1) The secret to ‘small talk.’ (Science of Us)

2) This might be the perfect summer business suit, and it’s $77.

3) All the ways women are pressured to put family before career. (HuffPost)

4) 40% off at LOFT. Don’t miss this feminine shell or swing jacket.

5) Sherman Alexie is ‘not the Indian you expected.’ A must read. (Buzzfeed)

6) Embroidered floral flats + distressed denim + white top = cool and casual.

7) “Is there no man I can talk to?” Real stories of workplace sexism. (CNBC)

8) Need a business card case?  The $15 Lodis Audrey comes in so many colors.

9) How to get the right mentors in your corner. (Forbes)

10) Has anyone tried Clinique’s Matte Lip Powder?

11) These brushstroke Dolce & Gabbana skirts, in black and berry, are so chic.

12) I need this belt for all of my black dresses. And this one for everything else.

13) “I regret to inform you…” (the funniest Dear John letter, ever). (ManRepeller)

What Boggles the Mind. North Carolina, where a woman can’t revoke consent.

What I Need for Long Hikes. The O2 Cool Mist + Sip. Half water bottle, half mister.

What I’m Listening To. The Millionaire Next Door audiobook.  Good info, a bit repetitive.

    I loved the small talk piece.

    I have the Lodis Audrey card case and a matching slim wallet. The leather is very nice, and I liked having a lot of color choices.

  2. Valerie says:

    I have tried the Clinique Matte lip powder. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I quite like it. I have the Blossom colour and wear it over lip balm so it is not too drying. The colour is very long lasting and you are able to vary the intensity with the application. I do not like a strong matte look as I find it to be aging but the lip balm takes the edge off in just the right amount for me.

  3. Mary G. says:

    I know you mentioned financial topics in a previous post – I just finished “Get a Financial Life” by Beth Kobliner, and I could not recommend it more highly (it’s been in print since ’96). She’s actually speaking tomorrow at sixth&i.

  4. Hilary says:

    Just a heads up that my kids each had the 02 Cooler bottle and they are so hard to get/keep clean! I ended up having to throw them away after noticing mold forming in an unreachable crevice.

  5. Michaela says:

    The Dear John letter is SO good. Thanks for the laughs.

  6. Loving the Dear John letter. Thanks so much for linking!

  7. Kim says:

    Belle! There’s a family owned shop on etsy that sells handmade versions of these. I have them in 3 colors & have worn them regularly for 3 yrs.

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.

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 […]
