I reluctantly retired my favorite brown leather handbag for the summer and decided to give canvas a try. And let's just say, I'm going to have a hard time going back once it starts to get cold again. Indeed this adorable houndstooth bag …
The season has definitely changed around here, which means I'm putting away the sweaters and long pants, and switching handbags. Of course this leads to much hand wringing considering I'm completely attached to my super great, but very w…
I love all the flower-embellished accessories right now, even if it's so ubiquitous that Gap and J Crew are all over it. But so are our favorite indie labels. Take a look at this sweet hand-knit rose clutch from CMP's beloved site, Shoka…
I have a very valuable piece of information that I will share with you. It's the Number One Thing that you should consider when buying a diaper bag, and it comes from a mother that has had at least quadruple the number of diaper bags as …
Here's why I hate most diaper bags: So many of them are made with the baby in mind, not the mama. They have ducks or sailboats on them, and they don't have any place for your own gear. But Ellington's Hannah tote , that's different. It i…
When I'm window shopping the web, it's always dangerous to stop on the Etsy homepage, where their editors are carefully curating millions of items down into just the very ones that I have to have. (How do they do that?) A recent find: Th…
I've coveted Shiraleah's handbags after spotting them on CMP favorite Darlybird, and I recently scooped up a forest-green pleather style which has gone with me everywhere. Until this morning. That's when my mother told me she'd heard tha…
I love handbags. I mean, really, I love handbags -- they're the perfect accessory, because they're beautiful and practical. Your stuff has to go somewhere, after all. And right now, I am extra super in love with the Tabitha bag from Help…
Welcome to our annual year-end roundup of our favorite picks of the year! Trying to cull down our favorites is never easy, but this year, with more than a thousand posts to go through...well, let's just say we could have picked about twe…
This is the second in a series of sponsored posts about organization for MomAgenda, makers of fabulous looking, smartly designed organizers including the ultra swanky Personal Portfolio , which has been called the Cadillac of MomAgendas.…
I love that the eco-bag revolution has taken over to the degree that even the nasty, old supermarket in my neighborhood is trying to encourage the use of reusable grocery bags. But one thing I've realized is that those cute canvas totes …
During my days as a funky bottle-cap belt and Chuck wearing singleton, Harveys seatbelt bags made from actual seatbelts were it . And apparently, they still are, but now for the hip baby mamas. While their exclusive Camo bag (my fave) is…
My makeup lives permanently in my makeup bag, which seems to live permanently on my bathroom counter. Having a pretty bag for my lip gloss is important to me, since I'm looking at it all the time. So when I saw chic Aussie designer (and …
So maybe the first time we told you about the Flip & Tumble reusable shopping bags that you can just fold up into a teeny little ball and toss in your purse , you liked it...but you just weren't wowed by the solid prints. Well now Flip &…
If you're looking for a little sumpin' sumpin' that will brighten your day and class up your look for fall , take a look at the hot color this season - red. Think of it as a little reward for surviving summer (and all those pastels) inta…
We make no bones about loving cool stuff here at Cool Mom Picks, and while we'd love to sport every single thing we feature, we haven't yet won the lottery. So when we happen upon sites that let us snag the designer stuff at ridiculously…
My childless co-workers are intrigued by my ability to open almost anything with one hand. I did not possess these mad skillz when I was a new mom. So while the diaper clutches from Kristi G Diaper Bags touted the "EZ-Wipe System," I was…
All this back to school shopping for my daughter has gotten in the mood for fall. And for me, that means pulling out my favorite boots and looking for a brand new diaper bag. We're already huge fans of the Baby Kaed bags from mom Lavinia…
It's hard to believe a few short years ago, a diaper bag looked like (gasp) a diaper bag. Today, diaper bags are allowed to look like clutches, like hobo bags, like totes - pretty much anything besides something actually designed to help…
We're already huge fans of the kids' backpacks from Dante Beatrix as we already revealed (again) this week, so it's not surprising that they've got some new items we're adding to the must-have-it-NOW-NOW-NOW list. First of all, their new…
Say that you need a giant-sized tote bag for the beach next weekend -- or if you're a family of geeks like mine, your library books -- and you're just not the preppy major-label canvas tote type. And say that you not only want something …
Both Liz and I espoused the greatness of Crystalyn Kae's Soiree bag - so much so that it was our pick for Cool Mom Picks Bag of the Year in 2008. So when we found out that she made a few changes to her original design to turn it into a d…
Considering my bag addiction, now infamous with my husband and our credit card company if not all of you, I can't believe I'm about to tell you how to avoid buying another diaper bag. Thanks to the Pishposh Mommy quick zip bag , you can …
I was just thinking it's been a while since I saw any fun new diaper bags to get excited over, and then CMP fave Hedvig Bourbon goes and reads my mind and creates well, some fun new diaper bags to get excited over. The trendy Brooklyn de…
