10th Commandment: July 8

Margritte Crossbody ($48)

I receive a decent amount of reader mail asking for crossbody bag suggestions.  This inexpensive satchel is faux-leather with a classic shape and clean lines.  It also has two inside pockets to hold a decent number of items.

I also like this zip front option that has a sleek profile and comes in several great colors.  Prefer flaps?  The Cambridge Satchel is the original, but it might be a bit too recognizable after it’s turn as the “it bag” last summer.  I also like this bright yellow bag and this tan bag that has rustic vibe to it.

If you’d like something more in a messenger style, Kate Spade has a cool crossbody for sale right now.   This Marc Jacobs bag is also a great choice if you’re looking for something smaller for the weekend.  And I love the simplicity of this Foley + Corinna bag on sale at Zappos right now.

    I have the Kate Spade Little Minka bag and get compliments all the time. It is also very well made. Highly recommend.

    I splurged on a Chanel WOC a few years ago and I just love it. It’s pricey, but it is a classic. You can wear it as a crossbody or use it as a clutch.

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 […]
