1) Bonappetite offers the tips and tools you need to become a better baker.  Also, if you want a summer dessert that wows, you need Peach Upside Down Cake.  (It’s also easy, bonus.)

2) I’m on a printed skirt kick.  This floral silk skirt from Nordstrom caught my eye.  I also like this geo-print Nine West pencil, and this marbled-print skirt.

3) How to Make Yourself Unforgettable.

4) These Eddie Borgo rose quarts studs are amazingly modern but still pretty and feminine.

5) Emily McDowell, a cancer survivor,  creates “empathy cards” for newly diagnosed patients because what’s available just doesn’t get the job done.

6) Looking for chic work pumps for under-$150?  This Bilia slingback is fantastic with cutout details.  This Nine West d’Orsay pump has a cool shape (in three colors).

7) The Washington Post’s advice columnist covers “chore war” between spouses.  It reminded me of this old WSJ piece about how to divide labor between spouses.

8) I love this lace-accented racerback bra.  The ruby wine color is really pretty in person.  I also like this $29 triangle bra from Kimchi Blue for weekend wear.

9) Mental Floss decodes the symbols on your car dashboard.  It’s a must read for anyone whose ever had to dig through the manual to make sure her vehicle wasn’t about to explode.

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 Range: Printed Shirt Dresses

If you’re preparing your wardrobe for the warmer weather, don’t sleep on shirt dresses. Casual when worn with sandals or sneaker, dressy with flats or heels, they’re great for any work situation. They’re a great piece that you can throw on any time you need to look pulled together. Here are a few choices.

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 […]
