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 […]

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.
