The Chic Mom Find: Jimmy Crystal Earings

I loved Jennifer Garner's look at the recent premiere of, Catch and Release. She was sporting a pair of Cartier earings estimated at a value of $60,000.

Life and Style was able to find a replica pair that the rest of us can afford at Jimmy Crystal for a mere $36. This specific pair was part of their 2006 line.

Lands End: Bathing Suits for Bodies that Have Had Babies

I had the unfortunate experience of breaking my ankle over the holidays. When I went to the doctor to have it checked out last week, he informed me that the cast will probably come off next week. Our discussion turned to what I will be able to do and what I should avoid for the time being.

My biggest concern was being able to work out. I had started a workout regime last October and am very eager to get back on it. Well, apparently I can't at least not yet. I have to slowly work my stregnth back up before I get to do any running or anything involving any impact. But I can swim all I want according to the doc.

Shudders went down my back. I haven't gone swimming since I had the twins. We've taken them to the pool, but it involves a sprint from where I remove my coverup to the water and vice versa.

I've been saying since we started the workout regime that I need to get a new swimsuit so I can swim. Now that it appears that swimming will need to be my form of exercise at least for a few weeks, I could put it off no more.

So my husband calls me up yesterday and asks if I want to go shopping and we can pick up that swimming suit. Oh yeah, that's what I need my husband impatiently waiting while I try on suit after suit that I hate. But I relunctedly agreed and off we went.

Our first stop ended up being the last. We found the perfect suit at Lands End (in my case one of their outlets) and I am delighted.

Typically, the suits either cover way too little or way too much. I tried on a dozen and most worked fine but one of their slenderizers is the perfect suit. It sucks in all that you need contained without being unconfortable and doesn't look like a grandma suit. It even got my husband's seal of approval.

I still have to wait a week before I can try it out in water, but if you are starting your search for a summer bathing suit definitely check out the ones at Lands End today! (Note - their outlets are having a great sale with 40% off the already reduced prices!!)

Blue Eye Boy: Jewelry with Boys in Mind

Moms of little boys sometimes get the short end of the stick when it comes to kids accessories. Little girls come with frilly socks, playful jewelry, and all kinds of ribbons and bows. Little boys come with baseball caps. Unless of course you count dirt which happens to be my boys number one fashion accessory.

I was delighted to find Blue Eye Boy and their collection of jewelry designed for little boys. The collection is designed with today's boys in mind and feature a variety of "boy" themes like camo, bones, and baseballs.

I was concerned that the necklace would be too fragile for everyday wear, but the moment I opened the box my fears were alleviate. Each necklace is constructed with durable polymer clay beads and coordinating spacers. They close with a secure screw clasp. Blue Eye Boy has found a way to take childrens jewelry and infuse them with the spirit of boyhood.

To put it in my seven-year-old's words as he saw it for the first time, "That is so cool!!!!!"

If you are looking for a great gift for the little guys in your life definitely check out Blue Eye Boy today. It may earn you the title of cool mom at least for a little while!

Welcome to The Chic Mom!

The Chic Mom is a spin-off blog from Celebrity Moms and The Stylish Child.

Now that my last child has decided to potty train himself, I found I can once again carry a stylish purse rather than a mommy bag. This sent me on a mad hunt over the holidays in search of a great purse. Which I found at Target!

That combined with the many companies that have contacted me about writing up their non-baby related products made me decide to create a central place to put all the really cool stuff I find for all the chic moms out there.
