1) “A Day in the Life of Pinterest” — imagine if Pinterest was a person, The New Yorker presents a satirical documentation of her daily life.

2) Still hunting for summer sandals?  These Seychelles “I’ve Got a Secret” flats are really cute with a knot detail.  I also like these Joe’s sandals in a delightful copper color.

3) Elle reviews the forthcoming book Under the Bus, a counterpoint to Lean In.  The article addresses many issues like, why must work be a calling:

Work, as I’ve always understood it, isn’t a gentle, swaying sort of thing. It’s not full of opportunities for musing on work/life-balance. It’s where you go, when they let you, to make whatever money they’ll give you in exchange for your labor.

4) Looking for fewer ingredients in your beauty products?  I am one week in to using the S.W. Basics skincare line, with fewer than five ingredients in each product.  So far, loving it.

5) Another Picasso sold for a record sum, but is the public paying the price for the soaring market?

6) This green-onyx and rose-gold bracelet stopped me in my tracks.  For $49, Henri Bendel offers a malachite ring in a similarly striking green.

7) The New York Times discusses how Kris Jenner, the ultimate Mom-ager, redefined what it meant to be a celebrity.  (It’s an interesting, at times nauseating, read.)

    Did anyone else notice the following at the top of the Joe’s page on Nordstrom’s website:

    “Check out Pop-In@Nordstrom x Nike Women. Shop like a lady boss!”

    What the heck is a “lady boss”?

    Love S.W. Basics products (they used to be Sprout I believe).

    Also, I didn’t find the Elle review to be terribly helpful, it was so short! I think that’s the second time I have clicked over to an Elle book review and been disappointed.

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.

The Range: Printed Shirt Dresses

If you’re preparing your wardrobe for the warmer weather, don’t sleep on shirt dresses. Casual when worn with sandals or sneaker, dressy with flats or heels, they’re great for any work situation. They’re a great piece that you can throw on any time you need to look pulled together. Here are a few choices.

The Mondays: March 18, 2024

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]
