Mommy's little helper.
Summer's only a week old, and I've already been through one box of Band-Aids for my kids.

My tire got stuck in the track of the light-rail train, and I somersaulted through the air with my bike. "This is gonna hurt," I thought right before eating pavement.

I'm all about unicorns these days, so I think I'd actually injure myself in order to put on one of these Enchanted Unicorn Bandages. OK, maybe I'll just decorate myself with them like I did as a kid. (I had a thing for bandages.) Read more
It's painful to watch your babe bump and bruise their precious skin, but it's usually tougher hearing the whaling and crying that goes along with it. Help bring a smile back to your babe's face and dry up those tears with some funked out bandages ($5). If your lil ones are wranglers, cover them in western band-aids. If they're into swashbuckling, stick some skulls and bones on their wounds. And Read more
Hervé Léger reinvents the bandage dress each season, and for Fall, Lubov Azria looked to equestrians for inspiration.

Every season, designer Max Azria has found a way to reinvent the classic bandage dress that catapulted the Hervé Léger line to fame. For Fall 2012, the silhouette was given an equestrian spin, wrapped in leather body harnesses and wide belts paired with knee-high leather gladiator boots. Check out the python prints and gold accessories that were also seen on the runway right here. Read more
Taking us beyond the label's bandage dress, Max Azria delivered his signature sexy with rich equestrian details and a new sense of strength for Fall. For every curve-conscious silhouette, the strapped bodices and gladiator-inspired footwear counter with militant, almost dominatrix-feeling toughness. If it takes a confident woman to pull off Léger's more typical body-con wear, for this season's Read more
