1) Whose side are you on? Meet the women who hate feminism. (The Walrus)

2) New in the under-$125 work-bag game: this gorgeous Calvin Klein tote, and this Kate Landry satchel.

3) Self-promoters go a long way in life; and how to know when you should brag, and when you should keep quiet. (The Herald Sun; Quartz)

4) Finally cracked and bought the Nike blush sneakers. Sometimes, I’m so basic it hurts.

5) Listen to the complete guide to the Electoral College.  (The Takeaway Podcast)

6) This Reiss dress with velvet panels and statement sleeves goes beyond the LBD.  And this green, one shoulder dress from Whistles is perfect for a holiday party or a summer wedding.

7) Why don’t more powerful women paint their nails like UK PM Theresa May does? (Financial Times)

8) Love red lips?  Then, you need to try this Kevyn Aucoin Femme Fatale Lip Kit.

9) What to do when pregnancy makes you question your career decisions. (Forbes)

10) I used to think it was kitschy, but the Comme des Garcons heart logo has grown on me.  I’m thinking about buying one of their shirts, maybe this striped tee or this simple button-up.

    I really worry about the internalized misogyny in this country.

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.
