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 have a pair of Anne Klein flats and I would NOT recommend them at all. Albeit their comfort, they are the poorest quality shoe I’ve ever spent fifty dollars on. Today is the fourth time I’ve worn them and the stitching is come un done. As well the top layer of the cloth “smudged” when I stubbed my toe. There’s very little structure actually in the toe so when you’re standing up and shifting weight around your foot aka walking your toes can be seen through the shoe! It’s very strange looking. Finally, it can’t be seen in the picture above but the back of the heel has this weird rubber tread. I’m not sure what it’s used for and it’s about as thick as the sole.
Kelse, I have a pair of Anne Klein flats that I love! Anything distinctive about yours? Mine are iFlex (so they’re really bendy) but the leather on top is substantial, so I can’t see my toes moving around in them. I’m sure it’s a style difference, but I want to make sure these are like mine, not yours.
Ooo, Belle. I wish you could see my shoes today! Light pink ballet flats with patent leather toe and back. I’m wearing it with a black shift. My husband even commented before I left, “Wow, you look cute.” Aw, yeah. That’s the beginning of a good day. I got the shoes from the clearance rack at Pentagon City DSW over the weekend. They’re some random off-brand; were like $25. They’ll get destroyed by fall, I’m sure. But, cute for now!
FYI readers: The AK flats can be found at Shoe Woo at Union Station. Try them on and decide if you like them or not.
I’m glad you highlighted Bloch ballet flats! I love Bloch – I have had several pairs and they always end up being my go-to shoes. Plus you can get some pretty unique and eye catching designs.
