We kept our usual team meeting short and sweet today. The main topic? Memorial Day Sales.
The Best Of J.Crew's Memorial Day Weekend Sale
Some of our very favorite retailers are already sharing the love so we collectively decided to jump on J.Crew first. We all look to J.Crew for countless wardrobe staples -- the most flattering swimwear, loungewear that...
I ordered Naadam's sustainably made Balloon Sleeve cardigan, and I know what you're thinking: "S? You feeling OK?"
I get it. My long-stated position is that I'm NOT a cardigan girl (I think it was the combined six years of nursing that did me in), so why on earth would I buy a cardigan? In a soft lilac color no...
Agolde seems to be one of the most-loved brands when it comes to denim shorts. They have been on my radar for years, and finally, after most of my shorts got too small for my post-quarantine body--or maybe my summer clothing storage box had shrinking powers--I had to find new pairs I loved.

Jackets and I have a volatile relationship. I either look like I'm about to morph into the Hulk (gotta love those swimmer's shoulders) or like I'm borrowing my dad's jacket, but not in a cool way. Layering with cute jackets always felt out of reach for me.
Until I got my hands on the Free People Rumors Denim Jacket.

I ran across this gorgeous ivory blazer from Ann Taylor when I was recently pulling together my spring and summer workwear capsule. Being the blazer fan-girl I am (and I don't just mean the Portland basketball kind) I had to try it. Turns out it was worth the try! Wowza. I love it!

I love Everlane's jeans, you guys. I found two pairs of those perfect not-skinny-but-not-mom-jeans that are so hard to get right. And they go with everything.

One is their Super-Soft Relaxed Jeans that I'm wearing in white (well bone, technically) and the other is their Way-High Jeans that...
I love a trend, especially a '90s shoe trend. When Steve Madden brought back their legendary Slinky Black Sandals I squealed with delight and was immediately transported back to boy band wars, Trapper Keepers, and trips to Claire's to see how far my $20 in babysitting coin could take me.
Unfortunately, nostalgia did not supersede reality and the sandals...
A lovely reader wrote in recently asking for help with summer workwear options. While I haven't worked in an office for quite a few years, I have a deep love for gorgeous pants, blazers and pretty color combos when it comes to workwear. I found myself pulling this together and wanting to find some occasions to wear these to...
I've found that raincoats tend to be either water-resistant (therefore eventually succumbing to the elements)...or, if they're really-for-real waterproof, the jacket is often a little stuffy, rubbery, stiff, or--at best--not that breathable. Truly waterproof raincoats haven't been--to date--the the most comfortable thing to wear next to my skin.
So when Mike and I found ourselves back in Philly, in...
This makeup brush is a game-changer, friends. It applies foundation (and blush and highlighter) flawlessly...with zero learning curve. Adiya Dixon Wiggins, creator of Yubi Beauty, originally made the Yubi brush to simplify her makeup routine. She wanted a way to apply makeup that was fast and easy and didn't require a bunch of different tools.
The Yubi brush is...
