Accessory Tuesday: Gold Brioche Ring
This post may contain affiliate links and CorporetteMoms may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
I have a fine collection of bold cocktail rings (thanks, Mom!) that I used to wear when I wanted to make a statement. But they weren’t always the most practical (for one thing, the huge stones don’t fit under gloves).
Here’s a ring that has a modern, low-key design that still makes you look twice. This 10K solid gold ring is perfect for everyday wear. The rope pattern is striking enough to wear alone, yet it plays well with others. (I’d pair it with a gold diamond band.)
Stone and Strand’s Gold Brioche Ring is $395 and comes in sizes 5–10.

I know many people here have the opposite problem, but it’s our first summer with a kid in K-12 school and I’m struggling with how to pack everything into what feels like a very short summer break. My kid only gets 10 weeks and we currently have plans to be out of the town for 6 of them (3 weeks of vacation and 3 weeks visiting friends and family where DH & I will work remotely and kid will go to camp). I know there’s going to come a point at which our kid isn’t happy about being gone this much or it interferes with activities, but as of right now it’s ok, right? I don’t want to ruin her social life or deprive her of the chance to have some lazy summer pool day memories, but travel and visiting our friends and family is also important.
I want to go sit next to a beach or pool with my two kids somewhere that it is warm for a long weekend in between jobs. I’m thinking somewhere in Florida because I want a short, direct flight from the northeast. I’m not interested in leaving the country because that requires coordination with the ex. Mainly, I’m looking for a gorgeous pool, preferably more than one, on-site restaurants and not a long drive from the airport. Kids are 9 and 12. Any recommendations?
What shoes are we liking these days for littler kids? Ideally shoes that don’t cost over $50? DS is 4.5yo and wears a 12. Most of what I see for him has laces, which I’d like to avoid. Anyone have a velcro sneaker option that they’d recommend?
Do you all have your elementary school kids participate in summer reading programs? I sort of did this naturally as a kid, but I feel like my second grader could benefit from some structure around it and the chance to practice. But I also don’t want to turn it into an obligation that she dreads.
Do any stores carry maternity clothes in store? I hate doing the online ordering roulette and having to find time to get to the post office to return stuff. I just want to try stuff on! I’m in the middle of my second trimester and really need some clothing for work. I work in the government, so can probably get away with more causal things if necessary but also don’t have the money to spend a lot. Any recommendations would be great!
Anyone have a source for kids’ tshirts (4/5T) that have a similar fit as slim-fit pajama tops? After wearing only dresses for the past year, my very particular and very wonderful 5yo has now switched to t-shirts BUT NOT LOOSE, MAMA. Right now he often just wears his pajama shirts as regular shirts, which is fine, but I’m wondering if there’s another source I’m missing.
We had some birds build a nest in our front door wreath and the eggs hatched a few days before we left on vacation 10 days ago. We weren’t sure the babies were going to survive because the mom seemed AWOL right before we left and the babies looked so hungry. But we came home to fully-feathered fledglings! Big excitement for the preschooler.
Has anyone found a collection of fairy tales that isn’t as s*xist as the originals are? I don’t need a “hit you over the head” feminist version per se but maybe just a more modern retelling?
