1) After Ailes and Cosby, a moment for more women to speak up about sexual harassment. (The New York Times)

2) I seriously CANNOT believe this Lacroix bag is $99. It looks so much more expensive.

3) Where are all the Republican women? And why aren’t they running for office? (Politico)

4) I am loving this Michael Kors Lake watch in your choice of luggage tan/gold and plum/rose gold.

5) Why you should have two drinks at a party. (Lifehacker)

6) This Benefit Ka’Brow eyebrow-filling gel is idiot proof and looks totally natural.

7) Should you be thinking about a career break? (Levo)

8) This Karen Millen dress looks like the more expensive Antonio Berardi dresses.  I also like the brand’s light, lace trim top for $85.

    Re: #6, another eyebrow product I really like is the Benefit “Gimme Brow” volumizing fiber gel. It comes with a mascara-like brush that lets me apply just enough color to emphasize my brows without making them look extremely dramatic. It’s available at Sephora and Birchbox.

      I also prefer Gimme Brow to Ka’Brow! Ka’Brow is somewhat similar to Dipbrow by Anastasia; frankly, I prefer the latter. Shade range is better, the pot is easier to deal with.

      It is nice that the benefit product comes with a brush, but now that I’ve tried it, it wouldn’t be my first choice.

    • Kelly says:

      I like a combo of the Benefit “Precisely, My Brow” pencil (first, to brush and fill in really bare spots), then following up with the brow box by urban decay to fill in volume and wax in shape. All Sephora.

      Used to love the Gimme Brow–still do, use it when I travel to minimize what products I’m dragging around!–but I found the other routine works better if there’s more to fill.

    Loved the “two drinks at a party” article! As someone transitioning from college parties to corporate ones, it provides a nice intro for how to not be one of “those people” (the awkward teetotalers or the overgrown frat boys) at a work event.

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 […]
