A Favor: Please Nominate Corporette for the 2013 Weblog Awards
So: years and years ago, when I just started, I was fortunate enough to be nominated for a Bloggie award, in the “Best Kept Secret” category for 2009 — little did I realize that the Weblog Awards are kind of a big deal. (D’oh.) And *every year* since then, I totally forget when the nominations … Read More about A Favor: Please Nominate Corporette for the 2013 Weblog Awards
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Milano Rib Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This jacket looks a bit dowdy on screen, but 101 mostly glowing reviews tell me that it’s worth a shot.

Coffee Break – Long Skinny Leather Belt
Net-a-Porter is having a pretty big sale at the moment, with lots of stuff up to 70% off.
