“If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun.” — Katharine Hepburn

Blocked. How safe is sunscreen?

Slide. These $39 Steve Madden sandals (cognac and gold) are a must.

Tardy. A smart strategy for telling your boss you will be late for work.

Dressed. This slate sheath dress and black square neck sheath from Ann Taylor are workplace perfection.

Free-wheeling. Are childless, single women really happier?

Based. Wander Beauty’s primer blurs imperfections for a flawless face.

Shadowed. Advice for women struggling with feelings of failure.

Covered. This short-sleeve maxi from Daily Ritual is made for the plane.

Simmer Down. The hottest coping mechanisms right now.

Fresh. Express’s tortoise earrings and eyelet dress just scream summer.

Frozen. Helpful tips for sending out cold emails with killer subject lines.

Decorated. Can’t wait for my new office art to arrive!

Unclean. The newest trend in fashion is not washing your clothes.

This Vegan Salted Caramel Pudding is a lovely dinner party dessert.  It takes just six ingredients.  These ramekins ($12 for a set of six) come in handy for making them.  They’re also useful for portioning out ice cream and other desserts.

    I can totally get behind the less washing thing. I really only wash undies and gym clothes after one wash. I find most of my other clothes can go a few wears between washes as long as I don’t get sweaty in them. Aside from that though, I hope they come out with more women’s options. That merino t-shirt looks like it’d be the perfect tee (cooling? wrinkle free? looks pretty opaque…sign me up!)…though definitely not at the perfect price.

    My boyfriend travels a lot for work and is obsessed with wool shirts and underwear. He now packs for a 3 week trip in just a small carry on or backpack! I just wish the prices were a little lower, and more importantly- that more women’s options were out there!

    I plan on replacing my Nearly worn out Daily Ritual black v neck shirt with the wool one. I saw that the Wool& company is coming out with more wool dress styles. I hate laundry and am looking forward to trying these items. I don’t mind paying a bit more if they are durable.

  4. Caitlin says:

    I agree on the more infrequent washes. Undies, socks, and gym clothes are really the only things that only get one use per wash. My work pants get roughly 3, my tops… maybe 5? Probably more? Bras are a huge variable – if I get super sweaty in them, one use, but I often go way more.

    I’ve never been a huge stickler about these sort of things though so YMMV. I have a sensitive nose though so if something starts smelling even a tiny bit like B.O. – into the wash it goes!

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

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 Mondays: July 22, 2024

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 […]
