    Thanks for the tip on that Ann Taylor sale! LOTS of stock – just picked up 5 items.

  2. Nellie says:

    How do you like Orange is the New Black? Is this the most recent season?

    • Belle says:

      I like it, I find it tough to watch at times. Mostly, the writers are too good at tapping into your emotions.

  3. Lindsey says:

    I work for a philanthropic foundation that provides scholarships to women with demonstrated financial need across 9 southern states. The American Association of University Women (AAUW) report that’s referenced in the Elle article linked above has been big news for our office! I doubt anyone that works in higher education was surprised by these findings, but it’s nice as someone personally and professionally interested in women’s education to see data that reflects yet another challenge we face. The full article is about 60 pages but it’s a great read, highly suggest it. (https://www.aauw.org/research/deeper-in-debt/)

  4. Valerie says:

    About #7- I’m always skeptical about online tips from a life coach, because they’re usually a bunch of aphorisms and platitudes that I could also find in a collection of fortune cookies. But Man Repeller is a no-bullshit kind of blogger (a feature she and Belle have in common), so if she/her team posts something labeled *actually helpful* I read it. And I’m actually going to sit down and do the thought exercise suggested in the last tip, thinking not just about a vague, abstract “future” but about specific areas in my life and how dreams/goals translate into realistic actions.

Happy Hour: Atlantic Beach Pie

There are two kinds of people in this world: People who eat cake on their birthdays and people who don’t.  And some of the weirdos in the latter category (I said what I said) eat pie as an alternative.  So if you’re a “birthday pie” eater with a late summer celebration coming up, may I […]

The Find: The Only Wire-Free Bra That Didn’t Fail Me

After Sloane was born, I developed a seething hatred for underwire bras.  The trouble was that I had also developed a larger, slightly droopier bust.  It was a cruel irony.

The 2010s Trends I’m Loving and Leaving Behind

Our tween and teen nieces spent the first half of 2023 reviving our high school fashions.  From peasant tops to low rises, I felt like I was back bopping to N’SYNC in my mint-green sedan for a minute.  Now, our 20-something direct reports are bringing back the 2010s in a big way, and I am […]

The Find: Bright and Striped

For the past few years, the wardrobes of many influencers have tilted toward the beige and boring.  I’m all for a good basic, but staple pieces can only take you so far.  Sometimes, you need to wear something that has a little something extra, and this sale-priced tee certainly does.
