    Hi – the Dillard’s links just go to the main page. Thanks.

  2. Claire says:

    Number 6 doesn’t work. Just goes straight to ALL Dillards dresses. Please post those specific dresses. I’d love to see them. Thanks

  3. Maryn says:

    Thank you for sharing the link to Fruitful! As a proud mommy to an IVF miracle, it means a great deal to me to see women like you advocating for the infertility community.

  4. Marisa says:

    The Dillard’s links all take me to the home page as well!

    Hi Belle! None of the Dillards links are working – they all take me to the main page of their website. Thanks for all your hard work on this blog! Much appreciated.

  6. MARGARET M HRUSCHKA says:

    The last link “Sarah’s latest travel post about Morocco” is sending me to a pin of the tassel earrings you posted about earlier.

  7. Amy says:

    Thank you for sharing the link to Fruitful. I’m a happy mom of 2 via adoption, but man, it was a tough road through infertility. I will share this with others and consider mentoring.

  8. Stephanie says:

    About the phone use on vacation, I don’t even think it’s peoples’ work email that’s the issue. I was just in Maui and nearly everyone at our 5 star resort was sitting at the pool all day, scrolling mindlessly on their phones. Not a lot of tapping away at emails or getting up to take calls where it was quieter. And many of the women were moms who, statistically, probably don’t even have jobs. It was all really sad– they were ignoring their kids, their spouses, friends, the ocean, skipping the snorkeling and the view. On the first day I decided to leave my phone in the room unless I needed it to navigate while on an outing. It really helped. Oh and I literally left my work phone at home in LA. Work was still here when I got back.

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 […]
