Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I came across these shoes while randomly trolling around Zappos, and they totally make me drool. First, Ferragamo is always a brand that is mentioned when we talk about comfortable heels, but the brand is sometimes lacking in a bit of — oomph, perhaps.

Reader A has a question about truth in advertising… and how to tell a prospective employer that you’ve been laid off.

The Type A Guide to Moving (Our Best Moving Tips!)
I’ve moved far too many times, particularly in my early 20s when I was interning a lot. (My record is 8 different addresses between April 1997 and April 1999, not even counting 2-week “pitstops” at my parents’ house to unpack everything I needed while interning and repack everything I needed for college.) Things have settled … Read More about The Type A Guide to Moving (Our Best Moving Tips!)
