This is the most wonderful bag! I gave it in navy as a gift to my bestie for her bday, she loves it! I literally get stopped in airports and asked about it by men and women. Flight attendants are ordering it. Even the sales lady at Ralph Lauren on Newbury Street is obsessed with it!
I have them in multiple colors, they are very light in a soft leather. They are $75, if you want one order @plumsouthern.com. Shipping is additional. #leatherbag #travelcarryonbags #computerbag, #everydaybag

May 23, 2024
Kiara Springs, a 25-year old, is part of a new retail trend, shares The New York Times.

Her “sidewalk” to get traffic is TikTok, and her “POS” is Amazon. Her “stockroom” is the brand’s warehouse. She has an Amazon affiliate account and goods are drop shipped.

I have a friend who recently took a job with a respected women’s clothing retailer after 13 years of retirement. My friend, Leslie, a former school teacher, wanted to be of use and knew that retail was a great opportunity for seniors. She was all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed her first week. She loved that the manager asked her to try on clothes she liked and then suggested outfits that would look good on her. Leslie even purchased a few of those suggestions, couture she never would have ...

Discover the men and women behind Baccarat’s enchanting creations.
« I joined Baccarat by coincidence, or rather by chance. For me, the company is a family affair: my grandfather and my father worked here, and like them, I share this love of our craft and of work well done. From a plan defined by the design office, I assemble all the components of the chandeliers, which arrive in already chiseled and pre-drilled pieces – pendants, octagons, and crystal prisms. Because my ...

Discover the men and women behind Baccarat’s enchanting creations.
« The challenge of the glassmaker’s trade consists in keeping a close eye on the temperature of the material. Whether the crystal is picked with a ferret or a cane to collect the right amount of material, or to shape it, everything depends on a few degrees: if the crystal cools down too much, it breaks; if it is too hot, it cannot be worked with. You must forge your mind, because it’s a very demanding ...

« Being a cutter is a demanding job that requires having a real knack for it. In my spare time, I practice by drawing and painting in oil or acrylic. And I, who came here and joined the robotics core, would encourage anyone who wants to delve into cutting, to persevere.

Before the mid-19th century, only the wealthy were allowed into upscale stores, and women often didn’t stroll around downtown. Women were escorted to and around most public environments.
Shopping:

- Enabled the common person to drink and eat the same thing that presidents and kings did.
- Helped minorities leverage their civil rights.
Some interesting facts:
- About 60% of Americans (197m) shop....

Today’s Gen Z gift registrants want to do everything online, often on their iPhone 14. They want to start a registry, add products, remove products, edit quantities, and view purchases. They don't want to call the store to do this.
In the adoption of digital tools, another trend is also at play: female shoppers are busier than before. Today, more women graduate from college than men. Women are increasingly doctors, CEOs, and world leaders. (Italy just welcomed its ...

…….
While thumbing through the Times, I noticed a smiling young woman’s picture in the obituaries.

I was initially attracted to Ronni Solbert’s 1959 picture, yet I was even more drawn in by what I noticed next to her photo: a children&...
