These sophisticated Mary Jane heels are getting great reviews.

burgundy patent Mary Jane

I have a soft spot in my heart for sophisticated Mary Jane heels like this, and when I saw the reviews this shoe was getting I knew I had to post.

“Single, greatest pair of shoes EVER!” said one woman who “bought them on a whim;” another reviewer said the heel height was “perfect, complimentary, and comfortable.” Yes please!

Patent leather shoes can be a bit controversial for the office, but I think these work — particularly for the holiday season.

I’m picturing them in bordeaux, but they’re also available in black, emerald, and a goldish velvet — Nordstrom is down to lucky sizes in some of the colors, unfortunately.

The shoes are $350, and available in sizes 6-11; you can find them at Nordstrom and Bruno Magli.

Looking for something similar? There aren’t a ton that I know of — Manolo Blahnik has had this heeled Mary Jane for years, and Jennifer Chamandii has some cute styles now. In terms of affordable options that are less than $350, Amazon also has a “limited time sale” on these SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker Mary Jane pumps, and these Kurt Geiger pumps are only $150 at Dillards. If you prefer block heels, M.Gemi has a Mary-Jane, and if you prefer wedges, Theory has some Mary Jane wedges.

Three AI Tools That Could Be Useful at Work https://corporette.com/ai-tools-that-could-be-useful-at-work/ https://corporette.com/ai-tools-that-could-be-useful-at-work/#respond Wed, 29 Nov 2023 18:44:00 +0000 https://corporette.com/?p=160549

Have you used any AI tools for work-related purposes? (Personal?) How are you using them, and what are your thoughts?

Have you played around with a lot of the AI tools? There are a lot of possible issues with the results from AI (such as entirely made up answers!!), so use these tools with a LOT of caution and only as one tool in your wheelhouse. Still, some that could be useful include the following — and I’d love to hear if you know of any other!

AI Tools That Could Be Useful at Work

Zoom Summary

Have you noticed that new little button on your Zoom dashboard, Summary? If you click that button from in-meeting controls at the beginning of your Zoom meeting, the meeting summary will begin to be generated, and participants will see a notification informing that the Meeting Summary is active. When the meeting has ended, the summary will be finalized and sent out.

(You do need a certain level of admin access to Zoom, but participants can request Summary… if an admin is not present on the call, an email will be sent.)

It can keep notes on what is said, consolidate ideas into different categories, and keep track of to-dos and follow up tasks, including who said they would do them.

At the moment it’s available for users as a free trial – here’s more info on the Zoom blog.

ChatPDF

Chat PDF promises to “extract information or answer questions from large PDF files like manuals, essays, books.” You can upload a PDF of ANY size and, apparently, in any language, and then ask the AI chatbot to answer questions based on that source PDF by citing and highlighting specific paragraphs.

For professionals, you could use this to do an initial assessment or help you pinpoint a section to look at of a manual, a book, a contract, a financial report, or more.

AudioPen

AudioPen “converts unstructured voice notes into text that’s easy to read and ready to share.” As they note, “if you like thinking out loud, you’ll love Audio Pen.”

You can draft articles, emails, messages, and more, just by talking. The program will consolidate ideas into categories or even an outline form — not necessarily in how you spoke about them, but how might make sense contextually.

On the free version, you get up to 3 minutes to talk, whereas on paid versions you can get more.

Readers, have you used any AI tools for work-related purposes? (Personal?) How are you using them, and what are your thoughts?

These bestselling earrings bring a nice pop of color near your face.

gold post earring with a dropped bezel-set colorful stone below

I know that gold jewelry is super trendy right now, but I still like a little color in my jewelry… and these bestsellers from Julie Vos look gorgeous, especially for work.

I like how they’re substantial earrings but also just basic posts — there’s no movement near your face, which can be distracting. I also like how they bring a beautiful pop of color to your face.

(Maybe this is a “me” thing — as a pale brunette with brown eyes I really feel like I have to rely on lipstick or jewelry near my face to bring some color into the mix! It probably doesn’t help that I wear a ton of black, ha.)

These pretty earrings are $165 at JulieVos.com. They come in 10 colors, and you can also get them as clip-on earrings if you prefer.

snuggly gray hoodie with a shirttail hem and thumbholes

Something on your mind? Chat about it here.

Nordstrom already has Black Friday deals on the website, and there are some great deals to be had, generally in the 30-40% off region. Brands that jumped out to me right away (I was sorting by customer reviews) were Aquatalia, Aveda, Barefoot Dreams, Lancôme, and TONS of lingerie like Natori Bliss panties.

This Barefoot Dreams hoodie looks super snuggly, and I love the shirttail hem and thumbholes. (I really love almost anything with thumbholes though, ha.) It would make a great gift for someone special in your life, or a nice cozy treat for lounging around the house yourself.

It’s $145 full price, but marked to $102 in the Black Friday Deal.
