I’ve spent way too long today combing through the Sephora sale to make some recommendations (occupational hazard) and love the look of this gorgeous sheer lipstick from Westman Atelier. I think my color is going to be “ballerine,” but I’m open to suggestions!

Other things I’m getting in the sale personally: Manucurist nail treatments (anyone else stalked by them on social meda?), Violette (I’m trying the lightest color of this eye product), the viral Kulfi lip stain, and I was pleased to see a smaller size of Good Genes, which I love but don’t use often. I just got a new tube of this, but I really do love this highlighter so I’m getting another one since it’s marked down and so often out of stock. (Oh and if you’re a perfume girlie, the Replica free sample is in a lot of the perfume kits for this summer…)

Here’s everything I would recommend in the sale… readers, what are you getting?

Here’s a link to the collection, or hopefully you can view it in the widget below…

I was buying some stuff at the Ulta sale last weekend (namely this and this, both still on sale) and was $6 away from free shipping… I thought it might make a fun conversation: what are the small things that you add to get to free shipping at beauty sites (or any other sites)?

(I do most of my shopping at Nordstrom because I hate paying for shipping! Also worth noting — the big Sephora sale is now open to all, which I haven’t even started looking through yet…)

At Ulta I wound up adding the e.l.f. hydration core lip gloss, which I’ve now bought 4 times. (One of those times was “delightful (mauve),” though, which makes me look dead, so I do not recommend! I’ve bought “ecstatic” twice (pictured below) — I really think it is similar to Black Honey — but this time decided to try “joyful,” so… finger’s crossed.)

We haven’t done a “little things” thread in a while, but I think this kind of counts — what small, budget items are easy things to add to your cart to get to the free shipping minimum?

When the color palette is more simple, which, I know, isn’t always my instinct, I start building outfits differently. Between layers—structure against softness, polish against ease, masculine against feminine—the focus shifts away from color and onto how everything actually works together.

There’s usually a fluid base, a skirt or dress that moves with the body rather than holding it in place. Bias-cut, sheer, lightweight silk keeps the look from feeling too rigid or fixed. Adding a tailored jacket, a sculpted corset, or a clean, architectural top shifts the entire energy, defining the shape and creating contrast against that movement without taking away from it.

Texture becomes the point, especially in spring and summer materials. Silk against linen, sheer cotton against fine knits, everything stays light, but each layer still reads as its own. With the palette kept tight, the attention naturally stays on cut, proportion, and fabrication rather than color.

Accessories follow the same direction. Small bags, sculptural shoes, minimal gold—pieces that finish the look without interrupting it. It all comes down to how the layers sit together, and how each one holds its place.

As you may have seen mentioned elsewhere (such as at Above the Law), Google has now rolled out a way to add websites to your “preferred news sources.” It’s a one-click process if you are signed into your Google account, essentially; this link should do it.

This feature puts you back in control. Instead of relying entirely on the algorithm, you can tell Google exactly which voices you trust.

For example: if you’d rather not see workwear roundups written by 20-year-old interns (no shade, but…), adding Corporette as a preferred source helps ensure our coverage shows up higher in your personal results.

This can make a huge difference for us! Over the past year and a half, Google changes (and now AI-heavy search results) have significantly reduced traffic for independent publishers. I’m hardly alone in this, unfortunately. Many smaller sites have seen the same decline, with some shifting to subscriptions or shutting down entirely.

I’ve always tried to keep Corporette — including our community features — free and accessible. Adding us as a preferred source is a genuinely low-effort way to support the site and keep that model going.

How to Set Corporette As Your Preferred Source

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I only see Corporette? No– Google will still show numerous sources. This simply prioritizes Corporette when we have relevant, timely content.

Can I add more than one source? Absolutely — you can (and should) add multiple trusted sites.

Does this work on mobile? Yes! This feature is active across both desktop and mobile browsers, as well as the Google app.

Thank you, as always, for being part of the Corporette community. By adding us as a preferred source, you’re helping ensure that our workwear roundups, career advice, and community discussions remain easy to find — and continue to exist.

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

The irises in my garden beds are just starting to poke out of the ground, so I’m officially ready for all the spring florals. This blouson-sleeve blouse from Alice + Olivia is so delightfully spring-y that I’m confident that any day I wear it into the office will immediately result in a happy hour on a patio somewhere.

If you’d like to really lean into the print, it also comes in a pant, blazer, skirt, and dress for maximum spring fun.

The blouse is $375 at Alice + Olivia and comes in sizes XS-XL.
