***

1) Women who spend a lot of time on their looks make more money. (HuffPo)

2) This $80 white lace dress from ASOS is sublime.  I also love this mid-price garnet dress from Likely.

3) No sound, no fury, no marriage: Why conflict in relationships can be good for them. (The New York Times)

4) If you haven’t tried the Ole Henriksen Invigorating Night Gel, you must.  I’m obsessed; readers are obsessed. It works so well, I bought the companion night cream.

5) Sorry, but breakfast is not the most important meal of the day. (The New York Times)

6) Things I’m Loving Now: These wedge sandals from Gilt are everything.  Ulla Johnson’s Birdie top.  Old Navy’s crop denim jacket.

7) Trolls are hacking the social media accounts of the dead, bringing up uncomfortable realities in the digital afterlife. (The Washington Post)

8) I found the perfect silver foil heels at Anthropologie.  And I couldn’t pass up this HD in Paris lace blouse with a cool pattern.

9) The eternal conundrum: How to workout and diet for your health, without making it a body-negative experience.  Here are eight ways to keep the balance. (Refinery29)

10) Antonio Melani does it again with this gorgeous coral dress and this insanely chic Rahdia cotton sundress.

11) Some adults, who never had ADHD as children, are now developing the disorder. (Quartz)

12) Adam Lippes created a collab with The Outnet.  This one shoulder silk top is just the most gorgeous thing ever.  And of course this perfect ivory wool dress is sold out in my size (blast!!).

    Belle- have you ever tried the Paula’s Choice skin care line? I’ve seen it extolled on some other blogs and like the background of the concept, but I’m always scared to pull the trigger on a new regimen. You and I seem to have similar skin types, so I was curious if you had ever used it.

  2. Sarah Shah says:

    I love the ASOS white lace dress! Any readers (or, you Belle) have any insight as to fit and sizing of ASOS stuff? I’ve never bought anything from them. I’m usually a size 4.

  3. Carolyn says:

    Belle,
    Can you repost the link on the Garnet Likely dress? It opens to the ASOS lace dress.
    Thank you!

  4. Anne says:

    Number 1 sounds a bit like confirmation bias — women who spend more on their appearance make more money — but isn’t more likely that women who make more money have both the time and money to spend more on their appearance?

    • Lo says:

      Exactly my thought as well. Basically, there are a lot of other factors here, and while these two things may often occur together (time and money into appearance, making more money), I wouldn’t assume one causes another. On the other hand, thank you for sharing Belle, it’s good to see articles here that cause more conversation!

  5. AVL says:

    I have been thinking about the concept of the first article so much lately. As someone who is moving into a higher level in my career and really trying to establish myself, is it okay to have an “off” day? Does it reflect poorly on me if I’m great at what I do, but my makeup/outfit/hair is off every once in awhile? I spend entirely too much time thinking about this, but I’m just so curious.

  6. Beth says:

    Do let us know how you like the night cream. I picked up the night gel on your recommendation and it is amazing. it the only product that I look forward to putting on before bed.

  7. Chloe says:

    Belle – how would you style a cropped denim jacket? I have a couple denim jackets still, but feel like they’re pretty youthful-looking. Ideas on how to adultify (I just made that word up) denim jackets would be awesome …

  8. Sarah says:

    I went in to Sephora yesterday to get the invigorating night gel. The consultant I talked to noted a couple of important things. First, it is intended only for people who have *chronic* acne. Second, it is so acidic that it can *only* be used at night. Third, users **must** wear and reapply sunscreen throughout the day–otherwise the acid combined with the sun will swiftly lead to more acne and skin damage. This was the rare occasion that she didn’t try to get me to buy anything else, but After talking about my acne, she replied “you’re not at the stage you need this product yet.”

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.

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 […]
