More Secrets to Your Success

Transitioning back into the working world after a bit of time off can usher in a range of emotions from exhilaration to trepidation. Maybe you were the rising star before you pushed the pause button, but now you’re back and working for her. In the latest Secrets to Your Success video on Yahoo! Shine, Kathryn Eisman asks executive coach Ellen Lubin Sherman about how to deal with a younger boss.
For this interview Kathryn practices what Ellen preaches for big meetings, “be full of pizazz, and make sure all your neurons are firing.” And, what better way to do that then in a fabulous hot pink Kate Spade dress and Vera Wang black satin bow shoes. Kathryn went for this youthful look because it is as sophisticated as it is stylish.

Dad’s Turn: What He Wants for Father’s Day

Last month, we gave you some helpful hints on what Mom really wanted for Mother’s Day.  Well, turnabout is fair play … so now it’s Dad’s turn!

To help with your Father’s Day shopping, we asked our data geeks to research the brands that our male members want most.  We’ve even sorted them by age group so you can find just the right gift for grandpa, dad or hubby.

Men's Most-Popular Brands by Age

To start, we want to share some brand choices that will be winners, regardless of age:

  • Calvin Klein, Levi’s and Ralph Lauren were in the top 10 across all age groups,
  • Armani placed in the top 10 for all age groups except those 31-40,
  • Nike was #1 for every age group except for men over age 60, where it came in fourth place (still a great showing!) and
  • Adidas made the top 10 for all age groups except men over 60.

Not what you’re looking for?  If you’d prefer something more specific to age group, consider the following:

For older dads and grandpas, choose from the following:

  • Both Nordstrom and Brooks Brothers ranked in the top 10 only for the over-60 group;
  • Dockers captured the top spot for men over 60, and scored in the top 10 for men 51-60; and
  • Tommy Hilfiger made the top 10 for men ages 51 and up.

For dads (husbands) in the middle:  

  • The sophisticated style of Hugo Boss ranked in the top 10 among men age 31 to 60, while
  • Both Banana Republic and Gap scored well with men under 50; and
  • Kenneth Cole made the top 10 for ages 31 and up.

For the youngest dads, consider:

  • Armani Exchange, which only appeared in the top 10 for men ages 20 and younger,
  • Lacoste, which is popular with guys under 20 up to age 40, and
  • Diesel, which scored in the top 10 for ages 21 to 40.

For more ideas, shop our pop-up shops below with tons of great items from all of the top men’s brands, including fun picks from some of the Shop It To Me dads:

Ladylike Leather and Silk

You know you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but at one time or another, you’ve probably formed a quick opinion about someone based on how they looked.
That’s one of the take-aways of this week’s Secrets To Your Success on Yahoo! Shine, as host Kathryn Eisman talks with branding expert Kyla Latrice about projecting the image you want, and being conscious that life is not a dress rehearsal.
Kathryn Eisman
For her part, Kathryn chose a ladylike yet current look for this interview. If this sensibility speaks to your “brand”, here are pieces to consider snapping up.
(All styles found via Shop It To Me.)
On Kathryn
Valentino Blouse (sold out), Anne Klein skirt ($247.50), Sergio Rossi pumps ($299.94)
Kathryn’s style tips:
1.Wearing leather to the office can be a challenge. By mixing the sexy leather skirt with an ultra delicate paper silk top and ladylike heels it creates a refreshing yet still office appropriate look.
2. Rather than teaming bold color, like this purple skirt, with a boring neutral, experiment with a colored blouse and shoes in a cooler shade within the same color family.
Check out these similar styles we found:
Similar Items
From left to right: Anne Klein ($59), French Connection ($56.99), BCBGeneration ($58)

Kathryn Eisman in Slam Dunk style

Mom always said, “It’s not where you start the race, it’s where you finish.” I was reminded of that advice while watching this week’s Secrets to Your Success on Yahoo! Shine. Our friend Kathryn Eisman got up close and personal with Olympian Gail Marquis about her surprising career shift from basketball champion to a financial planner on Wall Street. We particularly enjoyed hearing how Gail took the three “Ds” from one arena to the other.

And, as usual, Kathryn’s ensemble was a real slam dunk!
