Blue Buttercream Vintage Plastic Bubbleite and Brass Necklace by momomatic

First to recommend

Description

This is my newest addiction -- Momomatic's jewelry is cheeky, pretty, and feminine. Her light touch with vintage materials is spectacular. And the prices cannot be beat. Hurry! Go and buy something. Go, scat!

HOLLY AIKEN BAGS

2 people recommended this item

Description

I discovered Holly Aiken's line of all-vinyl bags last month, when my three-year-old threw up in my handbag.

Yes. Vomited. In my handbag. At a restaurant. Ain't motherhood grand?

Looking for a bag that was both chic and durable wasn't a simple task. But this designer's wares are exactly that.

Made of tough webbing and vinyl inside and out, my new tote can be turned inside out and hosed down the next time my daughter decides to hurl in my purse.

Another plus is that Aiken's products are made entirely in the US, and by purchasing them you support a woman-owned small business.

What else could a mom ask for?

Trust me, you'll want to buy the wallet, too. (via Canape)

Fur Lined Slouchy Boots

First to recommend

Description

Did someone say fur-lined? It gets cold here. In fact, it is ALREADY cold here.

I am in love with these boots. It will take me 25, 100-word blog entries to get them and each word will seem a little sweeter with these boots on my mind.

Hey, a girl's gotta have goals, right?

Delia's "Cameo Crew" Sweater

2 people recommended this item

Description

This is cute, inexpensive and not your average sweater. I'm going to wear it with skinny black pants, over a white button-down shirt. Add my red Payless slingbacks and I'm ready for a hip, non-mom uniform day.

Sigh. All dressed up and nowhere to go.

Long-sleeve femme ruffle top

First to recommend

Description

I'm a sucker for J. Crew. Always have been. I was so excited when we got one in my hometown ... and then I got pregnant.

Now we live 134 miles (yes, I checked) from the nearest store. But take heart - the Internet saves the day again. Thanks, Al Gore!

This will skim my hips and hide my belly. And it is machine-washable. What more could a mom ask for? Well, a lot, actually. But this will do for now.

Jacelyn slingback

2 people recommended this item

Description

Susan W. is right. These shoes - well, they rock. They look like a pump and feel like a sneaker.

I hope that isn't still trademarked.

AnyWHO, these are super-cute and super comfy. Make the other moms green with envy and wear these red shoes to the playground. They'll hate you for running like a gazelle in your kitten heels.

These look and feel like they cost $140, not $14.

Thanks, Susan! (via SusanW)

Hooty Laptop Sleeve

First to recommend

Description

I just got some writing gigs and a mom-on-the-go can't be bogged down with a big bag. This sleek envelope protects my second baby from getting banged around inside the diaper bag. Ideal for students, bloggers, gamers, writers and especially Mac lovers (sorry, I'm biased), or anyone who likes to bring their laptop on the road with them.

And it is super-cute. Owls? How cool is that?

Low-Rise Cords

First to recommend

Description

Wear these with the slouchy cropped sweater. The fit is FANTASTIC and the stretch is very forgiving. The size 10 are loose on me - I heart these. 'Nuff said.

Cropped Rib-Knit Sweater

First to recommend

Description

I'm probably too old to wear this ....

This is where you say I'm not too old. Geez, do I have to tell you how to do everything?

This is cute and cozy but not bulky. I like it a lot, with a pair of cords and a tank. Warm but not suffocating. Hip but not TOO hip for this baby's mama. And at $22 you can't beat the prices.

Description

This has been out of stock and I've been watching diligently to see when they were restocked.

Wait, is that the right subject-verb agreement? Whatever.

This shirt makes me laugh. And dude, if you are a mom, you need a good laugh now and then.
