Happy Hour: Sparkles Everywhere

Tasha Crystal Pond Clutch ($278)

I spotted this clutch on the blog Coco + Kelley, written by fellow Gonzaga Alum and style maven, Cass Lavalle.  It’s so shiny and chic.  I would carry it to cocktail parties, weddings and formal events and then, display it on my dresser the rest of the time.

Looking for a less expensive way to sparkle?  Tasha also makes a sparkly gold clutch for $78.  This foldover clutch with raffia and silver has a great mix of textures.  And this McQueen-reminiscent clutch from LuLu Townsend is just $39.

But my absolute favorite if this Kate Landry box clutch with a black clasp and a melange of large rhinestones. Very old Hollywood.  It’s $95.

Want metallic but no sparkle?  This gold envelope clutch from Chico’s is $35 (so much style for the price), and

this silver frame clutch is really sleek.

It’s been awhile since I’ve featured a champagne cocktail, but this drink from The Domestic Mixologist is perfect for drinks with the girls on a random Friday or a bridal/baby shower.  It combines blood orange bitters, a sugar cube and a sliver of orange peel for a citrusy libation that could easily sub-in for a mimosa at brunch.

Happy Hour

The Beauty Edit: An Under-Eye Concealer That Actually Works

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 […]
