***

1) Majority of male commandos opposed to women joining Special Ops. (Jezebel)

2) Gems from ASOS include this crochet sweater, an oversized funnel0neck coat, and this tulle and lace party dress.  For plus-size ladies, try this cool wiggle dress.

3) “I’ll never be my wife’s equal, and that’s fine.” When partnership means being second best. (Medium)

4) Looking for cool jewelry for under-$100?  You need Jules Smith.  Her crisscross ring is one of the coolest pieces I’ve seen all year.

5) The Hater’s Guide to the Williams Sonoma catalog is also great for a laugh.  Their beehive cheese platter is the perfect appetizer for parties.

6) LOFT has 40%-0ff everything as does sister company Ann Taylor.  I picked up this pretty-pink pleated skirt and this super cozy open cardigan.

7) End of the year money moves to help boost your net worth. (Levo/Learnvest)

8) These M.Gemi bow sandals are the perfect holiday heels.  (They look like presents.)  I also like these burgundy velvet knock-offs from ASOS.

9) The government will ban soaps and other products containing microbeads.  (Guardian)

10) From pricey to expensive, Nordstrom has a huge selection of cashmere clothes and accessories..  But if you’re looking for mid-price, good quality basics, you need to go to Bloomingdale’s.

11) Productive things you can do while job-hunting. (The Everygirl)

Gift Guide. Slippers, the gift you never wanted as a child, but you’ll love as an adult.  Now that hardwood floors are back in vogue, they’re a great present.

These Ugg (yes, I said, Ugg) slippers look luxurious–and they come in 11 colors. For something unique, I love these knee-high, knit slipper socks.

November AMA: You Asked, I Answered

Another month has come and gone, and between a busy work schedule, illness and the search for new childcare, I almost forgot to ask for questions for the AMA.  Luckily, I remembered late last night.  So here we go.

Gift Guide 2023: Stocking Stuffers, Pt. 1

I love stocking stuffers.  They are the best part of Christmas.  There’s just nothing quite like an affordable gift that’s funny or useful or chic (or maybe all three).  So here is Part One of my stocking stuffer gift guides, where nothing costs more than $30.

You Have, You Need: Camel Sweater Edition

In the name of fiscal responsibility, I’m taking a shopping respite through the end of the year.  When you write a fashion blog, not shopping is like being a person on a diet who moves into a McDonald’s.  But I’m determined to flex some self-discipline now that my holiday shopping is done.

Add to Cart: Five Recent Amazon Purchases

Since my daughter was born, Amazon has claimed so much of my money that I had to buy stock just to get some of it back.  Between the formula, onesies, fruit pouches, diapers, wipes, and ever evolving list of baby development gear, I could not survive without Prime.   My husband no longer notices the […]
