Silk Crepe Ruffle Coat (3.1 Phillip Lim, $1,950)
The first time that I saw this coat, I thought it was incredible. The second time, I wondered how it would fit. And the third time, I began to wonder if it would swallow me like a furry Halloween costume.
What do you ladies think?
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.
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 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 […]
I think it would be drastically improved if it weren’t such a ho-hum color.
The only kind of person I can possible think would look good in this is someone very frail and petite. Like an Olson twin or something.
Coats with a bit of volume are rarely bad.
Horrible.
maybe with a cute, sparkly belt?
An Olson twin type with either really pale or dark skin could pull it off, I think. That color is hard to pull off for those of us with a skin tone that’s too similar.
Maybe if you are very tall….with cute skinny jeans and super high heels – the belted comment sounds good too
My first thought was actually “sad elephant.” Sorry.
I am madly in love with this coat, and briefly considered becoming homeless for a month to afford it. Personally, I think it would overwhelm someone with a tiny frame, there’s too much fabric on it.
I think it’s super cute, with a chunky brown leather or sparkly belt. That being said, I can think of like 2 people who can afford this. I’m excited to see if someone could reproduce a more affordable option comparable to this.
Mummy costume.
