I’ve always thought men had it much easier when it came to professional clothing. Suit, shirt, tie… done. Sure, perhaps more casual work wardrobes can add a bit of a snag. It might be tough to understand which types of slacks work for which occasion. Or how to mix a sports coat or sweater into…
True confession time – I’m afraid I may be an overpacker. Don’t get me wrong… I’m not one of those people who hauls three suitcases (one full of shoes) with me on a weekend trip. Although I try not to judge people who do that (AKA many of my friends who don’t travel frequently). But…
It didn’t take long for the relaxing glow of vacation to wear off – I dove right back in headfirst a week ago. I luckily had a recovery plan in place but the pace has been as busy as ever (probably not helped by a voluntary segment run this past weekend)! But now I’m in that mode…
It’s time for the November battle of the beauty sample subscriptions. Each month, Birchbox goes head to head with Ipsy to see which delivered more value and wow. Both services offer a monthly $10 membership where subscribers receive a selection of beauty product samples that is customized (somewhat) based on personal preferences. Birchbox comes in its namesake…
I’m late. I’m late for this very important date. It’s my monthly square off of the beauty samplers. Both services offer a monthly $10 membership where subscribers receive a selection of beauty product samples that is customized (somewhat) based on personal preferences. Birchbox comes in its namesake box while Ipsy’s Glam Bag is a limited edition cosmetic…
November is usually the turning point when I begin to think beyond all the cute fall items I’ve purchased and what outfits I can create. Instead, as the days turn colder (and especially on the weekends), my mind turns to comfort. Hilliary Latham recently had a great piece on five items to steal from your…
Nothing can get a group of frequent business travelers more excited than talking about luggage. And nothing gets this jetsetting diva more excited than Tumi luggage. Unless it’s Tumi luggage ON SALE. Let me catch my breath from the jumping up and down I’ve been doing for the past few minutes. Gilt.com has my favorite luggage…
The signature Stitch Fix style profile just got a facelift. Over the past few weeks, the company has updated some of their questions and rejuvenated the photo selections for customers. I stumbled upon this accidentally while checking on the schedule for my next box, so if you have a Stitch Fix style profile saved already…
I love to accessorize. And I hate to pack accessories for a trip because I love to have a great look for every outfit without hauling tons of options with me. I tried being the “simple” gal who just packed a classic necklace and a couple of earrings, but that’s just NOT me. I like…
Stitch Fix is an online personal shopping service that allows women to set customized preferences for new additions to their wardrobe. I am a monthly subscriber so each month brings a new surprise. And OH what a difference a month can make! Here’s how it works: You fill out a detailed profile online. A stylist…
This gem has been popping up on my social media feeds this afternoon and is too funny not to share. It seems that a couple of Sydney-bound passengers decided to go the wearable carry-on route to avoid paying excess baggage fees. Read the rest here. What do you think? The craziest thing I’ve done domestically…
“You need to learn now to pack… you’re carrying too much stuff. You’re doing it all wrong.” That’s the unsolicited advice of the man in the seat next to me in the Charlotte airport. He seems offended, possibly because when he moved his barstool to sit down, my rollaboard (with my tote perched upon it…
