I live in Chicago, folks, and it gets COLD here. Cold as a witch’s tit in a brass bra. (Hahaha, I just wanted to be able to use that phrase. Isn’t it weird and hilarious?!) Anyway, during three years of law school, I had to walk a little less than a mile from the train [...]

Business Casual Superstar #470: Warm Fall/Winter Boots

An absolutely incredible book about an absolutely terrible event
Posted in Better Read Than Dead on September 28, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Columbine by Dave Cullen My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was an amazing, exhausting, devastating, engaging depiction of the events at Columbine, and, more importantly, an intimate character sketch of all involved: Dylan and Eric, their parents, their friends, the victims, the survivors, their parents, the community, the administration, law enforcement working on the [...]
Business Casual Superstar #469: Olivia Munn can’t do anything right
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged Celebrity Style, Makeover on September 28, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Olivia Munn is the worst addition to the Daily Show with Jon Stewart in … well, ever. She’s just.not.funny. And worse than that, she just comes off kind of … dumb. And yet she’s always giving interviews about how women can be funny, smart, AND pretty. Note to Olivia: you are only one of those [...]
Business Casual Superstar #468: A Favorite Fall Outfit
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged General on September 27, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I don’t really wear leggings. I’m not a fan. I have some but I usually wear them under my jeans when it’s really cold – like, -10F. Then I’ll pull some on. But every normal person seems to love leggings, so today’s outfit is a great ensemble for fall that includes, spoiler alert, leggings. It’s [...]

Business Casual Superstar #466: Free Shipping at Forever21 for orders over $21!
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged Sales and Coupons on September 26, 2011 | 2 Comments »
I have to admit, I love Forever21 when it comes to comfy basics. During the summer months, half my t-shirts are from there. They’re just so comfortable and 100%-cottony and not skin-tight. And when fall starts, I’ll occasionally grab a long sleeved tee or two from there – for the same reasons. The prices are [...]
Business Casual Superstar #465: 20% off sweaters at Victoria’s Secret! Plus, free shipping!

Oy with the exclamation marks already. As you may have already gleaned from psychic whisperings about the universe, Victoria’s Secret is offering 20% off on all its sweaters. This most likely means that they slightly marked up a bunch of sweaters and then took off 20%. “Took off.” Still. It’s a sweater sale. I remember [...]

Business Casual Superstar #463: 15% Off and Free Shipping at Old Navy!
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged Maternity Wear, Sales and Coupons on September 21, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Old Navy is a great place for business casual staples, as well as just plain comfy clothes. Oh, and flip-flops. Who doesn’t love their flip-flops? Cheap and durable and easily discarded, which is great because I eschew shoes during the summer. I also refuse to sweep the driveway free of pine needles and pebbles and [...]
