(As someone who was told it might be appropriate to bill a client if you thought about the case in the shower, these don't seem that shocking to me.)

The jeweled sweater I bought from LOFT for $25 on sale is spot on for the Refinery 21’s sweater (on the third outfit) – Kaliko Grey Drop Bead Jumper, $110, available at House of Fraser.

Thanks for posting that Atlantic article on drinking Kat! You were right – it’s sobering, especially since I often grab a glass of wine as soon as I walk in the door in the evenings to unwind…

I also appreciated it. I have a friend who stopped drinking completely years ago and she just recently told me that it was because she had a similar realization–after drinking wine through a whole business meeting, losing track of the glasses/bottles, and throwing up while everyone was still sitting around talking. She says no one said anything at the time, but she realized she’d become dependent.
The article is also very effective at showing how this comes to be and why the topic can be so sensitive. (Discussions here have certainly demonstrated the latter too.)

I also found it spot on. I might read the whole book.

I really enjoyed the Levo League article. The suggestions were things I could actually do and fairly realistic in their ultimate goal. Not a “fix-all” solution, but helpful suggestions.
