Well, life was beautiful in blog redesign land, for a minute, anyway. Â But not everything is running smoothly.

There are two kinds of people in this world: People who eat cake on their birthdays and people who don’t. Â And some of the weirdos in the latter category (I said what I said) eat pie as an alternative. Â 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. Â The trouble was that I had also developed a larger, slightly droopier bust. Â It was a cruel irony.

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

Finally, a shoe that will be comfortable commuting but still not result in my pant hems dragging on the ground! Thank you Belle!!!!
This isn’t the worst idea I’ve ever heard…
April Fools?
Omg, tres chic. Buying thirty pairs. Do you think I could find a coordinating Vera?
Happy April Fools Belle 🙂
You almost tricked me for a minute and then I remembered… April Fools. Nice one.
What I REALLY want are UGGS with high heels… is that too much to ask?
Oh, Belle! You almost had me. I wonder if Uggs makes a version of these lovely shoes 😉
THANK goodness this was a joke 🙂
Wow! $640.00 to look like Luke Skywalker. Happy April Fools Day.
Oh thank God – I forgot about April Fools Day and was wondering if you were high! Very nice Belle…
I totally was fooled! I was so shocked at this post but once I checked the comments I was relieved….good one!
groan
Slow clap. Well played.
I know some people who actually consider these “athletic” shoes, including online “fashion” games, etc. Waiting for a rise in broken and sprained ankles in 5.4.3.2……
Oh my gosh… before I read the other comments I was going to say “I just CANNOT get onboard with this trend” Happy April Fools indeed!
You know, I’ve seen so many other fashion bloggers wear these that it took me a few minutes to figure you that these aren’t really your style, Belle…!
*figure out. Although I still can’t figure out why someone would spent $670 on the Isabel Marants rather than get a really classy Choo or Louboutin on sale for that price!
Every few years, people try to make these high heeled sneakers a thing. Why?
Thanks god it’s April 1st….would’ve been concerned about you, belle!
That Corporette and Boardroom Belles both posted these are must haves makes this joke even sweeter.
@Rory: They miss the Spice Girls?
@%$#!#!! stupid typo !@^&@#^$!!!1!

I’m kind of torn on them, even though they’re not my style, because I’ve seen a few bloggers really pull off the look. But it’s just not for me, I’d feel silly wearing them.
I wish I could have seen my own under-caffeinated expression when I opened CHS this morning. I was 100% puzzled and just wondering if it was an off day. Thanks SO much.
On the one hand, they are ugly. On the other hand, a coworker has a pair that are HOT pink and made by Ash. I hate to admit it but they didn’t look too bad. The ones you posted here, though, are fugly.
Ha! Happy April Fools Day, Belle. I was getting ready to reply to this post with a solid WTF, when I realized what day it was…
Oh, Belle! I audibly gasped when I saw this. This made my morning.
