A Fancy Fanny

Finally, the pack is back – albeit far lovelier than the nylon counterpart of yesteryear. While the contents may differ (sadly, I’m no longer carting Dr. Pepper Bonne Bell Lipsmackers to King’s Island), it turns out a gal’s need for a fanny pack never really does go out of style. This version – a forever

Bloomers

If ever there were a summer staple for the under-1 crowd, it’s the bloomer. My favorite is this no-frills style from ARQ, cut from high-quality organic cotton and garment-dyed to perfection. Only the best for those dimpled cheeks, yes? To Buy: Baby Basic Bloomer ($15) at ARQ

And yet, our front porch has been neglected for years. Opting instead to

The Perfect Tee

Life with young kids means, for me, tees are in heavy rotation. A quick swipe of the hem for nursing, a shirttail handy for wiping a small boy’s tears after a bicycle fall. Something light and comfy; something I won’t fret over when the inevitable coffee spills down my front, or the banana pancake flips

Buttoned Up

The perfect white button-up is surprisingly complicated to find, and this one is it. Non-bunching? Uh-huh. Knot-able? You betcha. Perfectly lightweight, can-definitely-be-tucked, incredibly crisp? Check, check, check. Perhaps best of all, it’s made ethically, creating job opportunities for at-risk women living in the slums of New Delhi – restoring hope, dignity, and freedom that creates

Summer Knits

A short-sleeved sweater may seem like the ultimate style oxymoron, and yet – its versatility is unmatched. Tucked into midi skirts for summer traipsing and layered under blazers/jackets/coats for the wintriest of wonderlands, it’s a single knit with endless possibility. My current favorite? This beauty in Tonka Bean – vegan-dyed and made from cotton that
