I keep hearing readers sing the praises of Margaux, and I love the look of their best-selling demi flats.
Readers have said it “molds to their feet,” which is always a huge compliment.

Thanks to all who answered my question from this morning about online Zepbound.
Good luck to you! My husband is starting it soon too.
favorite recent tv shows to watch? i need something to fill the hole left in my life by Pitt
Deadloch, The Night Manager, Ponies, Slow Horses, Platonic, and there are new seasons of Beef, Shrinking and For All Mankind, I haven’t watched yet but plan to soon.
The Last of Us (violence and zombies for days but also incredibly compelling), Blue Lights (The Wire but modern-day Belfast), Day of the Jackal.
Doctor Best if you enjoy Doc Martin.
Would love some ideas for fully made-ahead appetizers. I will be hosting a vegetarian, someone who doesn’t eat cheese/milk, and someone with a gluten intolerance (have confirmed that e.g. a cutting board that has touched gluten is fine as long as it’s been washed).
I’m planning on an antipasto board (cheese, nuts, prosciutto/salami, fruit, tapenade, etc.) with crackers to the side; a veggie tray with hummus; tortilla chips with guac and salsa; and a pasta salad with roasted veggies (parm on the side). I’d like at least a couple more things. I’ll have time to microwave but anything involving the oven is a no-go. Any more ideas?
dairy free mini quiches would work for #1 and #2
I make shakshuka when my gluten-free relative visits. I also bought GF wraps once and served fish tacos.
If you have an air fryer, frozen fries/hash browns/tots can be the basis for a ‘make your own fries’ station. Alternately, a simple potato salad would also work.
I’d also include some sweet options like fruit skewers/fruit salad and GF/vegetarian cookies or chocolates.
What should I wear to a daytime minor league baseball game with coworkers/execs in my company’s corporate box? It’s expected to be hot (the box is air conditioned, though we’d spend time outside to watch the game). I’ll come from work, though my office is fairly biz-cas.
I’m thinking a nice tee shirt. Jeans or ankle slacks? Sneakers or flats/loafers? A casual blazer?
It is very, very common for people to wear work clothes in these situations, and that’s what I would do. I’d opt for a midi skirt, short sleeved top, and either comfortable flats or dressier sneakers.
Denim can be a really hot fabric to wear in the sun. I’d go with ankle pants and any flat shoe. Maybe a jacket over something like a team or team colors tee or loose blouse? Bring a hat and sunglasses.
My go-to ourfit for this situation is a team t shirt (or casual-but-polished shirt in team color), white jeans or a color that complements aforementioned shirt, and casual, lightweight blazer.
Every time I’ve attended one of these, people have worn their work attire (planned strategically to be comfortable in the box – so comfy flats, a lightweight skirt, men in lightweight tech pants) or maybe switched their work top for a team shirt before heading to the game. Def not jeans if it’s going to be hot!
I wouldn’t wear a midi skirt to a baseball game – I’d go for a lightweight pant like the Wonderstretch ones or Spanx perfect pants
does anyone have these shoes? how do they run?
