Jacadi: Dress Your Cutie for Summer

As a style-conscious mom of three kids of varying ages (1, 12 and 19), I’ve seen and bought it all when it comes to children’s fashion. But I’m also cost-conscious, so I love chic brands like Jacadi that make high-quality, classic pieces that I can pass down or on to friends. And I’m in good company: celeb moms including Jennifer Garner and Katie Holmes are also fans of this French-based clothier. From striped sailor rompers and plaid frocks to polka dot sun hats and polo shirts, above are a few of my picks from Gilt’s sale. Make sure you’re there Monday, May 13 at noon ET!

Cool Mom Picks: Have the Ultimate Baby Shower!

It’s your last hurrah before your life changes forever, so this party better be good! We asked the moms behind CoolMomPicks.com (Kristen Chase and Liz Gumbinner) to share their tips on throwing the best baby bash — here’s how to plan a sweet soiree in honor of a sleek mom-to-be.

Make it memorable: We think throwing a memorable baby shower is like throwing any other fabulous party: Amazng food, delicious drinks (awesome mocktails perhaps?), and your family and friends celebrating with you.
