Fashion, Product Spotlight:

Don’t Be a Bully

Instead, help support the finding of “forever” (permanent) homes for Chicago pit bulls by purchasing one of Jus Animalium Culture Apparel’s American Pit Bull Pink Ribbon tees for $30, and JACA will donate $5 from every tee sold to Midwest Rescue of Illinois, Inc.

Mobile-friendly mitts are on every working-girl’s list… keep palms toasty and still pushing emails at the same time? Yes please!

Mommy Knows Dressed

Jump aside, Gymboree. There’s a new sheriff in the toddler tailoring town, and she goes by the name of Studio Luvette.
