Coffee Break: Gerlinda Pump
Is it time for fall yet? I am so ready for deep burgundies and other jewel tones, cardigans and blazers, and fall jackets. (I even think I’ve found my perfect dark lip for evening!) These burgundy suede shootie/pumps look gorgeous — and they’re only $119. They also come in a gorgeous “canapa” beige suede, as … Read More about Coffee Break: Gerlinda Pump
Colorful Suits and the Working Woman
Are colorful suits appropriate for the working woman? Are any colors off limits, such as baby blue?

Coffee Break: Taylor Headphones
I got a pair of Frends headphones with BaubleBar credits a while ago, and am surprised by how much I really like them. The sound quality is good, although I’m not terribly picky about that, and in addition to the stylishness and sheer prettiness of the headphones, one of my favorite features is the cord. This … Read More about Coffee Break: Taylor Headphones

Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here.

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

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
