1) Why male mentors should challenge their female mentees. (HBR)

2) I am really loving the slate grey of this Giada satchel for summer.

3) The place where letters sent to Hillary Clinton go. (Buzzfeed)

4) Pearl accents are on-trend: these Stuart Weitzman heels and these Aldo mules.

5) Single employees aren’t there to pick up the slack for married ones. (Quartz)

6) This tie-sleeve blouse and orange fan-leaf skirt are perfect for the summer office.

7) They quit their jobs to travel the world, how they pay for it. (Marie Claire)

8) New Obsession: Tassel trim, like this Max Mara top and this Cooper & Ella dress.

9) Why valedictorians don’t often become millionaires. (CNBC)

10) This crossover ring and Maddy ring are total David Yurman knock-offs.

11) How to easily wash your clothes when you’re on the road. (Racked)

12) These white, distressed Frame jeans are hot, but these $59 jeans are also fab.

13) Questions to ask before you hire a financial advisor. (Oprah)

    Belle! I love the quote today, and it’s especially appropriate because I started my own work style blog yesterday! You’ve been such an inspiration to me (I was so excited to go to your event in DC last week but couldn’t due to a last-minute work trip), and I wanted to thank you. I hope you’ll check out my blog sometime (it probably be more interesting once I have more content, haha); I’d love to hear what you think.

    Thanks again, and keep up the great work. I hope to meet you in DC someday!

    Re #5- some companies offer benefits to employees’ families/close friends that aren’t tied to marital status, which is a good step. A longtime friend works for JetBlue, and he’s able to give a major benefit (flying standby on the airline for free) to any designated individual for any amount of time he’s still full-time with the company. This was immensely helpful to his now-widowed mom and younger brother.

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.

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 […]
