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.

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 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 […]
