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.

I got a great trench at the Banana Republic outlet right after Christmas for $70. 🙂 I had no idea what my wardrobe was missing! I wear it all the time now.
Thanks a lot Belle. I just impulse bought the Vince Camuto coat while at work facepalm. Ideally, I would love to own a Burberry, esp. the coat Kate Middleton wore on her tour of Ireland ( https://www.glamour.com/fashion/blogs/slaves-to-fashion/2011/03/08/0308kate-middleton-burberry-trench_fa.jpg ) but alas, it sold out within days (as everything worn by KM does).
I am constantly amazed by the fact that I almost always want the Elected Official and the Unpaid Intern options but the Hill Staffer option leaves me feeling “Meh.” *laughs at self. The trench is a great choice to post to celebrate almost-spring! What are your thoughts on the “short trench”? Too trendy? Can you wear one if you're over 40? Thanks 🙂
My comment didn't take. Oops. Thanks for this – I am in the hunt for a classic Burberry. What is the classic-classic Burberry, in your opinion? Must it be khaki?
