Loft has a number of cute things lately, including this spotted skirt dress, which is that rare mix of fun and sophisticated. I like the dark colors, the modest hem and high neckline — I think it would look great with knee-high boots and a chunky cardigan on a casual day, or a blazer and … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Spotted Skirt Dress

Old Navy is having a maternity sale (prices up to 40% off) through October 1, and I like a lot of what I see in there. This jersey shift dress (pictured) looks chic, and I like that it’s machine washable — it was $33 but is now marked to $30, available in sizes XS-XXL. I … Read More about Maternity Monday: Jersey Shift Dress
I love the more subdued, textured patterns and colors that LeSportsac is coming out with lately. Take, for example, this Everygirl tote, made out of their classic nylon. At 12.25″ x 7″ x 12″, it isn’t huge but strikes me as plenty big for all of your stuff and — in early days, at least — … Read More about Finally Friday: Everygirl Tote
When my first son was born I got obsessed with a terrycloth cardigan from Old Navy. (How obsessed? I am sorry to tell you that, in what I hope was a bout of postpartum hormones, I wore it to my 35th birthday party). Anyhoo: I’m on the hunt for a new one, and I like … Read More about Everyone Thursday: Drape Neck Zip Cardigan

With my first son, I ignored all of this stuff about teething necklaces — no, I didn’t wear necklaces around him, but I didn’t really want to encourage him biting my jewelry anyway. This time around… well, it’s all a bit different. With a kiddo who is possibly teething early, and super easily distracted, I’m … Read More about Feeding Tuesday: Bitey Beads
Happy Monday! I like the look of this highly-rated “crinkle” maternity dress from Tees by Tina. Although it seems suspicious that one size fits women sized 2-10, most of the reviewers really seem to love it. It’s $98 at Nordstrom. Tees by Tina ‘Crinkle’ Maternity Dress (Psst: here’s a dress that is not only less … Read More about Maternity Monday: Crinkle Maternity Dress
I haven’t heard of this brand “Walking Cradles” before, but they’re highly (highly!) rated on Zappos, and these strappy 2.5″ heels are one of their top rated styles. It looks like a comfortable and versatile shoe, and it’s $94 at Zappos. (I’m also a fan of this style and this style.) Happy weekend! Rose Petals Caliente … Read More about Finally Friday: Rose Petals Caliente Slingback
A lot of women feel like they lose a bit of glamour when they become mothers — there are a million reasons for this, including that huge bag of stuff we now have to haul around when traveling with bebe. My own personal items have become so sparse that I suddenly realized, when leaving the … Read More about Everyone Thursday: Berkley Large Clutch
L, a pregnant reader, wrote in to recommend this piece: “I thought I would share with you a great blazer I just got at Target.

I think it fit true to size and looks like I paid a lot more than I … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Merona Tailored Ponte Blazer
After I delivered my first son, I’ll admit it: I was just in the hospital gown for the entire stay. I heard the same from a lot of my friends — it can be a really overwhelming experience. As I prepared for my second son’s birth, though, I decided to buy this lovely nursing nightgown … Read More about Feeding Tuesday: Baby Be Mine Sleeveless Maternity Nursing Nightgown
