There are two kinds of people in this world: People who eat cake on their birthdays and people who don’t. And some of the weirdos in the latter category (I said what I said) eat pie as an alternative. So if you’re a “birthday pie” eater with a late summer celebration coming up, may I […]

After Sloane was born, I developed a seething hatred for underwire bras. The trouble was that I had also developed a larger, slightly droopier bust. It was a cruel irony.

Our tween and teen nieces spent the first half of 2023 reviving our high school fashions. From peasant tops to low rises, I felt like I was back bopping to N’SYNC in my mint-green sedan for a minute. Now, our 20-something direct reports are bringing back the 2010s in a big way, and I am […]

For the past few years, the wardrobes of many influencers have tilted toward the beige and boring. I’m all for a good basic, but staple pieces can only take you so far. Sometimes, you need to wear something that has a little something extra, and this sale-priced tee certainly does.

Those are so cute! I agree – i go with metallic for any evening events and it lets me get away with only having one real pair of evening shoes. Just wanted to give a quick thanks to Belle for the recommendation on the Commando tights – after some hunting (Nordstrom at Pentagon City was sold out – i”m assuming the Belle effect??) I got a pair and have to say they are great! So comfortable and the no waistband thing is great – can't believe no one thought of it sooner!
I've been experiencing the “Belle Effect” on several posted items. And I guess that is a good thing, that means things in DC are on the up-trend. Great shoes for a great price Belle.
Guess I'd better run out and get these now to avoid “Belle Effect.” Love this suggestion!!
I managed to find the Commando tights on amazon.. haven't been blown away by them though. They don't pinch at all, but then they tend to sag which is annoying.
Sagging? That's a new one.
Yeah, I'm wondering if I'm between sizes.. these just don't stay up.
I don't know whether to bless you or curse you . . . I just purchased these!
AND, I found a $20 coupon. yay!
Yay metallic shoes! Similarly, I love these Steve Madden Glitter pumps.
