I bought my Danner Mountain Light hiking boots in 2016, in preparation for a trip. We were taking our two young boys to Iceland and had planned to do it up: explore towns, see natural wonders (read: waterfalls) and do a ton of hiking. Ideally, I needed a hiking boot that was waterproof...but one that wasn't overly heavy or...

I learned the value of waterproof hiking pants on our trip to Iceland, oh gosh...five years ago now? I didn't arrive in Iceland with waterproof hiking pants — quick-dry leggings are almost as good, right? — but after a few days of consistently wet legs, I became the...
Two years ago, I did a review of EILEEN FISHER's simplified capsule wardrobe, called The System. I reviewed a boxy silk shell (a v-neck version is in-stock here), a pair of Audrey-Hepburn-esque crepe pants, and these slouchy silk joggers. At the time, my nod went to the crepe pants as 'the favorite'. But that review came out in December...
With European countries easing travel restrictions, there's some ray of hope for those of us with wanderlust tendencies. Especially for those of us who are vaccinated and/or willing to get a negative COVID test prior to boarding...several of my favorite travel destinations (including Greece, Italy, France) have no-quarantine requirements. If you're interested in the details, AFAR has the details...
Let me tell you about the biggest hazard of working here at The Mom Edit. It's, hands-down, buying all.the.stuff that your colleagues make look SO freaking good. And thanks to the deep dive approach we take when it comes to evaluating fashion -- the trends, the specific pieces, the price points, the whole nine -- these purchases are usually...

I love a really great dress. There are very few items that can instantly elevate my mood like a well-made, fit-for-me frock. Donning a dress sometimes feels like a blossoming -- especially after a long winter (and this winter has certainly been very, very long).
But I'm funny about...
Some of you may remember I reviewed these beautiful Emerson Fry block printed cotton caftans last year...but these lovelies always sell out...every year. (Not a bad thing though, because we love that EF does sustainable, small-batch productions.) BUT...there are a bunch of gorgeous options in stock right now so I thought I best get on it and talk about...
A few articles ago, I had a "bleh" (technical term) try-on of the '90s Cheeky Jean from Everlane. Oh how I wanted these under $100 jeans to work. "Might as well also try on the MOTHER Denim Tomcat Ripped Crop Straight Leg Jeans I've been putting off just to cap off this failed try-on sesh," I thought grimly to...
At times I find myself inexplicably drawn to the bright, colorful and dramatic. Almost every spring, as a matter of fact. It's like I come out of winter with the highest of hopes, thinking that The New Spring Me will suddenly turn into someone who wears tassel earrings and ruffled, puff-sleeve crop tops.
Spoiler: she does not wear the tassel...
It’s springtime; the birds are singing louder, the sun feels warmer, and there is increasingly more light in the sky with each passing day. You’re about to go outside to soak up some much needed vitamins after the winter, and as you head to the door you slip on your favorite pair of boots.
BOOTS?
Surely, you meant sandals.
Nope! Believe...
