Belle's B-Day Wish List: Part IV

May 28, 2010

Yesterday, we covered dresses that I would want to wear to work.  Today, we’ll be looking at some dresses that are perfect for play.  Oh, and sequins.  We know how I feel about sequins…

FCUK Sequin Dress (Asos, $271)

Pale gold sequins, 3/4 sleeves, mini dress.  Yes, please.

Lela Rose Threaded Sheath (ShopBop, $1,595)

This pretty appliqued dress is perfect for a dinner out with friends.  I’d add a rustic men’s belt and a flat sandal for casual events.  If you want to dress it up, I would add a cuff bracelet and a metallic gladiator platform.

Jenni Kayne Fan Dress (ShopBop, $595)

It is my sincerest hope that Rent the Runway will start carrying Jenni Kayne.  Her styles are modern without being too bold.  Plus, I love yellow.

Milly Printed Chiffon Maxi (Net-a-Porter, $545)

Need something extra special for a casual summer wedding?  A wedding at a vineyard perhaps?  Yes, I think I might be wearing this to Miss M’s wedding.

Tiered Poplin Dress (BCBG, $238 + 30%off)

This is the kind of dress that I would buy to throw on for those unexpected dinners and drink dates.  Not with those shoes though. Yikes.

Antik Batik Walice Gown (Net-a-Porter, $970)

Gorgeous.  Different.  And probably weighs 20 pounds.

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.

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 […]
