    Any leads on retractable id holders? I just can’t bring myself to wear a lanyard!

    Oh my! That before and after! what great bones and even better modern result. Love everything about it

  3. Yasmin says:

    That skirt is to die for! That’s going on my wishlist. In the alternative, does anyone know of any budget versions ( under $100) of the DVF skirt?

  4. Sarah says:

    I am obsessed with the glossier cleanser. It’s the best I’ve found at taking off my makeup – almost like a cleansing oil but it doesn’t require a second cleanse. I’ve never tried their concealer, but I also swear by Boy Brow and the Cloud Paint blushes. Their new sunscreen is great too! I’m curious to see what you think of the cleanser.

  5. Caitlin says:

    We’re coming up on tights time, huh… I need to upgrade from my shitty H&M ones. Are Boden’s worth it?

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 […]
