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...
Four months ago, during a Naadam sale, I took the plunge and ordered this Cashmere Ribbed Cropped Cardigan. While not a long cardigan girl, I'm 100% a fan of the cropped cardigan, even more when worn as a top.
If the word cropped scares you, do not worry. You won't show your midriff unless you want to.

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...
Washable silk. Two words that immediately grab my attention. I’m not a fan of getting things dry cleaned -- or anything that requires fuss, really. If it can withstand the delicate cycle in a laundry mesh bag, I’m interested. But when the word “washable” is right there in the description? Sold! Especially if it’s followed up with a luxurious...
Have you ever slipped into something so incredibly comfortable that you walked around your house saying "I never want to take this off" over and over and over? You fill your coffee cup and ponder in the morning light if you've known anything else so soft. Surely you've said "oooh this is amazing!" about countless other clothing items before,...
This year, I'm trying to be more aware of the pieces I grab all the time for styling. You may know at this point how much I adore styling up a pair of shoes or jeans a bunch of ways -- it's my absolute favorite thing to write about and do here. But then it dawned on me (and...
