When I was in my 20s, I bought every trendy nail polish, eye color, and lip gloss. Sure, I could only wear them on the weekends, but why not wear emerald green liner? In my 30s, I became enamored with skincare and took every “must-have” product for a spin. But in my 40s, my skin […]

Another month has come and gone, and between a busy work schedule, illness and the search for new childcare, I almost forgot to ask for questions for the AMA. Luckily, I remembered late last night. So here we go. I always think it’s funny when people send rude or overly personal questions when I put […]

I love stocking stuffers. They are the best part of Christmas. There’s just nothing quite like an affordable gift that’s funny or useful or chic (or maybe all three). So here is Part One of my stocking stuffer gift guides, where nothing costs more than $30.

Belle, could you issue a PSA to women to check their skirt's slit? I am so sick of seeing people's underwear!!
Can I also add to L's comment and say, if you are wearing a sweater and it doesn't cover your bottom, throwing on tights does not make it any more appropriate. (I'm looking at you, woman, whom I had to follow up the metro stairs and got quite an eyeful last night). Put on some clothes, please.
Thanks for bringing this up — women who walk up the escalator need to be especiaily careful in short skirts – I have seen way too much!!
I wrote a PSA about both these issues a few weeks ago, what can I say, people need to cover their nether regions better than they do.
As a side note about the skirt PSAs, women in a-line skirts needs to be especially careful on escalators, regardless of the skirt length. A few weeks ago, the cops caught a creep taking pictures up my knee length skirt on the metro escalators.
that is a geat skirt.
Re: skirts on escalators. I was behind a young woman (23-25ish?) wearing a really cute flippy skirt the other day. As soon as she got on the escalator it kept flipping ALL the way up in the back. She was wearing a thong. You could see her whole booty. I felt so bad for her. It really seemed like she had no idea. I contemplated running up the stairs and taking her aside, but I'm 6 months pregnant and just can't move that fast right now. I was flabbergasted.
I saw this skirt, shrieked in delight, and immediately bought it. Recently discovered your blog, and am addicted. I don't have nearly as much time to shop as I would like, and really, I just need someone to tell me what the hell to wear, and where to get it. You have great suggestions for both professional and casual wear.
