Nuxe Tonific Minceur

Tonific_minceur_tube Consider this a secret weapon in your beauty arsenal. Nuxe Paris' extra-smoothing concentrated cream-gel is a complex blend of natural caffeine, Peruvian Liana plant, Yacon root, red algae gel, sacred lotus extract, bamboo and cocoa beans. What's it all for? To combat evil cellulite. I figure if I'm going to slather on lotion anyway, why not use a fat-fighting formula? It smells and feels terrific and if you use it for just two weeks straight, you'll notice results. Buy Nuxe Tonific Minceur Gel Duo at Beauty.com

Mike & Chris Darcy Hoody

Mcdarcy It wouldn't be the start of a new season in fashion if I didn't select something from Mike & Chris. Per usual, I adore most (if not all) of the entire Fall 08 collection. One item in particular that has earned a top spot on my fall fashion wishlist is the Mike & Chris Darcy Hoody in Dove Grey. Wear it with short shorts while the weather is still warm. And enjoy it during fall and winter with your favorite jeans—it would look cute with skinny or wide-leg jeans, in both light or dark washes. Buy it at Blaec.com

Little Giraffe Chenile Satin Dot Blanky

Cpbkt__2detail Even though I'm a first-time mom I managed to become an expert on baby gear long before I gave birth. I pretty much had everything covered. But one thing I didn't have on my list, and now consider a must-have item, is this little blanket. We received the Little Giraffe blanky from a friend and it really is a fabulous gift! Of course we have tons of blankets but this one is just his size—perfect for him to hold and just the right size to cover him when he's napping in the swing or Ouef Lounger. To see styles, visit LittleGiraffe.com and shop here.

Mayle Veva Dress

Default One of the many advantages of living in a warm climate is that fall clothes include short sleeve dresses. The Mayle Veva Dress is on my wishlist because I love the flowy silhouette—wear it belted as shown, or loose. You'll have to zoom in to see the pretty print of watercolored cut-outs by artist Agnes Barley, inspired by Japanese aesthetics. The beautiful print is punctuated with pleated black fabric at the neck and waist tie. Slight gathering at the neckline prevents the dress from looking to boxy. And in 100 percent silk it hangs beautifully against the curves of the body. If you happen to live in a not-so temperate locale, wear this frock with tights and layer it over a long sleeve tee. Buy it at LaGarconne.com

Organic Giraffe Scarves

Organ2000013049_prod_zoom_back_v1_mDesigner Emily Wallach made a name for herself with a collection of cool handbags and now she's branching out further into the accessories market with a collection of simple and chic scarves. Organic Giraffe Scarves are made of super-soft, cozy cotton and come in purple, white, red and blue. I'm tempted to get all four colors so I can always have one on hand. I think it might become one of my diaper bag essentials since it can easily cover a spit-up spot on my t-shirt and will save me from changing four times a day, which is what I've been doing lately. Buy them at ShopBop.com

Tiny TOMS

Tomsshoes_cbb I've been tempted to pick up a pair of TOMS shoes for myself a few times. Surely you've seen these casually chic shoes at your favorite boutiques. But for those who don't know, the brand was created by former Amazing Race contestant Blake Mycoskie after a visit to Argentina in which he witnessed the sad sight of countless shoeless children. And so TOMS shoes was born and for every pair of TOMS sold, a pair is donated to a child in need. In 2008, the company expects to donate 200,000 pairs. I think it's time I pick up a pair for myself and my baby boy. Tiny TOMS come in kids' sizes 2-10 (birth - 4 years). Buy them at TomsShoes.com

Little Peanut Fall Collection

Littlepeanut_boy003When this super-cool kids shop opened a mere three blocks from my home, I knew I was in trouble. Peek Aren't You Curious is always fully stocked with incredibly stylish baby and kids clothes. It's no wonder that oftentimes when baby and I are out for a stroll we somehow end up popping in this fabulous baby boutique. My current obsession is the Little Peanut line for baby boys. The new fall collection includes these cool tees that are a nod to the environment. Peek's design philosophy is to create sophisticated children's gear that is also thought-provoking and sparks a conversation between parents (and older children). Shop online or check for a store location near you at PeekArentYouCurious.com

Martine Sitbon Cuffed Patent Leather Bag

Msmss2001412560_prod_zoom_front_v_2 It's been a few months since I've acquired a new handbag. I'm feeling the need to satisfy my addiction. One look at the "what's new" handbag section of ShopBop and I fell in love before getting to page two. This slouchy, soft leather beauty is by Martine Sitbon. The name alone imbues style and sophistication. The design, however, is an undeniable mix of casual and chic—a perfect everyday bag for any fashion lover. Buy it at ShopBop.com, fill it with your essential gear, and enjoy carrying it for many seasons to come.
