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.

November AMA: You Asked, I Answered

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.

Gift Guide 2023: Stocking Stuffers, Pt. 1

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.

You Have, You Need: Camel Sweater Edition

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.

Add to Cart: Five Recent Amazon Purchases

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 […]
