10th Commandment: December 21

Dec 21, 2012

I think tortoise shell pumps are a great alternative to chocolate brown leather pumps.  They pair well with brown, with black, with bright colors, and they can stand in for nude pumps in the spring when you’re not quite ready for nude shoes.  I also think they have a rich, classic look.

Elected Official

Stuart Weitzman Platswoon Pumps ($325)

Hill Staffer

Corso Como Del Pump ($129)

Paid Intern

Mootsies Tootsies Tortoise Patent Pump ($35)

And if pumps are not your thing, try a pair of flats. You can snatch up a pair of Jimmy Choo’s on sale, a pair for under-$100 or a $59 pair with tortoise toe caps.

    Just bought a pair of patent leather tortoise shell pumps from Franco Sarto. They are on sale at Piperlime for $79. On first wear, they are pretty comfortable. It's a stacked heel with a small platform in the toe, but nothing too outrageous for the office. Very pleased with them!

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 […]
