Johnson's Shortcuts to Standout Mom Style

dress up

"Spring is all about dresses," she says. "The trend is great for a mom, because it means one-step dressing." Still, frothy and frilly aren't her speed; she goes for pretty but pared-down frocks that hit just above the knee.

mix style + function

Instead of toting around a traditional diaper bag, Johnson throws everything she needs into her oversize Yves St. Laurent carryall. "I can fit a few files and a couple of diapers into it," she says. "I feel organized and still look like myself."

Laura Mercier cosmetics
get glowing

Beauty-wise, Johnson has long been low-maintenance, but she has streamlined her routine even more since becoming a mom. She swears by Laura Mercier products to keep her tired skin looking dewy and fresh.
