Recently, a discussion sprang up in the comments of my favorite blog, Corporette. The question was: If you have a job with physical requirements, such as moving boxes, lifting things, standing on step-ladders, etc, is it still possible to dress professionally? I think it absolutely is possible. Are there challenges? Of course! Can you wear…
It has been very cold here at home lately, and all I want to do is snuggle up with some cozy sweaters. Macy’s is having a fantastic sale right now, with a lot of cute stuff up to 80% off. You can almost get one in every color! This adorable swing sweater is on sale…
I know that it’s been a month since I actually went to Chicago. That whole Christmas break thing got in the way of a timely post!! I had an amazing time in Chicago last month for my sister’s bachelorette party. We got facials, did yoga, had our hair done, ate delicious food, and went to…
My last trip of the year is a fun trip. I get to go to Chicago for my sister’s bachelorette party!! My big sister is getting married in a few weeks and we are celebrating her last days as a free-wheeling, care-free single lady. Or whatever. We are going to get facials, do yoga, and…

The many uses for these amazing scarf/blanket hybrids include as a scarf or blanket (of course), shawl, wrap, pillow, sarong, swimsuit cover up, nursing cover up….. the list goes on and…
Last week, I heard from a reader who needs some help finding a great suit for travel. I travel a lot for work to developing countries from Washington DC which means at least 20+ in transit. I’m having a hard time finding structured work clothes that don’t wrinkle and are washable. I’m trying to avoid…
Yesterday I went to Nashville for the day, and the trip started well enough. The security line was very short, and the people in my line were very efficient. My flight was on time, with an entertaining flight crew. The event went well, if a bit slowly. I met some great people and was feeling…
Recently, I received an email from a reader: “I recently started traveling for work on a weekly basis. The travel is mostly to northeast cities, such as NYC. I’m wondering if you have any suggestions as I am struggling with what to bring during the rainy and snowy months that won’t weigh down my luggage. Also,…
