    I love this look! What a great way to make the work wardrobe staple a little more feminine. I wish the pencil skirt and I were better friends.

  2. KC says:

    IN LOVE with these. Especially the Cyan/Black little number in the middle. Nice job Belle!

  3. Ali says:

    I love when i I love the cheapest one the best! Thanks for introducing me to ASOS, Belle – I never would've known about it without this website! I have a thread-jacky question that I was hoping you or one of your wonderful readers may be able to answer. I scored a pair of missoni target tights, and they are a really cool navy-whiteish pattern. I have NOOOO idea what to wear them with. Navy scares the life out of me . I should've brought this up when we discussed tight-rules last week but I didn't think these tights would give me such an issue until my battle was lost this morning and i went with a boring old standby outfit.

    I feel like a real old lady confessing this but a Talbots catalogue came in the mail to my house yesterday and I actually liked lots of what was in it. Elegant and classic. HORRORS.

  5. anna says:

    quick question: for the white option, what would you style this with for fall/winter….thanks and love your blog

  6. Belle says:

    a camel cashmere sweater.

  7. anna says:

    thanks for the suggestion….love it…a post i'd love is ways to style a t-neck sweater….my winter uniform and i'm desperately in need of new ideas for how to rock it….

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.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

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 Mondays: July 22, 2024

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 […]
