A few years ago, I mounted a crusade against visible panty line.  Working women don’t always think about the smoothness of their rearview, and many types of full-seat underwear cause this unsightly fashion faux pas.  I was once afflicted with this terrible disease, but I never thought that I would be the kind of women […]

Last week, I wrote about how much I disliked the Dr. Jart Detoxifying Primer that I tried.  But even though the product may have been an epic fail, switching makeup, even if only for two weeks, caused me to take another look at my current routine.   A couple of days after switching back to […]

Last October, I published a packing list for cold weather travel.  Since then, I’ve had numerous requests for packing advice, specifically packing advice for warm weather work travel.  So here you go. Three Blouses: Dot-Chambray Blouse ($88), Featherweight Cardigan ($120), Naomi Blouse ($110) Pool Attire: AX Classic Sunglasses ($70), Madewell Flip-Flop ($50), End-on-End Tunic ($60), […]

Summer can wreak havoc on your clothes.  Dirt, sweat, grass stains and the like can permanently damage our wardrobe.  But they don’t have to. I’m a firm believer that women who love fashion must also love laundry.  Separating lights and darks, removing stains and hand washing are a pain, but they’re the only way to […]

Last week, I reached into the cabinet under my sink to grab my blowdryer.  Not realizing that the blowdryer was tangled up with the curling iron, I yanked from its hiding place with sizable force.  In doing so, I dropped the (cold) curling iron onto my foot.   If you’ve ever dropped a 1.5lb object […]

On Tuesday, I featured the sock bun.  But the truth is, that I’ve never worn a sock bun.  I prefer to create my buns with something I call the roll-and-pin method.  I searched like a mad women for a tutorial, and I was just about to give up my quest, when I spotted this side […]

  As busy, professional women, we tend to carry purses filled to overflowing with essentials.  While I try to pack light as often as possible, sometimes I just don’t have that option.  And nothing annoys me more than when I have to go spelunking in my cavernous purse looking for my keys, phone, breath mints, […]

Yesterday, we started a conversation about belts, which ones to buy and how to make them fit.  Today, we’re going to talk about how to wear them, more specifically, how to tie them.  Sure, you can just belt them like the manufacturer intended, but where is the fun in that? Knotting or tying your belt […]

I was blessed with a tiny natural waist.  So tiny that XS belts are often too big, and I was clueless about how to solve this problem until Jean at Extra Petite showed me the light.  This gnarly-looking contraption is a belt hole puncher.  It allows you to resize your belts yourself without damaging them.  […]
