Office attire can be tricky business. Nowadays most work environments are pretty casual, which can be good and bad. With the freedom of being able to dress casual, comes the responsibility of being able to maintain a professional work environment.

I am a true believer that everything is not for everybody and that certain things are best left at home. Do your coworkers really need to see all of your non work related "business" in a mini skirt, plunging neckline, or pants that are too tight? Not only does it look unprofessional it borders on inappropriate. Wearing a t-shirt that says "Baby Mama" or "I Love Beer" is not only immature it is tacky and shouldnt be worn at all in public, much less your job.

Have you seen one of your office mates wear something that you felt would be better suited for the athletic or night club? Or are you guilty of one of our office malfunctions? Let us know what you think.

Is it fair to have to certain trends for certain ages? We felt that some trends are just not suitable for women who are over 40. Does a 50 year old woman really need to wear "Key West" or anything else for that matter, across her backside?

Let us know if you think that certain trends are only OK for certain ages or if we should all just toss the rules of fashion out the window and wear what you want to wear... no matter how old you are.

This has been a very controversial topic in my own home. My husband and I just celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary and I have been planting the seed that when our 10th anniversary rolls around, I want a new ring.

We got engaged 8 years ago and while I do like my ring, I am ready for something different and more in line with who I am today. Although my husband did pick out my ring, even his tastes have evolved. He went from a fun loving beach bum to an ambitious guy who is a great husband and father. He traded in wild motorcycle riding days for road trips in our minivan.

He is of the mind set that a wedding ring, should not be viewed as costume jewelry and that it has sentimental history attached and that it is nice to look at the ring and see how far we have come and how far we can go.

Blah Blah Blah. My feeling is that a ring is just jewelry and not a true testament of our marriage, so there is nothing wrong with getting a new one. I think that upgrading your ring, is a nice way to celebrate your anniversary.

I have 4 more years to state my case and defend it, I will let you guys know in 2012 what the verdict is.

What do you think? Is it OK to upgrade your wedding ring?

I have a major shoe crush. The Tory Burch Reva flat makes me giddy. I mean seriously. I have been admiring this shoe from afar for the past year. Initially when they burst on the scene I dismissed them --- thinking that they were overpriced shoes for the high society set but I cant seem to shake them. They are like skittles for your feet, they come in delicious colors like Orchard Pink, Banana Yellow and Grass Green, as well as super practical colors like Brown, Black and Navy. The gold TB logo takes them from mundane to uber sleek.

Okay they are a tad on the pricey side ($195) but they are super comfortable and can be worn with anything from wide leg jeans to skinny jeans (sorry but I think that these are going to be around for a while.)

And did I mention they even come in pint sizes for your mini me, at a "mere" $95 daughters and mommies can be equally sassy.

I am seriously considering indulging. Just need to be able to explain who Tory is to my husband. Maybe I can convince him that she is an out of network doctor from our insurance company.

Teeth whitening is BIG business. A few years ago the only way you could ensure white teeth was to drop a few hundred dollars at your dentist's office and promise to drink your coffee through a straw.

I have been searching for a functional (yet fashionable) winter jacket forever. As a mom, I was tired of being wet (getting the kids in and out of the car when it was raining) and cold (waiting on said kids to hurry up while enjoying nature on a 30 degree day.)

I was very specific in my wants: a coat that would be light enough that I could throw it on while running errands, but warm enough to wear when it was really cold outside. I wanted a hood for days when it is raining and preferred something that could be worn with both athletic-wear and jeans and still look casual and cute but not feel too bulky.

After extensive research I selected The North Face Down Triclimate Jacket in Brownie . It is basically 3 coats in one! There is a down liner that zips into a HyVent shell. You can use the liner and shell separately or together. The shell protects you from rain, snow etc while the down liner keeps you warm. When used together you have the quintessential winter jacket.

The price tag seems a little steep (around $350) but it is a sound investment that you will surely use for seasons to come.
