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 will … Read More about Suit of the Week: Theory “Wool Crunch” Suit
Open Thread: The Best Notebooks
When we talked about the best pens a few weeks ago (which I’m still in the process of trying out — many of the ones mentioned by the readers were subsequently sent to me by Jet Pens, so thank you! — others I’ve bought myself) some of the readers noted that we should also talk … Read More about Open Thread: The Best Notebooks

Won’t you please, won’t you please, won’t you please take my reader survey?

Coffee Break: Belize Lily Mirror Credit Card Case
While I lurve this credit card case, I must admit that I’d probably use it for business cards rather than credit cards (since I prefer that magnetized cards get their own slots, but maybe that’s just me). Love the large print and the mirror inside. Unfortunately, the blue one pictured is nearly sold out at … Read More about Coffee Break: Belize Lily Mirror Credit Card Case
