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. 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 […]

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.
