10th Commandment: June 9

Jun 9, 2010

When I’m on a long plane flight, my time-wasting activity of choice is watching all the rom-com, chick-flicky movies that I have too much dignity to order from Netflix.  Last week, the movie of choice was “When In Rome.”  The movie was fun, Kristen Bell is adorable and the costume department put together some lovely outfits.  One of my favorites had a gray-striped blazer with white piping thus, I present my current obsession: striped blazers.

Elected Offiicial

Nanette Lepore Rogue Jacket (Piperlime, $400) 

Hill Staffer

Rouched Sleeve Fiance Jacket (Searle, $188)

Unpaid Intern

Striped Jacket (Banana Republic, $89)*

Please notice that while the model is wearing stripes together, she’s wearing stripes of different widths.  This makes it okay.  Not my favorite look, but okay.

    First thing by Nanette Lepore I’ve ever been in love with. And I adore that jacket.

Happy Hour: Atlantic Beach Pie

There are two kinds of people in this world: People who eat cake on their birthdays and people who don’t.  And some of the weirdos in the latter category (I said what I said) eat pie as an alternative.  So if you’re a “birthday pie” eater with a late summer celebration coming up, may I […]

The Find: The Only Wire-Free Bra That Didn’t Fail Me

After Sloane was born, I developed a seething hatred for underwire bras.  The trouble was that I had also developed a larger, slightly droopier bust.  It was a cruel irony.

The 2010s Trends I’m Loving and Leaving Behind

Our tween and teen nieces spent the first half of 2023 reviving our high school fashions.  From peasant tops to low rises, I felt like I was back bopping to N’SYNC in my mint-green sedan for a minute.  Now, our 20-something direct reports are bringing back the 2010s in a big way, and I am […]
