Just saying: The 6 Best Mommy Brands You are Going to Want to ROCK Right Now

Since becoming a mommy I've started to go through my closet and really consider what will work for me now and what I just need to let go of.  During the process, I've also been finding brands that really speak to the ever evolving moi:)  These are all brands that are designed by mommy's and I think keep moms looking fashionable, but are still functional.  The great thing is, anyone can wear any of these amazing labels.  Are there any you would recommend?

Tucker by Gaby Basora

Amazing dresses and now offers pants and shirts.  LOVE the prints and how you can dress up or down the dresses she designs.

TWO New York

I love my caftan by TWO NYC!  So comfy!  Great for travel, lounging at home, or if you are like me everyday wear:)

LemLem NYC

The model who designs these pieces goes to Ethiopia to have them designed.  I can't wait to own a dress!

Ace & Jig

I just learned about this label who used to design La Rok!  Now that they are mommies they are designing this line which I think has a mother-earthy vibe I'm digging.

Hatch Collection

This is a popular maternity line that women in NYC and probably elsewhere are also rocking.  They just came out with their fall line and I'm in LOVE!  Their spring line is on sale so check out the sale section.

Cleobella

This line is so cool!  Everything from home to accessories and clothes with an earthy feel.  Great prices too!

The look for less: Lemlem scarf vs. Merona Target Scarf

There is no denying that the Lemlem scarf is great quality and for a good cause...but, a good price is a good price. When I saw the Xhilaration scarf on sale I had to have it for only $8!

Lemlem scarf from J. Crew, $60

Caftans are always in style for me!  The only sad thing is that as easy, breazy as the caftan looks for some reason they are always so expensive.  I really want to make my own...but, here are the ones I really want.:

• I have been gushing over the lemlem designs since the first time I've seen them!  They also teamed up with my fave, J. Crew to sell these beautiful pieces!  
• I just found these Brooklyn made caftans by two.  I want everything!  The colors, the prints, everything is gorgeous!  Plus, they are all made in New York!
• Today I received an email from Anthro that made me super excited!  For the month of May they were inspired by INDIA and have items that are reflective of a caftan and other styles similar to Indian clothing.  I can't wait to get the catalog!  

I can't wait to see the caftans sold in the Calpyso collection at Target on May 1st!  The countdown is on!

Tory Burch and Rachel Roy are inspired by India.



The Resort 2011 line which I just purchased a pair of pants from was inspired by India meets the Alps.  I think that Tory is always inspired by India though with the colors, prints and styles like tunics she always uses.

Rachel Roy

Not only, is Rachel half Indian, she also incorporates her love of the county in her designs which I love.  This season she has earrings that I am gushing over and have to have right now!:)  Plus, much more!
