Belle's Weekly Reading: Volume XIX

Oct 22, 2010

The unbearably cute puppy above is Azzedine Alaia’s dog Dine Dine.  It’s enough to make you want to go out and buy a St. Bernard puppy, isn’t it?  Sadly, a 400 sq ft apartment in Downtown D.C. is not the place for a dog that grows to be the size of a small horse.  I guess CHS will remain a fashion blog without a mascot.

Olivia Palermo bikes to work in five inch heels with an Hermes Birkin bag in the basket?  Posed photo op?  If it wasn’t on Sartorialist, I would think that for sure.

Welcome American Vogue to the 21st Century.  The seminal fashion mag now has a Tumblr for you to lust over.

Belle’s Bethesda favorite Ginger Boutique has adorable new pieces for Fall.  Check them out on Ginger’s Facebook page.

Club Monaco fans were excited to learn that thanks to ShopBop the retailer now has an online presence.  Sadly, the first collection left me a bit cold.  Here’s hoping that future collections are more exciting.

If you’re still struggling to create Fall transition looks, Coquette has a beautiful suggestion combining two of Belle’s favorite things: a leather jacket and a floral dress.

I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.

When I started this blog, influencers still re-wore clothes. There were no haul videos filled with the latest from Shein before it winds up in a beach in Ghana poisoning the planet. There were no sponsored campaigns delivering fresh wardrobes each month. The content machine doesn’t like reruns.

The Find: Like a McCall’s Pattern

When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.

Ask the Editor: Vol. IV, No. Eighteen

Before we start today’s reader questions, I wanted to take a moment to talk a bit about mental health. For those who experience mental health challenges — whether occasionally or frequently — talking about our struggles is a double-edged sword.
