Business Casual Makeover: Stealing Miss India’s Sultry Look

By Huma Rashid Last week, I posted a challenge originally posed by one of my friends who reads my blog.

Business Casual Superstar: Styling a Dress as a Tunic

Remember the good old days, about 3-5 years ago, when all the supermodels and actresses were wearing dresses 5″ above the knee and it was super racy and scandalous? Those standards seem downright Puritan right about now. [...]

From the Classroom to the Cubicle: Running (Not In) Heels!
