This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here. (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]
For eight years, I have worn the same workout shorts. Every year, an influencer tries to sell me new shorts. I order them. I try them on. They pale in comparison to the shorts I already own. I return them.
Have a big day ahead? Major hearing? Big trial? The presentation of your life? Gonna be at a conference with that ex? Whatever it happens to be, these are the fashion weapons that get me to the confidence level that I need to be at.

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
I’m wearing the JCrew clamp bracelet today. It’s so classy and versatile; one of my favorite pieces of jewelry.
As a longtime reader of this blog, I’ve always had my eye out for tortoise shoes – it seems like they’d be a great alternative to plain brown. Any favorite pairs recently?
Yes! I’d love a recommendation for tortoise flats or loafers!
Ditto on the tortoise shoes!
Yes please! I had a pair (from payless, no less- they were so cheap and comfy, but of course didn’t last long) and would love to find another, longer lasting pair!
agree, agree! would love to see some tortoise pumps. I tried a Talbots pair but they hurt and I was so sad to have to return them
No doubt these are beautiful bracelets, but I read once that turtles are killed expressly for their shells to make, among other items, jewelry. I have since backed away from this trend to send a message to industry that cruelty-free practices are my preference over fashion. I see you recommended a lucite version, so hopefully plastic or other materials to create the look of tortoise shell will prevail over genuine tortoise shell.
It appears that the bracelets in the post are “tortoiseshell and marble design” or straight up plastic and resin. I’ll keep an eye out for future posts.
almost all of the “tortoiseshell” fashion jewelry you see is made of plastic or resin since 1973, the trade of tortoiseshell worldwide was banned under CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) so you can hopefully enjoy the look knowing its cruelty free
