Starbucks New Yummy Cupcakes

I hate cake. I really do. This is a big dilemma for the boys around my birthday time. We finally came to the agreement that they can either buy an ice cream version or make me cupcakes. So I was very pleasantly surprised that I really liked the new cupcakes available at Starbucks.

I typically prefer chocolate anything, but in this case it's the vanilla that I have fallen for. The frosting in great, the cake is well... cake but with the frosting I don't hate it. Until it gets warm enough for the frozen drinks that are my vice during the summer, their cupcakes will be my weekly starbucks treat.

Gap's Boyfriend Trousers: Everyday Comfort

At the top of my must have list for Spring are the new "boyfriend trousers" by GAP. I picked up a pair while out on my weekly shopping trip last week and I'm in love!!

These comfy trousers are the perfect option for those days when you just don't want to wear jeans, but it's just not the day to dress up. Their wide legged style flatters those of us with curves and the button tab waste and zip fly make them the ultimate in comfort.

Michael Stars: Comfy Tees for Perfect Layering

Tee shirts are the primarily staple of my work at home mom wardrobe. Perfect by themselves for summer, layered for the cooler months. Dressed up with a skirt or dressed down with jeans layered tess are my daily mom unifom.

One of the favorite brands of comfy tees for today's celebrity moms are the comfy tees by Michael Stars. Available in both maternity and non-maternity styles these tees have been seen on the likes of Jennifer Garner, Courteney Cox-Arquette, Jennifer Lopez, and Jessica Biel.

Designed for comfort with the perfect fit that gets better with each washing. My favorite is the 3/4 Sleeve Tunic Thermal. Worn layered under a short sleeve tee make this the ideal tee for the early spring when it's too warm for a jacket, but too chilly for short sleeves.

7forallmankind: Wide Legged Jean Perfection

It seems like all we've seen in Hollywood in jeans for the last couple of years is the famous "skinny jean". They seem to be the staple of my everyday modern mom wardrobe. Stylish -- yes, comfortable -- not really.

Now it appears that some Celebrity Moms have decided to push the skinny jeans to the back of their closet and opt for a wider leg style. Liv Tyler was most recently seen out leaving a meeting last week sporting a pair of Seven for All Mankind "Ginger" jeans.

The "Ginger" style is a wide legged trouser style that sits on the hips and skims the thigh before loosening to create an ultra wide leg opening. Each pair is perfectly proportioned to fit a woman's curves. Available at "Seven For All Mankind" at $143.

Skinvitals: Cloth Facial Masks for At Home Spa Treatments


This time of year is terrible on the skin - especially for those of us that live in cold weather states. This weekend the artic temperatures are heading for Minnesota and we're getting ready to lock ourselves in with a pile of movies and time on our hands.

While I was stocking up at Target today, I spotted one of my favorite skincare products that until now I could only order online. I can't say enough about the Skinvitals masks! My personal favorite is the Lavender + Green Tea "L-Smooth" mask.

The Skinvitals masks are perfect for the mom on the go who doesn't always have the time that a trip to spa for a facial requires. All you need is 15 minutes to relax with a soft cloth mask that easily slips onto your face and your skin will feel refreshed for weeks.

Now available at Target for the reasonable price of $3.95 / mask or $9.95 for a pack of four.

I'm definitely going to take 15 minutes out for myself this weekend and get my winter dried skin back in soft, hydrated condition!

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!!)

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.

If you have a product that you want to have featured please drop me a note at emma@celebrity-moms.com
