1) Instead of being above “the game,” should we start advising women to play the game to get ahead? (HuffPost)

2) These laser-cut Nine West pointed-toe flats are a great option for work.  These 14th and Union ankle strap pumps also caught my eye.  Good buys for $50.

3) To seem competent, women must be seen as both confident and warm. Ridiculous. (HBR)

4) Want to try the Luna cleansing devices for less?  The Luna Play costs $39 and has 100 uses, so you can test drive the device before deciding to upgrade.

5) Negotiate salary based on what you contribute, not who you are. (Lifehacker)

6) Antonio Melani makes the prettiest work dresses.  Don’t miss this two-tone blue peplum dress, and this green ponte dress looks super slimming,

7) How to accomplish the impossible task of slashing costs and maintaining morale. (Fast Company)

8) Burberry’s leather notebook case is lust-worthy for paper-loving gals.  For something a bit more affordable, try the Graphic Image leather notebooks.

9) Realistic ways to avoid office drama without being a goody-two-shoes. (The Muse)

10) LOFT is having a 50%-off sale.  I picked up this printed cap sleeve blouse and this short sleeve, cotton cardigan to round out my summer wardrobe.

11) Twitter waited too long to address its devolution into troll-dom.  After what Leslie Jones endured on the platform, they closed the account of the primary aggressor, but it’s too late.  (The New York Times)

      It’s a bit of a mess, as I didn’t prep posts this weekend. I am trying to get back on track today and tomorrow. I appreciate the patience, my life got less busy and I got less motivated, which is not how I was expecting things to go.

Happy Hour: Atlantic Beach Pie

There are two kinds of people in this world: People who eat cake on their birthdays and people who don’t.  And some of the weirdos in the latter category (I said what I said) eat pie as an alternative.  So if you’re a “birthday pie” eater with a late summer celebration coming up, may I […]

The 2010s Trends I’m Loving and Leaving Behind

Our tween and teen nieces spent the first half of 2023 reviving our high school fashions.  From peasant tops to low rises, I felt like I was back bopping to N’SYNC in my mint-green sedan for a minute.  Now, our 20-something direct reports are bringing back the 2010s in a big way, and I am […]

The Find: Bright and Striped

For the past few years, the wardrobes of many influencers have tilted toward the beige and boring.  I’m all for a good basic, but staple pieces can only take you so far.  Sometimes, you need to wear something that has a little something extra, and this sale-priced tee certainly does.
