Deal Alert: The ShopBop BigEvent Sale
2018 Update: Looking for our picks from the Shopbop Sale of 2018? Check them out right here.
I thought I'd take a quick swing through the ShopBop sale to see what's good, and there's a lot to like. Like I've mentioned before: this twice-yearly event is when Amazon’s sister site offers up to 25% off almost everything on site, including a ton of great basics like Ferragamo, Stuart Weitzman, Black Halo, Theory, Vince, LK Bennett, Rebecca Minkoff, Tory Burch, Hunter, DvF, Smythe, Rag & Bone, vintage Vuitton, and Michael Michael Kors’ Jet Set collection. (I particularly love their jewelry collection and their denim collection — both are always hip and interesting.) Another pro: it seems like there are a lot less exclusions than in previous years. The sale ends March 5.
In addition to the general suggestions above, here are a few individual picks for work and beyond:
If a non-custodial client is supposed to pay child support, but is unemployed, but is eligible for unemployment they are not collecting, can the court require them to collect unemployment? In Illinois. Thanks ladies.
by client I meant parent. Ugh. Nobody here is represented.
Okay I figured it out! (Turned out the question was completely different.)
Fancy schmancy wedding in Huntington, NY next weekend; high of 50*, low of 40* all weekend and I a looking to carry on only. What outerwear to wear?
Do you have a thick black trench or walking coat? Walking coats are easiest to transition from casual to dressy. Coupled with a thick cashmere wrap that should keep you comfortable for evenings. Wrap can be worn indoors like a sweater for any casual activities. Depending on style, could also possibly be brought to stay cozy at the wedding.
Do you have an opera coat? They can be very glamorous looking AND very warm.
I have this one in red and it’s gorgeous. I try to keep it on as long as possible because it’s so pretty. http://amzn.to/1LYlxyO
What are your options?
Sounds like there’s a good chance you won’t be outside much if at all – mostly dashing from hotel to car to wedding venue back to the car again. So you could probably get away with something lightweight.
Gahhh, a few options but none that emerge as the clear winner:
Burberry trench, classic khaki with warm zip-in liner
Vintage 1920s cape/wrap in black velvet
Longer (not quite knee length) walking cost in a salt and pepper fabric (looks grey from a distance but is black and white woven up close)
Shorter black or tan pea coat
…or bite the bullet and buy something.
I am planning to wear a super dark blue brocade dress with a lace jewel collar, fitted on top and flared out above the knee to the rehearsal and a rich green gown to the (early evening) wedding.
I’m a commercial/contract lawyer who is looking to try something new. My eventual goal is to work in house or serve as external general counsel to small/medium size businesses. I received an unexpected job offer in a regulatory agency yesterday. The work seems like it will be interesting, but I’m not sure if it will move me towards my goals.
Due to the limitations of my market, my options seem to be more interesting job at a regulator, that will give me diverse experience but less direct path to where I want to be, or uninteresting job at a firm, but it will probably be a more direct career path. Which one would you choose and why?
I just wanted to share something that I’m doing at work which is making me almost giddy with excitement– I’m responsible for the implementation of a software tool, and we’re in the test phase right now. I’m in the process of setting up some fake accounts to test the system, and I decided that all of our users are going to be Really Amazing Women. So far, I’ve got RBG, Madeleine Albright, Mae Jemison, Sheryl Sandberg, Tina Fey, Melinda Gates, Christine Lagarde, Indra Nooyi, Malala Yousafzai, Samantha Power, Ada Lovelace, Marie Curie. I work in a company with perhaps 10% women, and I am so looking forward to the confusion on everyone’s faces when they realize that none of these users are dudes. It’s the little things.
Love this!!!
