Kristina. I dug around …
My four year-old daughter recently informed me that jeans were "stupid." Which, okay. Not the term I would use, but I get her point that she'd rather be wearing a dress, even to kick a soccer ball in the park. I know for a fact mom, desi…
