So, let’s get the backstory straight. I was hanging out with my Life Coach, Jen. Jen is actually not my life coach, but she insists on being called that. She’s a couple years older than me, and used to teach at the small Islamic school I went to. In fact, she was my little brother’s [...]

I’m also a big fan of BzzAgent, which is a word of mouth service that you sign up for. Basically, you get invited to campaigns based on your profile, you get sent a bunch of free stuff, and you try it out and post reviews and such. And just today, I got my BzzAgent Garnier [...]
Business Casual Superstar #493: Another adorable skirt
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged General on March 20, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Yesterday, I built an entire ensemble around a skirt I really liked. That skirt had birds on it. I don’t like birds, but somehow, things worked out. (I mean, like, people who put their little parakeets on their fingers and then kiss their beaks and their heads – I don’t get that. But then again, [...]
Business Casual Superstar #492: A Bright, Bold Skirt!
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged General on March 19, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Like many of you, I’m sure, I’m quite a fan of ModCloth. Their items can be rather pricey for my budget (in real life and the $100 budget I limit myself to for these posts) so it’s not that often that I buy something from there. However, I do keep an eye on the sale [...]

As most of you know, I’ve been on hiatus since late 2011 because of the Bar exam. I’ll be taking it for the first time in February, and I’m terrified. But that’s neither here nor there. I’ve put the blog mostly on hold, but I’ll be back after the Barzam (early March-ish?) with hopefully a [...]
Business Casual Superstar #490: OMGah: “Wrap Up With A Good Book” Scarf!
Posted in Better Read Than Dead, Business Casual Superstar, tagged OMGah on December 21, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Yes, I am expanding the category of “OMGah That Dress” to include things that are not dresses, per se, and are actually available for purchase. Allow me to offer up a scarf that any fan of classic, nineteenth century British literature is SURE to love: the “wrap up with a good book scarf!” It’s probably [...]
Business Casual Superstar #489: Hermes Limited Edition Sarees … Yeah, No.

Observe, mortals. These are the new limited edition sarees from Hermes. :| Yeah, no. These are not sarees. These are abominations. (And yes, this is filed under OMGah That Dress in a very bad sense of OMGah.)
Business Casual Superstar #488: A Totally Romantic Skirt
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged General on December 8, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Generally, I am of the opinion that when it comes to what you wear to work, “romantic” should not be one of the words used to describe your outfit. “Pretty,” yes. “Delicate,” sure. “Feminine,” no reason why not. But “romantic?” Yeah, um, no. However, I totally have to make an exception for the gorgeous skirt [...]
Business Casual Superstar #487: A Classic Sweaterdress Outfit Inspired By Emma Stone
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged Celebrity Style on December 5, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Sweaterdresses are awesome. They make for a great, simple, comfortable look that is absolutely perfect for this time of year. Plus, a sweaterdress with a nice bag and nice shoes and not much else makes a great statement. That’s what I had in mind for today’s look, which is inspired by Emma Stone. And here [...]
OMGah That Dress: Everything about this McQueen is unbelievable
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged OMGah on December 4, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
You guys, I can’t even. Just … just see for yourself. I ADORE the color combination: the dusky, rosy pink oatmeal? The deep, rich crimson? YES PLEASE. I love the built-in shrug. Delicate and pretty and demure. The printed border is reminiscent of Indian saris, and so intricate and pretty, while the overall look of [...]
