10th Commandment: October 21

Oct 21, 2013

Sometimes, I title these posts and think, “My goodness, where has 2013 gone?”

Today, it’s black blazers that aren’t meant to be worn as part of a suit.  I think every woman should have a non-suit blazer.  If you wear your suit jacket too much (esp. if the bottom isn’t getting much wear), you’ll age it prematurely.  It’s good to have a stylish basic that can pick up the slack.

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.

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.

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.
