***

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.

The Beauty Edit: An Under-Eye Concealer That Actually Works

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

The Range: A Business Look from Boden

Every now and again, I spot a piece on sale and I have to have it. I need it. I cannot live without it. Recently, I spotted a jersey tee at Boden that takes a casual top to the next level, and I just needed to share.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
