We love seeing crazy fun socks for women have become such a massive trend. And since I'm hoping that my socks continue to be not-boring, I started digging around for more statement-making socks . And naturally we fell down laughing when …
Flipping through some of the new projects on Kickstarter, the one that grabbed me right away was this hysterical concept for a unicorn pooping rainbows plush doll and scarf . Because unicorns poop rainbows, of course. I mean, duh. What's…
Back in 2006 when I approached Liz with this silly idea for a website called... wait for it... Cool Mom Shit , we both wanted to support mom-run businesses and the community of small makers and artisans that were making cool stuff for ki…
You might say we've got a little thing for accessories. And you might say that's a huge understatement. Which is why we have the best time all year poking around the internet, cruising the trade shows, and poking our heads into local jew…
First, you have to laugh at a shop called Wool and the Gang . (Take a sec...okay, there you go.) But when you look at their amazing selection of hand-knit accessories, and the knitting patterns you can buy, it turns out it's a massive re…
As busy mamas, we admit we don't always find the time to shop for ourselves. As we've heard more and more about Stitch Fix from friends posting photos of themselves in cute outfits from the online shopping service on social media, we've …

To say I'm a TKEES sandals fan is a bit of an understatement. Ever since I discovered them about four years ago, they've slowly become the only flip-flop style sandals I own. They're comfy and can take a bit of a beating, plus they're ch…
It's time for the big Nordstrom sale , which means up to 40% off on lots of goodies I might have kept on my wish list for a whole lot longer. Here, my 5 favorite fashionable items I'm crushing on right now that I hope you love too. CMP i…
Most of my friends, family, even my kids' classroom teachers know by now that FashionABLE is my go-to for gifts because they're all wearing something from them. Gorgeous scarves , fabulous totes , the list goes on. Well, now they've adde…
Maybe it's because spring is officially in the air, but mamas, I am definitely in love. With a diaper bag. More specifically, with the new Mod collection from Cool Mom Picks favorite Petunia Pickle Bottom . With three modern diaper bags …
I've been holding out on you, accessory-obsessed readers, and for that I apologize. The wonderful Adorn Milk , a beautifully curated new jewelry shop from our friend Jaime Derringer of Design Milk has been up for a few weeks and I've bee…
I only have one crossbody bag in my closet, which given my bag obsession seems ridiculous, I know, but I use it so much that I think it might be time to add another, like say this new one from Angela & Roi . How convenient! I love how ea…
We recently alerted you to the upcoming launch of Bezar , a new members-only marketplace from Bradford Shelhamer, one of the original founders of Fab. We knew we'd be able to expect the same phenomenal design sense, curation and discover…
I admit that like a lot of you, that it can get really hard, day after day, learning about yet another violent incident around the world; another area facing political unrest, turmoil, and terrible conditions, especially for women and ch…
With all this warmer weather, I can practically taste spring, which means slowly putting away the sweaters and boots and maybe, just maybe, getting ready to add a few new pieces to my wardrobe. The kind that aren't designed primarily to …
I don't know what it is about girls and purses. Maybe it's that even the youngest of us naturally feel the need to have a bag for every occasion. But it's never too early to start a healthy obsession with fun accessories, right? Which is…
We always love sharing awesome style collaborations between artists and cool companies, but even better when it's a friend, like the amazing author and photographer Karen Walrond , who's launched a line of VIDA scarves. We've known Karen…

I've seen my fair share of beautiful initial necklaces , many of which I own (funny how that happens), but none like these beautiful Sign Language Alphabet necklaces by Monserat De Lucca. I recently discovered them and wow. Talk about a …
I've coveted the beautiful personalized jewelry by Monica Rich Kosann ever since we first discovered it years ago, but the new Poesy rings in her ever-growing array of keepsake jewelry are probably my favorite yet, and just in time for V…
My kids have a slipper thing. I have no idea when or how it started, but they are obsessed, and very, very picky. This one is too slippery...that one is warm but scratchy.. . You can't imagine how many we try and never bother to buy--or …
I'm not surprised that Mavenhaus Collective instantly turned me into a fan before I was even off the homepage, especially considering it was created in part by our friend, Pinterest tastemaker extraordinaire Traci French of Blissful Blog…
