Just 30 days left of law school.  What a ride.

***

1) She was accepted to five Ivy League schools, the subject of her essay?  Her love for Costco. (Mashable)

2) BP. has a light grey bucket bag for $48 that is perfect for the weekend.

3) Want to work in politics?  A brief, yet accurate, description of campaign jobs. (FamousDC)

4) LOFT has some pretty dresses for spring.  I love this red ladder-lace shift dress.  This “vibrant cobalt” flare dress is also a stunner.

5) Say No to the Dress: How websites like Choies and RomWe use professional photos and stolen Instagrams to get you to buy really ugly, poorly made clothing.

6) Last day for the Shopbop 25% off sale.  I picked up these Sam Edelman flats and these chic Bronzallure rings with an internal pave.

7) How to keep up with the news and stay informed, even when you are busy. (Hitha on the Go)

8) Need to clean your jewelry?  This Glitzy Glove polishing cloth and Bling Brush are must haves.

9) Two simple updo tutorials for busy days: the two-minute low braid bun and simple chignon hair.

10) If you love an eye palette, MAC’s ‘Neutral Times’ palette is full of gorgeous colors.  Their ‘Purple Times’ palette is essential for lovers of purple shadow.

11) 13 questions to ask before getting married. (The New York Times)

12) This dark green Jason Wu gown proves that ruffles can be cool.

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.

The Range: A Business Look from Boden

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.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

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 […]
