Yes, it’s hot.  Yes, it’s time for August vacations and pool time and the last rays of sun.  But fall is coming, and it’s time to start thinking about which pieces can be worn now or later.  So when I spotted an amazing cashmere tee at Quince, I had to share.

I’m currently on my first real work trip in several years, and it is wild being back.  Last week, I wrote about the five products that I need to bring on work trips, and there were so many great suggestions in the comments, I decided to expand the post (and my own shopping list).  Here’s […]

For years, I slept in boy shorts and a t-shirt.  I changed my ways after a weekend trip with my best friend who convinced me that a comfortable, chic pair of pajamas was like a gift you give yourself at the end of the day.  Now, I wear nothing to bed but jersey pajamas.  Here […]

From work bags to attire for a conference in Florida, this week’s mailbag was full of good questions.  So let’s get started!

Next week, I’m headed to Salt Lake City for my first work trip.  As I prepare for five days on the road, I’m stocking up on the tools and products that I will need to survive the first of many weeks spent in a hotel.  Here’s what I’m bringing to make sure I show up […]
