Kathy Rose For Roseark Manta Ray Cuff in Rose Gold & Pavé Black Diamonds $14,000
Last night I was surfing a little jewelry porn at Roseark, and when I hit this (no pun intended) my heart literally began to race; I think I might have even gotten a little sweaty. I was so desperate to share my bracelet-lust that I called J over – he was supremely underwhelmed. Some things are best enjoyed alone I guess…pity.
I love, love, love this one, if I do say so myself! I think it would put any girl in the holiday party mood, so book your Mystic Tan now and get ready to whip out the beer bong! Just kidding…wanted to see if you were paying attention.

Funky Music Top (Child) in 'Greymelange' $26
Folklore Maternity Tunic $59.50
All Over Stripe Eco Leggings (Child) in 'Colonial Blue' $30
Wind Fleece Bunting in 'Poppy' $72.50
…for about sixty different reasons! Paramount amongst them, is that fact that not only are their clothes simple, modern, and comfy, 30% of every collection is designed around a UNI(sex) concept. Having not found out the sex of my children during either pregnancy (and having fielded the ridiculous and unending question, ‘But how will you know how to decorate the nursery?!’ ), by the time of their arrival I was lousy with yellow, green, and white ensembles. Polarn’s newborn ECO collection is not only almost entirely designed with UNI in mind, it’s also made from 100% organic cotton and produced in a green manufacturing process.
Where have they been all your life? Unbeknownst to me, PO.P began in Stockholm in 1976, and has grown to over 100 stores across Sweden and Europe. It’s now available in the United States at polarnopyretusa.com, with retail locations to follow. Had I known about them prior to my first pregnancy, you better believe I would have scooped up their clean and classic signature stripe for not only my babies, but also for myself – that’s right – there’s maternity and nursing wear!
If you’re not already chomping at the bit? PO.P and L.A. Stylist Mom have teamed up to create a FREE SHIPPING code valid through midnight PST on Friday, November 13th; simply enter LAPOP at checkout. We’re also giving away a Wind Fleece Bunting for baby worth $72.50, in the size and color of your choice!* All you have to do to enter is visit polarnopyretusa.com, and leave a comment here letting us know which PO.P item is your fave – that’s it! Good luck, and happy shopping from LASM and PO.P…

*Size and color choice contingent upon availability.
Sophia Carlo Infinity Scarf in Light Gray $45
I’ve been on the lookout for one of these that isn’t super skinny – score! Found it at Ideeli originally marked at $120. It comes in a bunch of different colors, but is only around for another day or so – in case you’re not a member of Ideeli yet, click here for an invitation! (Also loving its disclaimer of: “Please note, some stray yarns will fall off, but the scarf wears well and there isn’t an issue with further yarn loss after that initial period.” WTF? If it disintegrates I’ll let you know…)

Further proof that just because you’re a mom, doesn’t mean you can’t be fashionable. (And without having to spend a lot of cash.) Exhibit #001: D. At home, on a Sunday afternoon, look cuter. (And yes my chic mommy friends, beware; this does in fact mean that you are now fodder for my website.) After telling her about seven times how much I was digging her outfit, D sweetly acquiesced and allowed me to take her photo…and grill her about her ensemble item by item (details below). Yet another opportunity to demonstrate that having kids isn’t synonymous with looking schlubby. Thanks D! xoxo
Banana Republic Heritage Ruffle-Collar Shirt $24.99, GAP Destructed Boyfriend Jeans $59.50, Bernardo ‘Dream’ Flats in ‘Pewter Glove’ $129, Coopersong ‘Hipster’ Eco-Tote in Black $55
(All other jewelry and accessories are either no longer available, or cannot be purchased online.)
'Little Birdie' Raglan Peasant Dress/Top $28
'Safari Giraffe' Jumper/Swing Top $45
'Grow With Me School Days' Owl Poncho $50
'Tea In Osaka' Long Sleeved Raglan Peasant Top $28
It’s no secret that I have a tough time putting the brakes on purchasing little dude clothes, but if I had girls? It could be a Chapter 11 sitch, and The Trendy Tot would be zero help. This stuff is so crazy cute, that it makes me want to weep for all of its sweetness (those chubby fingers and tiny pigtails could be a contributing factor). I’m a total sucker for any handmade, quilted looking, kids stuff, reminiscent of the things my grandmother used to (and my Aunt Carol still does) seem to so effortlessly whip together.
Jen at TTT is also one smart cookie; her items are made from 100% pre-shrunk cotton, and most of them are ’season-less’ for close to year-round wear. I also love how she shows the short sleeved tops and dresses, layered over long sleeved tees. She touts her designs as “forgiving of the almighty growth spurt,” with jumpers later becoming swing tops, and peasant dresses turning into, well – you get it. Just in time for the holiday shopping kickoff, enjoy free shipping courtesy of The Trendy Tot and L.A. Stylist Mom, through Friday, November 20th; simply enter LASTYLE in the comments section of the payment process. And hey – if the Elephant Jumper is good enough for Shiloh…? That’s right.
Stella McCartney 'Amber Chatting' Triangle Bra and French Knickers
Don’t know what’s up with me and Stella M.C. lately, but amazing, right…? I guess if you have a body that would make those shorts hang off your ass like that…and don’t mind trying to do up four side buttons while you’re rushing out the door with dried Yo Baby in your hair…and what about all that impractical, bunchy, shirring in the back? Not to mention the paycheck to cover it…why did I post about these again…?
Coopersong Mid-Hipster Bag in 'Black Eve' (14"H x 12"W) $50
Let’s face it; we’re living in a wasteful time. I’m not going to get preachy, but given the opportunity I’ll certainly do my part where I can, since I’m a firm believer that every little bit helps. Coopersong is no exception, with their line of bags and accessories crafted from all-natural, organic, and re-purposed materials. Founder DeAnna Cooper creatively utilizes recycled bicycle inner tubes (that once trekked miles through the Colorado mountains) as the handles on all of her bags. She also features other reclaimed items such as baseball leather, as well as buttons and buckles from the 1940’s.
I happen to love the Mid-Hipster Bag pictured, which would make the perfect ‘un-diaper’ diaper bag; better still when paired with the adorable, polka dotted, Mommy Packs, that include an insulated bottle bag and changing pad. There’s also an awesome retro-print Stroller Bag in a pattern called ‘Women,’ for those of you who prefer a true diaper bag. For kids both young and…not so young (that’s you), be sure to check out the insulated Eco Lunch Bag, that comes in your choice of what seems like a skillion different fabrics – stupid cute!
Now for the best part; if you happen to be in the Los Angeles area this coming weekend, Coopersong is having a trunk show*, with prices ranging from $3 to $90, including numerous styles and items not pictured on their website! Not only will you get the first up-close look at the Fall/Winter 2009 collection, there will be snacks, door prizes and a play area for your little ones, so you can SHOP. IN. PEACE. For those of you not in the L.A. area, L.A. Stylist Mom is giving away a $25 Coopersong gift certificate! To enter, simply visit the Coopersong website, choose your favorite item, and then leave a comment** on this post telling us what it is – that’s it! Hope to see you at the show, and if not, be sure to tell them I sent you!
*The Coopersong Trunk Show will be held on Friday, November 6th, from 1PM-7PM, and on Sunday, November 8th, from NOON-4PM. Please call 310.415.8474 for location and details.
**All comments must be received by the end of the giveaway on Wednesday November 11th, at 11:59 EST. The winner will be chosen at random, notified via e mail on Thursday November 12th, and announced on L.A. Stylist Mom Friday November 13th. Open to U.S. residents only.
