We’re liking this slouchy, cool tote from Linea Pelle today. We like it for its size (big enough for a pad of paper), as well as for the functionality — the pocket on the outside and the inside, the fact that you can wear it on your shoulder from any of the straps, the fun … Read More about Coffee Break: Linea Pelle Dylan Medium Tote
Today’s reader question comes from a lawyer in a small, private firm on the East Coast, who was told by her male boss that she dresses “too well.” What does it mean when someone says that?

We like this basic … Read More about Suit of the Week
Our look always used to include liquid eyeliner.
