Staple LBD

When we opted to have kids we knew that it would entail countless sacrifices –including less closet space. With little room to spare, our closets have become shockingly well edited. In fact, while we used to be so all about the hoarding, we now strictly (ok - semi-strictly), adhere to a policy of only buying something if we sell or donate something else from our closet.

It’s this mindset that has us loving dresses like this 40’s Day to Party Dress from Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent that actress Jamie Lynn Sigler recently wore [...]

Portable travel guides

Luxe City Guides are the posh version of your run-of-the-mill Zagat and Frommer’s. The guides cover 31 cities from Asia to America and Europe and they’re all formatted to be super-svelte (i.e. they’re light and compact– golden words for those of us traveling with kids in tow).

When finding ourselves in a blemish pinch, we swear by the Clarisonic, but even [...]

Vivid Radiance Serum

It pains us to see 40-something year old celebrities perfectly wrinkle free, so we’re not gonna lie, we did find some joy in seeing those un-retouched Harper’s Bazaar images of Jennifer Aniston surface. I mean we’ve been applying wrinkle prevention treatments since our mid-20s and even those can’t hide all of the stress and anxiety that come with being a working mom.

Our hubbies are always telling us that we look our best when we’re completely makeup free and by no means do we usually agree with that, but if we’re going to skimp on makeup for date night [...]

Artisan Flat Bread Crackers
It’s tempting to blame someone or something else every time we host a dinner party and inevitably end up running an hour behind. Excuses, excuses we know (the nanny was late, the hubby never picked-up the baguette, one of the kids needed their painful swimmer’s ear treated…it’s always something in the [...]
