We recently got a reader question wondering how to use a personal assistant (and how to find a good personal assistant!), so let’s discuss. Here’s the question … Read More about How to Use a Personal Assistant

Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Half-Sleeve Fit-and-Flare Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This really cute dress from Lafayette 148 New York comes in a number of colors, although the “delft,” a sort of navy gray, has the most sizes left. It’s a flattering, easy-to-wear, fit-and-flare dress that’s also very elegant and sophisticated, and I … Read More about Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Half-Sleeve Fit-and-Flare Dress
Coffee Break: Pyramid Spike Y-Necklace
If you’re looking for a long but delicate necklace to wear with tops, do consider this pretty “spike” necklace — not only is it only $38, but it’s got a number of positive reviews about how easy it is to wear at Nordstrom, and at BaubleBar they’ve declared it a “BB Essental.” Sadly, it only comes … Read More about Coffee Break: Pyramid Spike Y-Necklace
Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Bianca Blouse
This is my first time noticing this blouse, but it must be one of L’Agence’s stalwarts because, upon search, it turns up in a ZILLION different colors, some on sale for as low as $149 (but in mostly lucky sizes only). For sale versions, check Barney’s Warehouse, The Outnet, Saks OFF5TH — and for full-price options … Read More about Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Bianca Blouse
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. It feels like it should be spring, and it should be warm, and so if you’re a bit bummed that you can’t wear slinkier tops for going out this weekend, and if you don’t even want to think about cold shoulder tops, this kind of cutout seems like a fun, … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Flutter Cuff Tee
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I think this top from Loft has a cute and interesting take on the bell sleeve / flutter sleeve trend that’s everywhere right now. It’s highly rated and comes in sizes XXS-XL in regular and petite, in black and maraschino … Read More about Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Flutter Cuff Tee
Coffee Break: ‘Lille’ d’Orsay Pump
These gorgeous Diane von Furstenberg pumps really called to me — I love the pointy toe, the stiletto heel, and the very sculptural topline, as it’s called. For my pale legs, this sort of powdery pink is the perfect color if I want nude-for-me pumps. We’ll be doing our yearly roundup of nude-for-you pumps soon, so stay tuned. (In … Read More about Coffee Break: ‘Lille’ d’Orsay Pump
Thursday’s Workwear Report: Open Front Jacket
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I believe this Halogen stretch crepe jacket has been around for a few years now, and it always gets good reviews and comes back in different colors. It’s available in regular sizes XS-XL and petite sizes XXS-XL, and it comes in several … Read More about Thursday’s Workwear Report: Open Front Jacket
Suit of the Week: Alexander McQueen
For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning. In general, this feature is not about interview suits for women, which should be as classic and basic as you get — instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional. I love … Read More about Suit of the Week: Alexander McQueen

Workwear Hall of Fame: Martha Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This Boden dress looks like a great ladylike sheath dress — sort of Audrey Hepburn–inspired, with a wide roll collar. It’s fully lined with a hidden back zip. It comes in solid black and navy, but I really like this green pattern. … Read More about Workwear Hall of Fame: Martha Dress
