Coffee Break: How Do You Tell Your Co-Workers to Keep Their Hands to Themselves?
My daughter's in kindergarten, and you'd be surprised, but personal distance is one of the first things taught to kindergartners. When she came back home the other day with a note from her teacher that she should try and "keep her hands to herself", it made me smile...
Week-End Pick: Moto Jacket
Moto jackets are great for the Fall, and I'm loving this Cusp by Neiman Marcus faux-leather combo moto jacket. The double-layered notched lapels are super stylish, and the asymmetric zip front adds a great touch of biker chic. The fitted silhouette is also very...

Coffee Break: Is It OK to Tell White Lies at Work?
Sooo we'd all agree that honesty is the best policy. Yet, at work, where many times we tend to wear the professional mask and wonder if we can truly be ourselves, do most people consider it's the best policy? Or rather, is a little fib here and there necessary to...
