***

1) Mid-week pick me up: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler shutting down sexism. (Buzzfeed)

2) Not sure I’m feeling this “cake mascara” from Besame.  My Armani Eyes to Kill still treats me right.

3) “What I learned reading 3,721 pages of Hillary Clinton’s schedule.” (CNBC)

4) Nordstrom Rack is having a sale on work dresses.  I like this Black Halo-lookalike sheath from Alexia Adamor, and this half-price Hugo Boss number.  Hurry, the best styles are selling out fast.

5) Instead of small talk, these hosts choose a directed topic for dinner conversation. (Crain’s)

6) This $99 Ralph Lauren dolman-sleeve sweater gives off all the good fall vibes.  Also in plus-size.

7) Diane von Furstenberg on “making it as a woman.” (Business of Fashion)

8) The Boden sale is killing it with basic pieces like this super soft swing top and these scallop ballet flats on deep discount.

    Hi Belle –
    Love the new blog format (and name!). One tiny request: consider changing the light gray text for links to a more high contrast color? It’s a bit invisible against the white background.

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. I always think it’s funny when people send rude or overly personal questions when I put […]

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 […]
