We haven’t had a discussion on how to stay fit in winter (or fitness in general!) in far too long, so let’s discuss today. Here are the questions: what do you do to stay fit in the winter? If you go outside the house (running, gym, etc) do you have a backup that you do … Read More about How to Stay Fit in Winter: Snow Days, Resolutions, and Other Fun

Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Tweed Fringe Jacket
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. What a great tweed and fringe jacket this is! I’m kind of surprised that a) I can’t find it at any of the many other places that carry Nic & Zoe (Amazon, Pendleton, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor)… and b) … Read More about Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Tweed Fringe Jacket
Coffee Break: Soutache Wide Stretch Belt

Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Boat-Neck 3/4-Sleeve Sheath Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Le sigh: I always love Roland Mouret’s tailored, architectural dresses. This light pink masterpiece is gorgeous, and I could see it working in any number of situations, from work to events and beyond. I particularly love the zig-zag seaming in … Read More about Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Boat-Neck 3/4-Sleeve Sheath Dress
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. After my ACL tear and knee surgery a year or two ago, one of my main goals has become “not falling.” (Yes, I’m like a 80 year old, thankyouverymuch — two multi-week stints on crutches will do that to you!) In any event, I bought Sorels that … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Ponte I Line 3/4 Sleeve Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Here’s a question for you: can a good dress for work be found for under $50? This long-sleeved ponte dress at Uniqlo, for example, is totally uninspiring on the model, but in the store I would easily pick this up … Read More about Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Ponte I Line 3/4 Sleeve Dress
Coffee Break: Brooke Leather Hobo
So here’s a brand that is new to me: Annabel Ingall, apparently out of Australia. The leather looks nice and soft, the bags look roomy, and I kind of like the more unusual colors (because of course I do). This mossy green isn’t my usual vibe at all, but I do love this shade of … Read More about Coffee Break: Brooke Leather Hobo

Thursday’s Workwear Report: Jacquard Knit Fit & Flare Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Stay warm outside, readers! Considering all the crazy weather I was half-tempted to post something silly — a huge down-filled sleeping bag coat, or perhaps an evening gown for lounging around the house, as you do — but instead let’s … Read More about Thursday’s Workwear Report: Jacquard Knit Fit & Flare Dress
Suit of the Week: Veronica Beard
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’ve been … Read More about Suit of the Week: Veronica Beard
