Shecky’s

When I'm trying to be sexy, I think of the scene in Clueless when Cher is trying to attract Christian. She sends herself flowers anonymously, delves into decadent chocolates and dusts herself ever-so-seductively with her feathered pen. While Cher didn’t have the best of luck (turns out Christian was a “disco-dancing, Oscar Wilde reading, Streisand ticket holding friend of Dorothy…”... CONTINUE READING 28

With two Jewish holidays under my belt in the past two weeks and Thanksgiving and Hanukkah creeping up in my future, I find that holidays are less about what makes my heart tingle (food, family, tradition), and more about surface level things. The time assigned to meditating and reflecting has been replaced by time dedicated to menu decisions, décor planning and...

The Shecky’s Staffer of the Men, WTF column is at it again, and after a summer full of weddings, engagements and other holy matrimony hoopla (plus a fall where none of that tying the knot excitement is slowing down), she’s got a thing or 10 to say about marriage proposals. See her dos and don’ts list and share the story... CONTINUE READING 49

This first day of autumn is almost here and September signifies the start of prime apple season. With chillier mornings upon us, we need something to look forward to every a.m.—like yummy breakfasts that use fall's favorite fruit. You might have to wait till Sunday brunch to serve these up—or make it “Breakfast for Dinner” at your place tonight. -Cait Rohan Give... CONTINUE READING 27

We all know the feeling: the hands of the clock point to 3—too early for another meal but late enough since lunch fed our hunger pains. But what to do? Certain nutritional restrictions prevent us from heading over to the snack machine and indulging in that mid-afternoon pick-me-up. Not anymore! With food allergies reaching new highs, more and more companies are... CONTINUE READING 25

Another Fashion Week here and gone, and another set of opinions to boot. As usual, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week brought with it everything from extreme joy (read: I-can’t-wait-to-see-who-rocks-that-on-the-Red-Carpet-and-be-SO-jealous) to extreme disgust (read: is-this-reallllly-the-future-of-fashion?!). I picked five collections from this week that made me go: RUNWAY, WTF?! Now I want your opinion: Which one of these is the worst?! Vote in the... CONTINUE READING 27

With fall's official start this week, I’m already looking forward to October, getting psyched for our Girls Night Out event in New York City on October 6-9 and gearing up for an important cause: Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Raising awareness, doing good and looking good while doing it…what could be better?! These pretty pink picks (and so many more!) will... CONTINUE READING 17

It’s easy to get so wrapped up in the pure fashion aspect of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, but what about the photographers who so perfectly catch those models going down the runway? Without them, discovering next season’s latest and greatest would be limited only to those who actually attended the shows…and every daydreaming fashionista knows that's not fair. Shecky’s got the...

For nearly five months, I’ve been trying to fill a few positions at our human capital firm, and along the way I’ve learned quite a lot about the many ways job candidates can blow their job prospects—obvious and not so obvious. In this still-challenging economy, it is not what the company can do for you, but what value you bring... CONTINUE READING 13

I am a firm believer that sexiness doesn’t need to be obvious, and when it comes to enticing the other sex, I stand by my words. Forget about those leather chaps and PVC crotchless pants, us ladies need to leave a little something to the imagination! Right now underwear is having a moment as outerwear, and if Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is... CONTINUE READING 20
