These are fantastic; a selection of designers created sketches of what they think the Duchess of Cambridge should wear, should she ever trade non-maternity shifts for a more traditional elastic option. Or, in princess terms, more belly room than a shift, but not so far as actual elastic. How much would you love having thirteen [...]

Off Topic: Pink Interrupts Concert for Crying Girl

Pink Instagram Breastfeeding

This totally redeems all of the local radio I’ve been listening to lately on the way to work. I was already a huge Pink fan, but love her even more after hearing this. You really do become more compassionate when you become a mother, especially to upset kids. I dare you not to tear up a [...]

DVF for Gap Kids, Round 2

Perhaps the best news that I’ve received this week is the pending second collaboration between DVF and Gap Kids. Hooray! I am a little shocked and perplexed at the news. Judging by the sales results at our local store, the first collection was not a hit. The sale rack was littered with DVF items long [...]

Watching the Inauguration speech made me weepy and proud. I know there are many out there who do not share my sentiments, but I think we absolutely got it right last November. I had the pleasure of living in England during the 2000 elections. I recall being ridiculed by all who learned that I was [...]

Recess is Over

I took a brief hiatus this week from posting, for no other reason than it seemed immensely, unbearably sad to me to talk about silly things like baby socks and hairbands after what happened in Newtown last week. Every time I tried to write I was stricken with a piercing realization about something new that the victims’ [...]

Snooki announced yesterday that she is expanding her line of slippers into infant and kids sizes. Talk about hindering your kid’s walking development.

Designer collaborations are huge right now and the one that I have my eyes on is the Diane Von Furstenberg for Gap Kids collection. There are some designers that you naturally are just drawn to and DVF always calls my name. Wrap dresses flatter my figure and the prints are just wild enough to shake [...]
