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’m not sure how I feel about this trend– it looks like women are wearing smocks over leather jackets.
Wow!!!! That first coat. Love the contrast coat. What a find.
I’m all for trying new fashions, but as a young poorly paid staffer in DC, I’m upset that you put this – this doesn’t seem like a wardrobe essential. Most of your pieces are versatile and classic. I’m disappointed.

Man does not live by bread alone. When you get the essentials and the basics, it’s fun to add something different. I love the coat in the middle, I think it’s different and modern.
Thank you for your non-snarky response, Belle. I guess I will just continue dreaming until the day I can buy non-essential pieces!
