The Find: The Perfect Spring Bag

Mar 9, 2023

Since Sloane was born, my wardrobe has consisted of leggings , pajamas and business suits with not a lot of in-between.  I get dressed for work but struggle to get dressed for weekend events.  So as I was shopping for some elevated casual options, I spotted a bag that injects a dose of style into your weekend wardrobe.  It’s also under-$100.  Praise be.

This canvas bucket bag with leather trim from Mango looks like a designer piece, but costs less than $90 after tax. Whether you’re wearing a t-shirt and jeans or a flirty spring dress (this one is sublime), this bag gives any outfit a boost.

I bought this bag the instant I saw it.  I’ve carried it twice, and both times, women have stopped me to ask who made it.  The great thing about this bag is that it has an impossibly chic look that’s also easy and relaxed.  So whether you’re sidewalk strutting on your way to brunch or walking your toddler to school, this is a bag that works.

And stay tuned while I try to put a casual wardrobe together, because once it’s too warm to wear my favorite sweater, I’m basically out of ideas.

This weekend, I got two hours to myself for the first time in months. Really to myself. My child was asleep. My dogs were asleep. Kyle was off playing cards with his friends. My house was clean, and there was nothing else to do but sit in my bed and scroll Instagram. It was glorious. […]

The Counter: The Post-Product Era

When I was in my 20s, I bought every trendy nail polish, eye color, and lip gloss.  Sure, I could only wear them on the weekends, but why not wear emerald green liner?  In my 30s, I became enamored with skincare and took every “must-have” product for a spin.  But in my 40s, my skin […]
