I read about the Amope Pedi Perfect foot file on my friend Andrea’s blog, I Want To Be Her, a couple of weeks ago, and because it was recommended by a beauty editor I respect—and because my callous situation is quite dire—I ordered it immediately. And reader, I am here to tell you that if, like me, you’ve tried other solutions—scrubs, files, pedicures—and found the results wanting, you might want to give this a shot. It removes callous so fast and so well that you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
Every year, Clare V makes this basket bag in a different color and once again I am sorely tempted—the red and blue strap is so cool and unexpected with the yellow.
A very loud beaded clutch I couldn’t resist including.
I could see making this red option my everyday bag.
I like the idea of wearing an almost-sleeveless top like this one from Nili Lotan under a blazer to cut down on bulk. (And here is a cheaper option, if you’re interested.)
I’d wear this tiered top half-tucked (I know some of you are over the half-tuck, but I abide) and layered under a leather jacket.
I might circle the self-belt on this Universal Standard top around my waist one more time so that it doesn’t hang down quite so far, unless I was in a really dramatic mood.
An elegant and well-priced office-appropriate top.
The pintucks and eyelet work together very nicely here.
Usually I don’t like a neck this high,but the eyelet keeps everything airy.
I’m a big fan of the white-on-white stripes here, and the raw hem.
A twist hem is always so flattering, and kind of cool too. Here is a long-sleeved option, and here’s one in extended sizes.
I showed you this eyelet top in red last week, but it looks totally different in the white so I’m giving myself a repeat.
This Madewell top has just a touch of shimmer, which is a subtle bit of fun.
An off-shoulder top is kind of an evergreen, and so good with your hair piled up and big earrings.
Just an easy, classic silhouette. I can see reaching for this endlessly.
This crepe top is another good one for under blazers.
This popover is so elegant and even a little sexy.
And another popover, this one nicely streamlined. (Here is a cheaper-and-similar choice.)
This blouse looks like a vintage store find, but certain details, like the neckline, are very modern.
