1) Bonappetite offers the tips and tools you need to become a better baker.  Also, if you want a summer dessert that wows, you need Peach Upside Down Cake.  (It’s also easy, bonus.)

2) I’m on a printed skirt kick.  This floral silk skirt from Nordstrom caught my eye.  I also like this geo-print Nine West pencil, and this marbled-print skirt.

3) How to Make Yourself Unforgettable.

4) These Eddie Borgo rose quarts studs are amazingly modern but still pretty and feminine.

5) Emily McDowell, a cancer survivor,  creates “empathy cards” for newly diagnosed patients because what’s available just doesn’t get the job done.

6) Looking for chic work pumps for under-$150?  This Bilia slingback is fantastic with cutout details.  This Nine West d’Orsay pump has a cool shape (in three colors).

7) The Washington Post’s advice columnist covers “chore war” between spouses.  It reminded me of this old WSJ piece about how to divide labor between spouses.

8) I love this lace-accented racerback bra.  The ruby wine color is really pretty in person.  I also like this $29 triangle bra from Kimchi Blue for weekend wear.

9) Mental Floss decodes the symbols on your car dashboard.  It’s a must read for anyone whose ever had to dig through the manual to make sure her vehicle wasn’t about to explode.

Happy Hour: Atlantic Beach Pie

There are two kinds of people in this world: People who eat cake on their birthdays and people who don’t.  And some of the weirdos in the latter category (I said what I said) eat pie as an alternative.  So if you’re a “birthday pie” eater with a late summer celebration coming up, may I […]

The Find: The Only Wire-Free Bra That Didn’t Fail Me

After Sloane was born, I developed a seething hatred for underwire bras.  The trouble was that I had also developed a larger, slightly droopier bust.  It was a cruel irony.

The 2010s Trends I’m Loving and Leaving Behind

Our tween and teen nieces spent the first half of 2023 reviving our high school fashions.  From peasant tops to low rises, I felt like I was back bopping to N’SYNC in my mint-green sedan for a minute.  Now, our 20-something direct reports are bringing back the 2010s in a big way, and I am […]
