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 […]

Belle, I was wondering when these were going to arrive on the blog! However, as much as I've seen them worn well, I've also seen some minor disasters walking to the DC streets in these. Perhaps a what to do and what NOT to do is in order?
I just bought a pair! Love them! I agree with Danae, some tips on wearing them well would be much appreciated.
Just an interesting piece of trivia, this type of two toned boot is traditionally a man's boot. It designates a man entitled to wear the colors of his hunt. A lady awarded colors wears black boot with black patent tops. No that it matters for fashion but my family rides and both my father and husband always point this out when they see this type of boot on women so I always wear solid boots. It made me smile when I saw these today. Have a great week!
A question for all readers – can you speak to the quality of Banana Republic shoes? I typically don't buy shoes from stores that are primarily clothing stores because I worry the quality will be sub-par.
@E, I have no idea how BR shoes are (any shoes that aren't leather always make me a little nervous). If you're looking for a similar boot in a similar price range as the pair Belle posted from BR but in a little better quality, take a look at these from DSW

I snapped up the Ariat boots from Endless for only $153 today!
