1. Deborah Lippman Polishes in Flashdance, Modern Love and Dark Fantasy ($16) // 2. Phillip Lim Satin-Twill Peplum Top ($550) // 3. Zara Studded Ankle Strap Sandal ($90) and Jeffrey Campbell Martini Spike Loafers ($157) // 4. Jimmy Choo Metallic iPad Sleeve ($495) and Lodis Snake Embossed iPad Case ($98) // 5. Rag and Bone Silver Tuxedo ($270) // 6. Kate Spade Elephant Bank ($50) and Giraffe Figurine ($55)

Polyvore Set Here.

One. I’m not sure when I became so obsessed with nail polish, but my medicine cabinet is beginning to look like a salon display case.  And if companies like Deborah Lippman keep making such amazing colors, it’s only going to get worse.  Out of the three, I love the middle one, a subtle mauve, the best.  If you like the shade but the price is too high, Sally Hansen has a similar shade for under-$5.

Two. I loved this top last year, and I love it even more this season.  I tried on last year’s version at the Gilt City Warehouse Sale, and it was sublime…and sadly, too big.  Luckily, I can comfort myself with this Madewell blouse while I wait for the Lim top to go on sale.  Fingers crossed.

Three.  Studded shoes add a little something extra to even the most basic outfit.  The Zara pair are the perfect choice to wear with cocktail or going out attire.  And the Martini studded flats will jazz up any casual outfit.  Want them in black?  They have those too.

Four. I love my Dodo Case ($29), but I’m looking for a more stylish case.  I like the idea of a gold case, but not at the price of Jimmy Choo.  (Maybe this Banana Republic would be better?)  This teal Lodis case is also gorgeous, but not quite as versatile.  

Five.  This blush and black jacket is ah-may-zing.  And at 50-percent-off, even better.  Wear it with black separates, denim or wear it over a black sequined cocktail dress.  So gorgeous.

Six.  I’ve been doing some redecorating around my apartment, and I’d like to add some decorative items to my bookshelves.  This cute elephant bank and whimsical giraffe would look great in my apartment.

    I've been super obsessed with nail polish lately too! It was getting a bit out of control, bottles everywhere, until I saw an idea on pinterest (of course). I went to Michaels and bought a big glass hurricane jar- $25, and I had a 50% off coupon! So, now they sit in the jar, looking all colorful and pretty, on my dresser. It's perfect!

Happy Hour: Atlantic Beach Pie

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 […]

The Find: The Only Wire-Free Bra That Didn’t Fail Me

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.

The 2010s Trends I’m Loving and Leaving Behind

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 […]

The Find: Bright and Striped

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.
