Selecting a baby carrier can be a daunting task for any new parent, especially once the realization sets in that there are several types to consider (hello structured carriers, wraps & ring slings, to name a few)! Layer in personal preferences like weight, fabric, eco-consciousness and style and you could be down a shopping rabbit hole for hours.
One carrier that checks our boxes? The Ergobaby Aerloom carrier. It marries function & form with the added benefit of being eco-friendly and stylish. It also happens to be one of the lightest structured carriers on the market, weighing in at 1.45 lbs and is made from FormaKnit™ fabric in a seamless knit design inspired by the activewear industry (AKA breathable).
Not only is the fabric durable & breathable, (which will be key for wearing baby during the hottest days of summer) but 87% of the knit of each carrier is made from recycled polyester yarn and reuses 26 post-consumer recycled plastic bottles. So it’s safe to say the carriers are quite eco-friendly! Bake in the fact that they’re also shipped in recyclable, direct shipper packaging and no additional box or packaging and it’s enough to make your green heart sing.
The carrier also features a zippered pocket to keep essentials as secure as the little one you’ll be carrying. It currently comes in 5 color combinations with each collection produced in small, limited batches: light grey/grey/orange, sky blue/blue, multi-color/black, burgundy/dark teal/black and charcoal/black with most colors never to be produced again after they sell out.
The Ergobaby Aerloom retails for $219 and you can check out the collection and current color selection at Ergobaby.
The new lineup includes lots of travel-friendly gear including luggage, a backpack, sweatshirts and baseball hats––all with the iconic NatGeo logo and colors. The collection is ready for your next adventure. Keep scrolling to see some of our faves.

This season, we’re all considering a lot when we spend our valuable dollars. And the truth is, every single dollar you spend really does matter. As a small business entrepreneur, I can verify that even small orders MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE. In my work in sustainable fashion, I spend a lot of energy making sure that everything I offer is not only designed well from an aesthetic point of view, but also designed with environmental and human implications in mind. For every company and every product this looks a little different, so I take the time to forge the relationships with brands and designers to ensure that what I’m offering the world is a benefit on all fronts. With that in mind, I’ve assembled a holiday gift assortment that fits into the realities of 2020…hopefully helping us to all glean some positive vibes from the harsh realities of this year.

If Kristoff's hat was a twinning season staple.
$37
This beanie is not only stylish, but super practical. It's lined with organic cotton and the outer wool knit design is produced in Finland. A land that knows a lot about how to keep cozy in the elements.
Inspired by the French provincial bows in Beauty & The Beast, these handmade accessories are fashioned from a range of vintage & European made brocades. A special accessory in both child and adult size, they can also be worn Kamala style as a neck tie, headband...or your very own way!
Does it make any sense to buy a dedicated special occasion dress this year? We think a special dress that can also double as a play dress is the way to go.

These wool mittens are lines with organic cotton and the long cuff is multi-functional - it helps keep the mittens on, it keeps the forearms warm...mitigating space between the coat and mitten.
The most practical addition to your winter wardrobe. With an organic cotton inner layer and outer wool, my favorite way to wear this is as a headband. This comes in one size and is very stretchy, so can work seamlessly for child or adult. Male or Female! (A good gift for dads, my husband loves his!)

Bring Hygge Vibes to Your Home this Holiday Season
Are you familiar with the lifestyle of hygge? In short, hygge (pronounced hoo-guh) is a Danish word derived from the Norwegian word “hugga”, which very basically means… to comfort. The Danish word, hygge takes the concept of comfort to the NEXT LEVEL. The word hygge is used to describe spaces, such as a cozy living room, but it is also used to define an entire lifestyle… a Danish lifestyle that has really risen in popularity over the last several years. Any scroll on Pinterest or Instagram offers solid proof of that!
Dictionary.com defines the noun as “the feeling of coziness and contentment evoked by simple comforts as being wrapped in a blanket, having good conversation, enjoying food, etc.” My only question is, why did hygge take so long to go mainstream?!
Life can be difficult on a good day, with or without a pandemic or extreme politics. It is no wonder the philosophy of hygge has taken wings. We all long for comfort and warmth. Who isn’t longing for a simple, delicious existence these days… including but not limited to candles, soft blankets, warm beverages, and cozy socks?
We may not be able to control what happens outside our front doors, but we do have some control over the vibes with create in our home. In my opinion, the hygge vibe is where it’s at! Most mornings over the last few months, I light a favorite candle, make stovetop espresso, and steal as many quiet moments with my cozy blanket I can before the chaos/kids/email/Facebook scrolling begins. It’s my little effort in hygge, just for me.
Mamas, I know stealing time is HARD, but I highly recommend giving it a shot. You deserve a little hygge… even if in just a little corner of your heart and home. Just a few moments wrapped in cozy blanket is a solid way to baby step towards ushering in little hygge… and little comfort & joy into your home.

I have two of these. A baby size and a mama size. The Bialetti is a handy way to make your own espresso, and A LOT less expensive than a fancy espresso machine. I enjoy the routine of the making process as I start my day.

Just like the Christmas lights my husband once left on the roof until July, my kids are notorious for rocking their holiday-themed sleepwear well past societal norms. Who can blame them? Cozy is cozy. However, fact: Those jack-o-lanterns just aren’t as cute in January. For optimal mileage out of your kid’s holiday pjs this year without having to eye roll when you see a Santa-Claus-clad child rounding the corner in February, consider these 5 super cute holiday prints that are more evergreen… pun intended.

Cotton Nightgown in Evergreen Polka Dot
Does this come in my size?
$58
I love a classic dot. It's fun and youthful, but doesn't scream, I belong to a six-year-old!
I'm Brianne Manz, once a fashion showroom owner turned mom and blogger/writer. I live in Battery Park with my husband, our three children & our puppy Cooper.
As much as I love summer & summer dresses, fall is my favorite season in New York City. There’s nothing quite like the changing colors in Central Park. But fall in the north east can be a tricky time for fashion! We continue to have bright sunny days but overall cooler temps. I find myself constantly asking, should I bring a layer or not? I love a cozy knit but sometimes I get too hot. And I love a dress but they aren’t always warm enough. I also start to pull out all my jeans around this time of year after having put them away for summer. I have gathered some of my current favorites to help inspire us all during this gorgeous season!
