Leopard Tee

Can we talk about this price tag for a second? I love long sleeve tees in fall—they’re an essential layering piece that’s never not a good idea to have around in bulk. But sometimes I get sick of my basic black and white tees and want something a little more exciting. These leopard tees have crazy high ratings, and crazy low price tags. Honestly they’re a sneeze above being free, it’s ridiculous. Also, there are endless cuts to choose from, and “there are too many great options” is a complaint that no woman has had ever.

Power Strip

I initially just ordered this ingenious travel power strip for use near my bedside table, but it’s so minimalist and functional that I’m getting one for every room in the house. It’s meant for travel (I never leave home with out it), but it’s so genius for home, too—especially in small places where space is an issue.

Sarah Flint Booties

Fall is the season of the good bootie, and if your collection is currently lacking, know that Sarah Flint makes a literally perfect one in two colorways and two heel height options. They are INEXPLICABLY comfortable from the second you slide your foot in and while yes, they look stunning online, you need to know that they are even more beautiful in person. Seriously, they’re the Halle Berry of boots. You can’t imagine how they’d be more amazing in person but somehow, yep, they are. You’ve heard me wax on about this brand a million times in the past (their…

Chic Baseball Caps

You know what’s fun? Not doing your hair. I hope we can all agree that Baseball caps are a Saturday (or Sunday or Monday or Tuesday) morning’s best friend. However, I was receiving a lot of flack from family members who took note that I was consistently wearing a New York Yankees hat and wondered when I’d changed baseball allegiances. Battle lines were drawn and things got ugly before I even had the chance to clarify that it wasn’t so much about the team, but about the fact that I had received a free Yankees hat years ago that just…

Net-A-Porter’s 15% Off Sale

It’s happening! Net-A-Porter is currently holding a massive 15% off seasonal edit sale. I highly encourage you to shop literally the entire thing (what else do you have to do today, work?). But if you do need to cut to the chase, might I suggest my absolute favorite tights, shapewear, candles, and longwear lipstick? And while I know we’re not exactly ready to go full-coat mindset just yet, it would really be a shame to miss out on 15% off this snuggly option.

Momaroo 4 Baby Swing

Colette INSISTED that I add this 4Moms Momaroo 4 to the Monday Memo, and given my level of sleep deprivation, I’m just not in a position to argue. She simply adores this baby swing from the future, and her father and I might just be dead without it. This isn’t any old back and forth nonsense. There are five different settings on the Momaroo 4 that lull tiny ones into trance-like tranquility. The motions gently bounce and sway your baby similarly to how you would when you hold or rock them. It also has five different sound settings providing a…

Miracle Milkookies

Attention all breastfeeding mamas: Get ready for some cookies and some science. Miracle Milkookies are handmade, delivered-to-your-door lactation cookies that help boost your milk supply. That’s right friends: Eat more cookies, make more milk. These (scrumptious) cookies contain oats, yeast, and flaxseed, a dream team of ingredients when it comes to milk production. I’ve tested several different kinds of lactation cookies and supplements, and these are at the top of my list—both in terms of how amazing they taste and (of course) how well they WORK. There was a notable increase in my supply after eating them and a noticeable…

PackIt Freezable Cooler

It’s so nice when a product not only does what it’s supposed to do, but does it really, really well. With freezable gel packs actually built into it, this baby bottle and breastmilk cooler is brilliant for breastfeeding moms and also anyone who ever needs to keep things cool for an extended period of time. If you commute via subway with your lunch, this is perfect. (I have the polka dot option, FYI.)

The Downton Abbey Movie

As you may have seen on Instagram, Rich and I had plans to attend the Downton Abbey film premiere in New York last week, but travel delays (and by delays I mean nightmares) prevented us from being there. I gave the tickets to girlfriends, cried a little, and now we’re okay. As soon as we can secure a babysitter we are so going to see Lady Mary and company on the silver screen.

Pill Remover

Guys, we’ve discussed this. You do not need to throw out your pilled sweaters from seasons past. You can simply use this $8 magical gadget and give them new life! If you’d like to save hundreds (potentially thousands) of dollars in sartorial spending, take proper care of your sweaters by always following their care instructions, and removing pills when they’re looking sad. You’ll get so much more longevity out of your clothes and you’ll never feel the sting of tossing out your faves.
