Darling Mummy Minivan Tee
Darling Mummy’s minivan tee was inspired by a steady flow of phone calls from the designers’ gorgeous mommy friends lamenting the purchase of a minivan. Explained the designers: "We designed "too sexy" for these darling friends, as a subtle rebellion to what seems to be coming a parental rite of passage."
The designers themselves, however, don’t drive minivans. Sherri Aynn Collins zips around on her Vespa before meeting her girls at the bus stop while Alisa Christensen navigates Atlanta traffic in a German sports car (fitted with a car seat of course!).
$30 at Darling Mummy.

Onyx Miram Necklace
Looking through old photos with her mom, designer Taylor Conner was inspired to create the Miram necklace. "My mom used to tie ribbons in my hair when I was a kid, and I was inspired to bring some of the playfulness of childhood into my work."
Taylor believes that jewelry should be inherently versatile, and she recommends pairing the necklace with anything from a wear-to-work suit to a wifebeater and jeans.
Goofy fact about Taylor? She can’t walk on moving escalators. She gets freaked out and has been known to fall over!
$180 at Polished Lemons Luna Collection.

Brenna Copper Necklace
The classic shapes in nature juxtaposed against the romantic colors of Autumn inspired designer Courtney Galler to create the Brenna necklace.
The versatile piece can be paired with anything from a casual chic white button down and jeans to a powerful suit for the office. Courtney adds, "For a very of-the-moment look, pair Brenna with layers of beaded necklaces or chains in various lengths to make your own signature look."
Fun fact about Courtney? She has a very vivid imagination…and she has a strong fear of Spontaneous Human Combustion. Seriously.
