Packing for a Fall Trip in Norway
This isn’t really a blog post. This is more of a “Poe Pat-on-the-Back” post because I really do believe I packed the most perfect suitcase for our recent trip to Norway and I just have to brag about it. (Plus, I’m obsessed with packing and packing hacks – including this one for how to fold…

Coronavirus Couture: In Defense of Quarantine Jeans
Hello fellow hunker downers, shut-ins, and just plain ol’ normal, work-from-home freelancers. I have a question: Why are we mad at pants? And by “we,” I mean collectively as a people and as a country. Is there some conspiracy theory floating around that pants are what caused the coronavirus? I’m not sure whether to believe…

Hair Accessories to Cover the Quarantine Grays (Inspired by Bravo)
As Leslie Jordan of Instagram fame would say: Hello, all you fellow hunker downers. (I know you’re already following him on Instagram. He’s got 3.5 million followers. But if you’re not, you should. His hot takes on quarantining are gold. Pure, Instagram gold.) So, it’s getting to be that time. No, not time to begin…

A Necessary Evil: Summer Sweaters
It’s mid-May and I am sitting in my home office, sipping hot tea, wearing fuzzy house slippers and a summer sweater over a button up shirt. That’s right: a summer sweater. Growing up in West Texas, I never understood the concept of a summer sweater. Sure, I’d see them all the time in catalogs like…

Friday Links: Old Pets with Norwegian Passports Flying in Restricted Airspaces Edition
Well played, Ellen and Portia. Well. Played. A male TV host wore the same suit every day for a year and no one noticed. I’ve conducted a similar experiment here at Poe Industries during this week’s artic asskicking. I’ve worn the same Uggs-yoga-pants-woolly-cardigan combo every day and so far, my co-worker and head of HR Petunia…

Friday Links: Sneaker-Wearing Spiders Like Female Bosses (and Fritos Chili Pizza)
Now that I’m working freelance from Poe Industries Worldwide Headquarters, my style needs have changed a bit (Jeans Day EVERYDAY). Plus, I’m coming up with a packing list for Italy and I know I’ll need to take my Pumas (cobblestones — WHY???). So this slideshow I found on Pinterest on cool sneakers and the outfits…

The Lashes May Be Mink, But the Faux Fur Drama Was Flying on Vanderpump Rules
There was some sort of really big thing going down here in Washington D.C. last night. Actually, it was a national event, full of backstabbing and upsets. It included a cast of familiar, soul-less characters who act like friends one minute, only to turn around and do something shady the next. There was even a…

Emmy’s Recap and a PSA from the CDC
I did not watch the Emmy’s Sunday night, but apparently, I missed a fashion shit show. My friend Katie started to tell me about it at work Monday morning but then, well, work got in the way. Finally, last night I was watching Fashion Police on E! and holy hot mess. Let’s just quickly recap:…

Don’t Be That Girl: Fall Fail
I know you can barely see her blurry image in the top right hand of this cell phone picture I snapped yesterday evening on my way home, but trust me on this: this girl in this picture is hella excited for fall. She’s got her green striped sweater on. She’s wrestled her way into a…
