Belle's Weekly Reading: Volume IV

May 21, 2010

The Rainbow Connection. My birthday is coming up, and I can think of no better way to celebrate(?) the long, precipitous drop toward 30 than with a rainbow birthday cake.  Seriously, how awesome is this cake? 

Summer Lovin’.  I suppose, given my advancing age, I should jump back into the dating pool.  If only because it will make my Father stop asking me when I’m going to “find a man.”  This means that I need to start stocking my closet with dresses.  Thank goodness that Elle magazine has compiled a list of stylish dresses in a many shapes, styles and price points to keep every woman looking fabulous this summer.

In the Mood.  In junior high, I was obsessed with this fifty-cent mood ring that I won at the carnival.  I wore the bauble until it turned my finger green and had to be trashed.  If you too are a fan of this psychedelic trend, a nail polish company has produced a lacquer that changes color based on body temperature just like a mood ring.  And while it might be a better indicator of how your Boss feels about air conditioning (my office is pro-AC to the point of frigid), the color changing lacquer is certainly a cute idea.

Leaving on a Jet Plane.  I have been searching all spring for the perfect pair of aviators to wear this summer, but I still haven’t found the perfect pair.  But Makeda’s Glamazon Diaries piece about the hot new looks from Ray-Ban certainly have me considering a pair of classic gold frames. 

Think Market.  Planning to do a little flea market shopping this summer?  The Glamourai has a handy guide for what essentials you need to make your shopping day a success while you look like the most stylish shopper on Earth. 

Beautiful Girl.  Wit & Whimsy has an interview with Beauty BFF host Jenn Fallik about how she broke into the beauty biz and a list of her makeup essentials.  She’s super cute, and I love the hot pink lipstick!

The Beauty Edit: An Under-Eye Concealer That Actually Works

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

The Range: A Business Look from Boden

Every now and again, I spot a piece on sale and I have to have it. I need it. I cannot live without it. Recently, I spotted a jersey tee at Boden that takes a casual top to the next level, and I just needed to share.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
