It’s easy to get caught up in the idea of being ‘chosen’ for a job, but smart job seekers know that they’re not the only ones auditioning.  It’s just as important to search your potential employer for red flags.  Few things are as awful is when you great new job turns into a nightmare.

7) These CosRX pimple pads have virtually eliminated my blackheads.

8) The Best Looks from Bridal Fashion Week (because why not). (Marie Claire)

9) I think I need this photograph for my office. It’s so pretty and calming.

The Daily Ws.

What I’m Making for Dinner. Harvest Stew with Sausage.

What I’m Lusting After. This $$$ serum, I mean, if Victoria says it’s the best…

What I’m Watching. The Disappearance of Maura Murray. Totally addicted.

    Thanks so much for sharing. We’re flattered!

  3. SC says:

    I don’t like the color (or the material) on the Boss suit, but the detailing is truly amazing. It would look absolutely smashing in a charcoal gray with a sleeker zip.

    That Hugo Boss suit is AMAZING. Obsessed. Obsessed enough to walk over the the City Center store right now to see it.
