Summer dressing feels more relaxed than fall or winter. To compliment my summer wardrobe, I turn to accessories like this moonstone pendant.
This organically shaped moonstone is hand-set in 18k gold vermeil. The 16” chain includes a 2” extender so you can wear it with a variety of necklines. Add a shorter chain or two for a layered look that’s still light and delicate.
Monica Vinader’s Odyssey Stone Pendant Necklace is $300 at Nordstrom.

does anyone else ever feel guilt for what they have/can afford and how do you reconcile it? we donate money, we volunteer time, try to be good people, etc. but sometimes it feels ‘wrong’ that we can pay out of pocket for therapists for our kids or live in a nice house or take vacations and stay in nice hotels. some of it is based on hard work, but a lot is also based on luck. like there are people who work much harder than we do, working 3+ jobs just to put food on the table.
This is sad, but it’s really on my mind. For reasons I don’t need to go into, I am coming to a realization my husband and I have truly irreconcilable differences. It has been a slow series of events, and it is really sad because we have been together for a long time, but it has been years now and this is not going to improve. I also have a 3 year old.
It’s better for her if we can fix things. We may not be able to, because, at some point, it is becoming clear to me things will not get better.
I am just distracted today and my heart hurts. I want to do what is best for my child. I can’t bear the thought of shared custody and not seeing my child for even a day. This is so hard.
Any helpful experiences or advice?
Oof, interviewed for a civil service job this AM and the weird questions caught me so off guard and I biffed it. Glad I already have a job (this would have been a mat leave cover secondment). But I was really looking forward to a change of scene.
