The day you find out you're pregnant is also the day you discover all the things in life you can't have. Sushi, Tequila, Coffee, Jacuzzi, Sauna, Botox, Lazer Hair Removal, and of course, many of our trusty little skin products that have become our closest confidants. By striping our lives of our favorite things, it was clearly time to introduce new pleasures to bring us back to our happy place. After some experimenting (online and at home :) we've uncovered a few 100% natural, homemade face masks that'll have you feeling like your old self in no time. Bonus: They taste damn good too!

Baby Driving Loafers?! Need...I...Say...More!? Ok, just a couple things. With Milan Fashion Week right around the corner, it seems only fitting to feature an Italian brand that blows our minds here at Haute Moms Club. Become familiar with Dolly by Le Petit Tom http://www.lepetittom.nl The clothing is ridiculously adorbs, (see Kourtney's Kutie, Penelope, rocking their pearled cardigan) but it's the shoes, the baby driving loafers in particular, that have our tongues seriously wagging. Take a gander...and remember, this may be a splurge but what better way to do so!? All the loafers are around $70. Enjoy
