I have an expansive collection of belts — here’s an obi-inspired one I’d love to add to cart.
This 3.5-inch-wide belt is crafted with Italian calfskin leather and has closures in the front and back. The pretty, versatile “dune” color will work now and into the spring. Add definition to high waisted trousers, dresses, and even your longline coats for a completely different look.
Lafayette 148 New York’s Ob Soft Calfskin Leather Belt is $498 at Nordstrom and comes in sizes S–XL (just a few sizes left of each).

Has anyone been to Key Largo with kids? We want a last minute warm weather escape, but we’re doing the Caribbean all-inclusive thing with my parents for spring break, so I’d rather keep this trip in the continental US and I think that pretty much limits us to Florida. We have a 5 year old who will be content to swim all day, but interesting stuff for the adults would be a plus. Or other areas in FL that would be better? We have no interest in Disney and I’ve spent a lot of time in Miami and been to Key West, Fort Lauderdale and Naples/Marco Island so not those places. We’ve also been to the Destin/30A area a couple times, but it’s probably too cold for swimming there this time of year anyway.
Any recs for a moisturizing concealer? Or do I just need to put on more eye cream before I put on concealer?
Has anyone been to Panama with kids? Thoughts? good places to stay? activity recommendations? I’m considering it as a spring break location because I’m unenthused about a Caribbean beach and it looks like the flights aren’t too much longer or more expensive. Kids are early elementary age.
Alternatively, I’m open to other warm locations in Eastern or Central time zone that are a <8 hours travel time!
my 4.5 year old is obsessed with sweets. like asks all the time or complains, “we aren’t going to have any sweets today.” i talk about sweets just like any other food, all foods do different things for our body, some have lots of nutrients and vitamins and help fuel our bodies more than others. we talk about how we can’t eat only one food, whether it be chocolate or broccoli because then our bodies wouldn’t be getting what it needed. on sunday we went to a birthday party and she couldn’t focus on the activity bc she just wanted to know when it would be time for cupcakes and then after eating said cupcake she was licking the wrapper to make sure she didn’t miss a crumb. i mean i get it – i have a HUGE sweet tooth and would love to subsist on ice cream and cookies, but obviously don’t. any ideas?
Eyebrow gel or product recommendations for Brooke Shields style eyebrows? I really just need to tame and or fluff them, not draw more/new ones. Currently using a toothbrush so clearly I’m desperate lol.
Shouting into the void today: I hate having to have my whole summer planned in January! Camp signups opened today and I still haven’t figured out our vacation days (or even where we are going for certain) and my whole brain hurts. That is all.
Does anyone have a super messy kid?? My almost 6 year old DD is an extreme crafter (great! We love her creativity!) and a collector/part time bag lady carrying collections around the house. We love how independent and self-directed she is. But I spend A LOT of time cleaning up these messes. She does clean up nightly as asked, but there’s still parental cleanup required. This morning she spilled dozens of teeny tiny seashells that I had to vaccuum up. I know the answer is to “lower my standards of cleanliness” but it seems like me and DH just cannot change this part of our personality. We like an orderly house so we clean up every evening. We have biweekly cleaning. Our house isn’t huge so we can’t just relegate crafting to an area that won’t be used by adults. She also likes to be near us, so this all occurs in our main dining and living space. Add on top a whirling dervish of an 3yo DS :) Advise or commiseration?
Anyone done misfits market or similar service and have strong opinions about whether it is worth it? I’m not that hung up on organic options, but I do like the idea of minimizing food waste. I’ve looked into local CSAs and there is nothing within a reasonable driving distance other than a berry farm or two.
