Chic to the Core

All things chic - at every price.

The New MomMay 05, 2008

Whether she's your best friend, co-worker, or sister-in-law, chances are you know a new mom. If you are a new mom youself, maybe you'll find something to hint about!



All moms know that beauty is hard when you're chasing after little ones. Thankfully the people at 3CC have thought of that and made a Mom on the Go kit! It comes in warm and cool but at $98 it's a bit high but 3CC isn't exactly known for it's cheap products.

Do diaper bags come any chicer than this? Storksak's "Emily" can be your friend's (or yours) for $168!

Lucky you! Maxi dresses are easy and right on trend! This one from Diane von Furstenberg is colorful, forgiving, and has breast access for feedings. Now all you need is some gladiators!

Yes, that is a Dior baby bottle. But what baby of a fashionable mama wouldn't want it?! Ok, it's more about the mama not the baby. At $40 (yikes!) it comes in silver, blue, or pink.

What mom (or anyone really) wouldn't love a heart lock bracelet from Tiffany? This one has "Mom" written on it and is so fab she could wear it with jeans or a ballgown!

I don't think I could actually use these Bvlgari Soaps because they are too cute! This is probably as useful as Johnson's baby wash but again, it's more of a mama luxury thing!

What more could a new mom want than a little breakfast in bed? Thanks to Philosophy you can have that and a hot bath too!

Because it's pretty much the coolest thing ever, a pink wagon. I know you're jealous and wish you had one for yourself. I know I do!

The Eco-Friendly MomMay 05, 2008

I have to admit, I'm not the most eco-friendly person but this isn't about me. It's about your mom! If she's all about reusable bags at the grocery store and reclaimed hardwood floors, then I have some perfect gifts that will make her full of love for you and the earth!



This adorable Max Studio dress for $98 is made from bamboo broadcloth so it's eco-chic and light and airy!

Now this is a hot bag! TheStella McCartney for LeSportsac Everyday Tote, is made of nylon and synthetic leather. It's a bit steep at $350 but I'm sure she'd be drooling all over it!

If your mom loves to keep her face looking fresh with a little dab of color, the Korres Color Discovery Kit for $35 is a bit of everything she's looking for.

Need a little sparkle on her wrist? Then this Alex and Ani bangle set maybe what you're looking for! The bracelets are made from recycled metals, shells, and glass beads and can be bought for $77.

I love this bamboo salad bowl from GLOBO. It comes in a variety of colors and is just so... punchy! With this bowl, your mom's table is sure to feel a little more like summer.

Lining the inside of your drawers gives a refreshing hint of color. Most drawer liners are made of paper but these Floral Liners are made from recycled cotton remnants so I guess it's like lining your drawers with money?

Speaking of paper, these Confetti Vases aren't made for flowers but they are made to look pretty! The paper is recycled so no worries to be had!

Unless you can afford Stella, feminine eco-friendly shoes can be hard to come by. Cri De Coeur has some super-cute low wedges for $120! Not only would they look great with a sundress, Cri De Coeur will plant a tree for every pair of shoes sold.
