The Edition: No. 126

If you aren’t fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm. — Vince Lombardi

Drunk. Always have three beverages.

Buy It, Now. This Halogen wrap midi dress has a breezy femininity to it that I cannot get enough of.  Also available in plus.

Equity. To achieve true power, women need to start talking frankly about money.

Dried. Have long hair (or extensions)? You need this flex brush; faster drying, fewer tangles.

Starry Eyed. Astrology doesn’t have to be real to be helpful.

Styled. I can’t wait to wear this OTK boot under pleated midi skirts. (My legs are going to be so warm.)

Earned. Advice for when “making a good salary” messes with your priorities.

Sold. 40% off at Old Navy.  This water resistant trench and “desk chair cardi” are both good choices.

Communed. I was fascinated by this NYT article about Womyn’s Lands.

Ooooh. Forget practicality, this Topshop bag is sublime.

Questioned.  How to conduct a job interview.

Pocketed. This Lark & Ro dress arrived on a Friday and was worn 3x in one week.

Early Riser. The trailer for The Morning Show looks really good.

This blog is essentially a collection of pieces and styles that catch my eye.  And this washable (yes, washable) silk top from Everlane definitely drew my gaze.  It comes in four great colors, and sizes 00-16.

Given the shortness of the style, on long-torso’ed women, you should go for a high waist pant or skirt. I like this high waist pleated skirt from Express.

    Thank you for the NYT and Cut articles, though I am again astounded at the stupidity in the comment sections… just… mind-boggling. Homophobia and sexism runs rampant, and a ton of the responses to The Cut article about excess money were just “have kids”?!

    Obviously this blog is on a much smaller scale, but with all that nonsense I appreciate your readers/commenters more and more, haha.

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.

The Mondays: March 18, 2024

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]
