Another month has come and gone, and between a busy work schedule, illness and the search for new childcare, I almost forgot to ask for questions for the AMA. Luckily, I remembered late last night. So here we go. I always think it’s funny when people send rude or overly personal questions when I put […]

I love stocking stuffers. They are the best part of Christmas. There’s just nothing quite like an affordable gift that’s funny or useful or chic (or maybe all three). So here is Part One of my stocking stuffer gift guides, where nothing costs more than $30.

In the name of fiscal responsibility, I’m taking a shopping respite through the end of the year. When you write a fashion blog, not shopping is like being a person on a diet who moves into a McDonald’s. But I’m determined to flex some self-discipline now that my holiday shopping is done.

Since my daughter was born, Amazon has claimed so much of my money that I had to buy stock just to get some of it back. Between the formula, onesies, fruit pouches, diapers, wipes, and ever evolving list of baby development gear, I could not survive without Prime. My husband no longer notices the […]

I’m a big fan of the sloan sheath (I saw an adorable polka dot version at BR this weekend) but I can’t justify the price tag. I’m hoping it’ll drop if I just wait long enough…

I got mine when dresses were on sale and used my friend’s BR card (she had a 40% off reward). Definitely don’t buy anything at BR full price, but this dress is so worth it.
Hi Belle,
I love the Sloan sheath! I’m actually wondering how best to style it for a cocktail event. Specifically, I’m pondering necklace or no necklace with that neckline and what to do with my hair. I would greatly appreciate any advice you could offer! Thanks!
Hi Belle, I have a similar dress, though it’s an a-line, with a built in belt just above the waist. Okay, so it’s a completely different dress, but you reminded me of it. Problem is, with my office being fairly casual, I don’t know how to style a dress like this for work when I need to be a crisp professional. Do I just have the wrong dress as a foundation piece?
Couldn’t have kept my job without your blog!

Add structure. A belt, a fitted blazer, etc. Choose pieces that have more structure to balance the shape of the dress.
