Going out? Need a bag that holds all your essentials without weighing you down? You need a crossbody with a hint of chic. Here are some of my favorites.

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.
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.
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 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 […]
While we’re on the topic of hands free bags, can we get a yay or nay on belt bags (okay, okay, fanny packs). It’s fall festival season and I love the idea of a bag on my hip for phone, cash, ID, etc. I’m also embarrassed to even consider it. Thoughts?
I think at a festival it could work, but I’d be weary of wearing one out and about.
Don’t be embarrassed; I’m jealous of my husband’s fanny pack. It’s so easy to use for him while I’m shleping the diaper bag around. Granted, we trade off with the diaper bag, but then I need to grab it back if I need anything (wallet, keys, etc.). Sigh. I would definitely consider a posh belt bag if I could find one that sat right on my waist/hips. Or just accept reality and just use a retro fanny pack and rock it.
There are a lot of cute small backpack options out there at the moment if you can’t fully stomach a “belt bag.”
That being said, the (faux) leather ones are kind of chic. Fast fashion places should have options! I definitely wouldn’t drop major $$ into such a questionable trend…
that chloe bag is everything. #goals
