Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I have thus far bypassed the “super bright saturated color” lip trend of this summer, mostly because I’ve been too lazy to go to a Sephora and try stuff on, but the prices are so good at the Sephora sale that just started that I may just indulge online. … Read More about Weekend Open Thread
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. This is totally boring… but kind of perfect. I love the sleek look to this simple V-necked t-shirt from Halogen. I like the steep V, the tuck detailing at the neck and shoulder, and the fact that it’s slightly longer in the back. I’ve ordered the black, but … Read More about Weekend Open Thread
Admin / Tech / Ads
Hi guys – I saw some of the reader complaints re: audio ads late yesterday; my apologies to everyone for the audio interruption. The people who manage the ads on this site are all under strict instructions to never let audio ads in (and, my goodness, certainly not ads for things like KY jelly, whether audio … Read More about Admin / Tech / Ads
Coffee Break: Fulton Moccasin
Commenters were recommending this flat the other day, and I really like the look of its clean, neat lines. Zappos has it in a ton of fun colors right now, but Amazon has some nice deals on basic colors like this “luggage” leather (also in black leather and black suede). It was $99, but is … Read More about Coffee Break: Fulton Moccasin
Tech Problems
I know we’re having tech problems but I’m lacking information — is it mobile only? Can you identify which ad (or which ad spot)? Anyone who can send me screenshots and more information will win my undying affection. (I know of two potentially separate problems: Vindicosuite.com and a redirection to some app/game…. please fill me … Read More about Tech Problems

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Ashton Shirtdress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I normally do not like shirtdresses — they’re hard to look flattering, and a few years ago it seemed like retailers were purposely making them to look like you’d thrown on your boyfriend’s shirt, belted it, and left the house … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Ashton Shirtdress
Coffee Break: Majorie Pump
Sure, these shoes are a little bit boring… but sometimes you want a simple beige or black pump. The price is pretty good: they’re $70 at DSW. Tahari Majorie Pump
Any Tech Problems?
Hi guys — As mentioned earlier we made a big change behind the scenes — we moved servers. The database is large and takes several hours to copy, and then other steps in the process have taken days in the past, so I kind of expected we’d just lose the entire weekend thread — but … Read More about Any Tech Problems?
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Gathered Print Sheath Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. In the “around $100” category for dresses, I’ve always had good luck with Donna Morgan dresses — they’re fitted but not skin tight, and they’ve always been good for my curves. This colorful sheath dress looks like a fun addition … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Gathered Print Sheath Dress
