Mesh Tank a la Girls

Autumn Cashmere skull-tank

I’m sorry. I know this tank is probably really cute when paired with a little pair of jeans and worn over a tank top, but all I see when I look at it is a coked out Hannah from Girls. I recently became a huge fan of the show after discovering it one night on HBO On [...]

The Right Stuff

Mint-Collection

I had a total flashback moment last night. I was hanging out in bed after I put Anna down and started painting my nails while watching Bravo’s Wednesday night line-up. I love the Rachel Zoe / Brad Brad World / Watch What Happens Live sequence. I can’t get into Decades, but the rest is my [...]

Kids and Bubbles: The Dynamic Duo of Childhood

Honest Bubble Bath

In the great words of one of my favorite movies, Knocked Up, “I wish I liked anything as much as my kids like bubbles. That’s sad. Totally sad. Their smiling faces just point out your inability to enjoy anything.” Today is Bubble Bath Day, and I fully intend to celebrate the holiday with a bathtub [...]

Politically Active Babies

Obama-Romney-Baby-Clothing

No matter which side of the aisle you support this fall, your baby can show his love for politics with tiny Obama or Romney apparel. I will try to keep my opinions on the election to myself, but I have to note that the Romney clothes are decidedly bland, and waiver on multiple copyright infringements. [...]

Breaking Gender Roles – Football Jerseys

Anna OSU Jersey 090812 1

Football season is well underway. I really wanted to get Anna a jersey to wear on game days, but the only girly choices seemed to be the frou-frou pink jerseys that really irritate me, or cheerleader outfits. Red is not a boyish color. Why is it widely expected for girls to wear pink, regardless of [...]

The Last Glimmer of Summer

Anna white summer sweater

During the last week of August every year I notice that I always get a little down. It’s technically the last little bit of summer, though really that shouldn’t have much of an effect on me. Since I work full time in an office I really can’t be upset that my days of sunshine are numbered. [...]

Budget or Splurge: Mod Flower Dress

Budget-v-Splurge-Mod-Flowers-lg

Have you ever overpaid for something because you loved the design aesthetic, only to find something extremely similar the next day at a fraction of the cost? You don’t have to buy the top of the line brands if the thing that draws you to them is one particular detail. For example, if you love mod flower patterns [...]

Uniforms Go Mainstream

The Gap

I went to parochial school from K-12 and was forced to wear a uniform everyday. I have many opinions about the uniform mandate that I’ll save for a later rant, er… post. There are many reasons why I loathe school uniforms. When I was a kid and all of my other friends were going to [...]

Don’t miss Hatley’s one day sale tomorrow. On March 1 only, everything is 50% off! I have gotten a few pairs of pajamas for Anna there and they are consistently the pairs that I reach for at night. The fabric is thin, but it’s soft after a few washings. The fit is great in the [...]
