Five Female CEOs Who Are Ultimate #GirlBosses

Because we never need an excuse to celebrate talent, Ebates would like to give a special shout-out to some of our favorite stores that are run by intelligent, inspiring and empowering women. Without the hard work of these fabulous girl bosses (and our very own), Ebates wouldn’t be where it is today.

Ulta Beauty

The fourth of six children and the first in her family to attend college, Mary Dillon rose through the retail ranks before taking the helm of beauty giant Ulta in 2013. Her focus on diversity and personally understanding the needs of the Ulta woman has not only propelled company growth, but also significantly contributed to the de-stigmatization of affordable beauty in an industry in which luxury reigns. Dillon once ran a marathon — and placed! — just to understand what runners looked for in their workout apparel. Now that’s dedication.

[ebatesads id=”in-post”]

Mindy Grossman is another first in her family to attend college. Grossman, the CEO of HSN, graduated at 19 and decided to forgo law school to pursue her passion in the fashion industry. She’s been killing it ever since — a success she attributes to her lifelong mantra, “Agile is the new smart.” Grossman encourages women to pursue their goals through her HSN Cares program, which supports first-time entrepreneurs.

BirchBox

Katia Beauchamp co-founded the innovative makeup-box company Birchbox with fellow Harvard Business School student Hayley Barna while they were still in school. Early on, the two women struggled to convey their female-oriented value proposition to predominantly male venture capital audiences. Despite encountering rejection after rejection for two years, the women persevered, eventually raising $1.4 million. Their wildly successful business model has since inspired dozens of similar subscription-box companies. Can you say, “girl boss goals”?

Tory Burch

Beginning in 2004 with now iconic footwear, Tory Burch built a billion-dollar brand that is internationally synonymous with elegance and originality. She is almost equally well known, however, for her commitment to female empowerment. She launched the Tory Burch Foundation to make financial resources available to aspiring female entrepreneurs. Recognizing that starting businesses takes more than just money, Burch recently launched her #EmbraceAmbition campaign. The site provides dozens of skill worksheets and helpful articles to help women explore their potential.

Neiman Marcus

Karen Katz, the CEO of Neiman Marcus Group, has been pushing boundaries at the mega-retailer since she started as a merchandise manager in the summer of 1985. Now, as its first female CEO, she’s taking Neiman Marcus to new girl boss heights. She was the first head of the company to initiate and support the launch of a nonprofit brand, Akola, in stores. Akola reinvests 100 percent of its sales into empowering women from disadvantaged communities in the United States.

How to Create the Perfect Fall Office Wardrobe

We spend about one third of our lives – and up to 50% of our total waking hours – at work. By comparison, we spend about the same amount of time on meals, social events, entertainment and household activities combined. The silver lining of this is that when you have a strong work wardrobe centered around multi-purpose pieces, you set yourself up to look fabulous all day, every day.

Just like a balanced work life, a balanced office wardrobe can be the key to being happier and less stressed overall. You can do this by dedicating your wardrobe to five simple categories. Read through our what to wear to work guide to find our top tips on building a great wardrobe of work outfits that is also full of play-friendly pieces. Follow our shopping tips to find out how to save big on fall office wear items from our top stores and earn Cash Back at Ebates when you shop.

30% of Your Work Wardrobe: Work Only

No matter where you work, there are sure to be certain unspoken dress code rules. From the office to the workshop to the classroom, each job has its own kind of must-have clothing. Whether you need a stable of suits or hard-wearing washables, those pieces that are the foundation of your professional outfits should make up close to a third of your closet. These items should be exclusively work wear and you should try to keep them separate from your casual, exercise or around-the-house clothes. This way, when a piece wears out, you don’t create a gap in your whole wardrobe. A tailored no-iron dress shirt from Lands’ End is the perfect addition to your fall work clothes wardrobe because of its classic styling and ease of care.

10% of Your Work Wardrobe: Transitional

There are two kinds of transitional clothing: one kind made for changing weather and one kind made for changing circumstances. Weather-transitional pieces like medium-weight sweaters, cotton twill pants or accessories like scarves can be worn as temperatures fluctuate. Event-transitional pieces like cardigans or mid-length dresses can be worn from work to play and back again. Give a tenth of your work wardrobe to these types of purchases to give your look flexibility. It’s important to be able to choose an outfit that helps you feel ready for whatever surprises come your way. A light short-sleeved cardigan from LOFT is fit for both warm weather and cool and will fit in to any scene, from professional to casual.

10% of Your Work Wardrobe: Seasonal

Every time of year has its staple wardrobe items that are specific to that season. Winter has boots, spring has sundresses and summer has beachwear. You may be sad to see summer go, but fall does have the widest range of seasonal wear. Fall clothing trends range from cold-weather outerwear to sunny day sandals. Stock up on fall work fashion trends with a fall business casual promo code from Ebates and add flexibility to your whole wardrobe for less. An October sweater could come in handy on a cool evening in April or a long-sleeve layering tee could be useful on a warm winter afternoon. A neutral-tone animal print sweater by Bloomingdale’s made with a mid-weight cashmere for a lightweight layering piece is a perfect seasonal pick for autumn weather.

VIA SPIGA Women’s Prim, $194.95 (Shoes.com)

30% of Your Work Wardrobe: Personal

It’s important to be able to express your personal style at work. Dedicate a sizeable portion of your fall wardrobe to letting people know just what style you love. The most fun and affordable way to do this is with accessories and shoes. When your personal accents are not seasonally dependent, like earrings or a handbag, you can keep your personal sense of style clear and strong throughout the year. Signature shoes can always spice up your favorite cute work outfits and business clothes for women can get a personal flair with items like belts and pins.

20% of Your Work Wardrobe: Annual

Although a good wardrobe can be timeless, part of the fun of the season is shopping for the newest trends in fall office wear for this year. It’s crucial to keep 20% of your fall work outfits fresh and on trend each year. Get your hands on the most on-trend items for 2016 to keep your workday look up to date. Newly arrived at Ralph Lauren are on-point wool-blend herringbone jackets that are a must-have piece for 2016.

Wendy Williams Perforated Faux-Leather Skirt, $54.95 (HSN)

Which Trends to Wear at Work

You don’t have to replace the basics you already have to be on-trend this year. Just add a flash of this season’s colors. The fall color palette for 2016 is full of rich earthy colors accented with jewel-tones and metallics. A classic blue trench coat can be made chic with the addition of a silver statement pin or oversized eggplant purple scarf. Even your favorite old jeans can be on point when paired with a red belt or yellow flats.

Mixing the traditional with the unexpected is another trend for this fall. Try classic silhouettes in unusual fabrics like an A-line or skater skirt in perforated leather and top it with a blazer or cardigan. Spice up an office wear staple, like the mid-heel pump, by choosing an eye-catching color like a deep autumnal orange.

The fall look for 2016 is all about layers and volume. Don’t be afraid of volume-adding cuts like bat-wing sleeves or skater dresses. Keep your look balanced by wearing fitted foundation layers like body-hugging tees and tailored tops. With a sleek look underneath and billowing outer wear, your look will be breezy, cozy and fashion forward.

For People Who Just Can’t Get Enough Pasta

Sunday, October 25 is National Pasta Day and we thought it would be the perfect time to celebrate all things pasta! Linguine, fettuccine, spaghetti, tortellini, ziti—the list is endless!

Fun Facts About Pasta:

On average, Italians eat enough spaghetti-shaped pasta to wind around the world 15,000 times.

The best pasta is cooked al dente. The literal translation is “to the tooth.” It should be firm yet still be tender when eaten.

According to the International Pasta Organization, there are more than 600 different shapes of pasta around the world!

Now that we’ve whet your appetite, we thought it would be helpful to bring together some of our favorite noodle-related products, including amazing cookbooks with delicious recipes. From wacky to practical and everything in between, there’s something on this list for every noodle buff.

For Everyone:

These three gadgets will help make your everyday consumption of pasta a little more professional and help you up your weeknight noodle game.

Joseph Joseph® Spaghetti Measure

With this handy tool, you’ll never have to worry about cooking the wrong amount of noodles again. Slide the measure to the appropriate serving and you’ll be sure that everyone gets their perfect portion.

Forghetti Pasta Forks

These cleverly designed forks feature wavy-edged tines that keep pasta put. Simply twist the Forghetti fork and the noodles will wrap right around. These forks make eating pasta easier for the little ones, and will make the grown-ups appear to be serious pasta connoisseurs to dinner guests.

Pastasaurus Pasta Server

Everyone at the table will love the fun design of the Pastasaurus Pasta Server. The teeth are designed specifically for grabbing slippery pasta, while the ergonomically designed handle provides a comfortable grip.

For the Master Chef:

For those seasoned cooks who already know how to make pasta but are itching to go pro, we’ve rounded up the tools you’ll need to start making professional grade noodles in your own kitchen.

Weston ROMA Automatic Pasta Machine

Hand cranking pasta is a thing of the past! Let this pasta maker do the work for you and soon you’ll be treating your family and friends to a feast of homemade pasta dishes just like the savory specialties served in authentic Italian restaurants.

KitchenAid Pasta Drying Rack

Once you’ve made the noodles, you’re going to need somewhere to dry them and that’s where this well-reviewed drying rack comes in. The must-have companion when creating fresh homemade pasta.

Spiral Vegetable Slicer

For those who need their pasta fix but don’t aren’t able to consume the traditional wheat-based noodles, think outside the box and use a spiralizer to make “pasta” out of vegetables like zucchini, sweet potato or carrot.
