1) I’m a woman. Don’t hug me. Shake my hand, dammit. (Deadspin)

2) This $23 BP. clutch is perfectly preppy and utterly chic.

3) Hyperbolic discounting, and why you’re making bad choices. (Medium)

6) One lace blouse + skinny pants + cool sandals = Friday Night Outfit

7) My professional success is ruining my relationship. (The Cut)

9) How to care for color treated hair in the summer. (Well + Good)

10) This striped tee and fit-and-flare dress have me rethinking the Gap.

11) Are wine drinkers confined to a pink-hued summer rose purgatory? (Eater)

12) Looking for the best pinky-beige polish?  This $6 Revlon Perfect Pair is it.

    I really enjoyed the handshake article and thought that man’s comment about wanting to hug everyone but holding back with men was really telling about our culture. How sad it is that we force men and boys to be so unemotional.

  2. Denise says:

    I’d be really interested in your opinion of The Curated Closet, would you recommend it? is it helpful? not helpful? could the advice be summed up in a blog post?

    No matter how many blog posts/articles I’ve read on capsule wardrobes and closet staples, I still struggle to maintain a cohesive style while not falling victim to every new trend. I also find that my professional and casual wardrobes differ wildly. As the book description says, I’d love to be able to describe my personal style in one sentence, so if it’s worth the read, I’ll go pick it up immediately!

    • Belle says:

      Since I moved into my house, my closet has gotten out of control. (I think there may have also been some post law school binge shopping in there.) And since I had a perfectly edited closet for years, I’m trying to use the book as inspiration. I’m working on some posts to go with it regarding editing your wardrobe.

  3. Jess says:

    I subscribe to the blog via a feed reader (Feedly), and since the redesign, none of the pictures, hyperlinks, or formatting is coming across. I completely understand if this isn’t a priority, but wanted to make you aware of the situation if you weren’t already!

  4. duchessbelle says:

    FYI, I generally get your blog through Feedly on my iPhone and the site design has posts truncated and there’s no formatting (so the workday reading post didn’t have any of the links

    • duchessbelle says:

      Gack sorry dropped my phone, anyway, it’s not showing the formatting and is forcing a click through to the site to read full posts.

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 […]
