The (Last) Case of the Mondays

Tomorrow is my very last Monday as a corporate lawyer!  I can't believe the last week is finally here.  To bring in the week (and ring out my legal career), I present the most beautiful work dress I've seen in a very long time.  It's definitely a splurge, but oh - so - pretty.

Giambattista Valli Printed Dress (2995.00)

Quitting Polish

Hello Professionelles!  So much to catch up on.  A week or so ago I gave notice at my law firm.  I'll still be able to call myself a Professionelle, however, because I'm starting my own lingerie company.  More details to follow in the next few months, but needless to say, I'm super excited.  I have a few posts coming up about some awesome female entrepreneurs, but for today, I bring you some quitting polish.  Nail polish that is.

This is O.P.I.'s Lincoln Park After Dark in Matte with a stripe of Seche Vite.  I went to Spa Butterfly today to try to get this manicure but they didn't have the matte polish.  Instead, I got the regular Lincoln Park After Dark with a stripe of Black Licorice by Essie.  The effect wasn't quite the same (it looks more like an ombre), but it still feels like the manicure of someone who just quit her job.  Yet, it's still fairly office appropriate.

For those of you who are curious, I'm writing a new blog detailing my life in lingerie.  Quitters are Winners.  It's password protected for the moment, but if you'd like access, please email me at professionelle.blog@gmail.com.

Edie Parker Clutches

I wish I had discovered these in time for New Year's eve.  Jen (who patiently shopped for clutches with me last Spring) can tell you that I am the pickiest person ever when it comes to evening bags, but I am absolutely head over heels for these Edie Parker pieces.  Structured and vintage-inspired with a prolific use of mica and pearlescent.  Stunning.
