On this site we have talked about the difficulties female lawyers face when it comes to dressing for work. Kat Griffin, founder of Corporette.com, a site that advises professional women on how to dress told The Grindstone:
“Lawyers in particular have to adhere to conservative rules for clothes, primarily because they are very rarely speaking for themselves. If a judge or jury hates you, you want it to be because they heard and considered your client’s argument… not becase your clothing conveyed a lack of respect, or offended them in some other manner.”

What can’t Kim Stolz do? First she was one of the finalists on America’s Next Top Model (Cycle 5), then she had a long-running gig as an MTV anchor (back when the entire network wasn’t devoted to teen pregnancy) and then in August we reported that she had returned to her business roots with a gig in equity derivative sales at Citigroup. And now she has launched The Dalloway, in SoHo, Manhattan, with Amanda Leigh Dunn of The Real L Word in a bid to create ‘a venue with a strong female team that is open to everyone’. More
Tory Burch has been in the news a lot lately. Some if it has been about the rapid success of her company and its rumored IPO. But a lot of it has been because of her very personal and public legal battle with her ex-husband, Chris Burch, and his business venture, C.Wonder. But we have been fans of Tory since the beginning not only because of her stunning designs but because of her entrepreneurial spirit, her strong desire to help other women and the fact that she has built an internationally recognized $2 billion brand in eight short years. How does she do it?! Well, here are some lessons from Tory you can start with. More
Well, when I need fashion inspiration I often turn to one of my favorite fashion blogs, MyStylePill.coml, created by Christine Cameron.

But how does one turn a passion for fashion into a profitable blog that has major brands like Coach and Steve Madden working with her? We talked with Christine about how she made My Style Pill her career. More

I have written on this site before that I do not deal with stress well. And by well, I mean my body takes the stress manifested in my mind and physically uses it to attack me. I get rashes, horrible acid reflux, sometimes my hair falls out, my eyes do weird things and of course, there was that time I got shingles. And if I am not physically getting sick I am often ripping hang nails off my fingers to a disturbing point. I’ve been told to go to yoga, see a shrink, run more (my mother), go to Pilates, eat healthier (my mother), drink more water, stop eating candy (again, my mother) and many other things. I’ve probably only tried half. But the thing that helped me the most, believe it or not, was meeting a 3 pound Yorkshire Terrier puppy who would come to be known as Otis. More

We have written about the pros and cons of wearing high heels at work on this site many times. According to a new report, it seems that one group is very firmly set against flats. So much so that they are willing to cut off part of their foot to wear their heels more comfortably. There is a growing trend for women to have what’s being called “stiletto surgery” or having their feet surgically altered to be able to wear fashionable shoes more comfortably. More
I never thought of Emily Dickinson as CEO material what with all the weeping flowers and depression, but according to a new Harvard Business Review article, she may have been perfect.
