My five fav baby products…
I am kicking off the “motherhood” section of MKIA with my 5 favorite baby products. After nearly 11 weeks of twin baby bliss, I now know I could not live without these: 1. Wimmer Ferguson Infant Stim-Mobile: This is my son’s first bff. Seriously. He smiles at this mobile with …

Holy delicious (and healthy) halibut recipe.
I had to share this recipe because I’ve now made it twice in the last three weeks – Gwyneth Paltrow’s Grilled Halibut with Mango-Avocado Salsa is super delicious. Now that we live in a warm climate, we are burning up our grill! I use it at least three to four times …

Obsession of the season: Capes
There is something so left-bank cool about the cape. This season it’s the one “trend” I am really jonesing to acquire. I’ve always appreciated the elegance of the silhouette and the softness it imbues in the wearer. But until now finding them was quite difficult. While I dreamed of scoring …

Trammel Cardigan from Anthro
I just picked up this light weight cardigan at Anthropologie. The drapey, scarf neck detail has some shimmer and is really beautiful (the photo does not do it justice). It kind of reminded me of what Serena wore on last night’s Gossip Girl. I plan to pair this with jeans …

Music I found watching TV
Who says you can’t learn anything from Gossip Girl? Not me. I find something worthwhile in every episode and normally it’s along the lines of how to layer a knit vest over a sweater and sequin skirt. Serena’s stylist shut it down once again last night. Anyway, this week GG …

My name is Melina Starr and MKIA is my version of the perfect online magazine. I created it for women like me who are interested in fashion, home décor, music, cooking, beauty, health and fitness and want thoughtful, researched advice on what’s worth buying and trying. Oh, and we want it to be one-click away too. That’s why everything on MKIA can be read, downloaded, purchased, or obtained in some other magical way online.
