The Piperlime Half-Yearly sale has started, and there’s a ton of good stuff. I find myself drawn to a lot of the pieces by Sabine, a new-to-me brand that has clothes and jewelry, all with what feel like a fresh, almost French vibe. This long red pendant necklace is kind of really cool — the perfect accent for a summery white top. It was $28, but is now marked to $9.97. Stone Pendant Long Necklace

Shopping with Kat: SoHo Edition
06/17/2013 By 25 Comments
And now it’s time for an occasional feature on the blog: shopping with Kat. For this edition, I ran around SoHo, looking for clothes on the racks that looked like good workwear items. I popped into a number of stores including French Connection, Diane von Furstenberg, Missoni, DKNY, Miu Miu, Ralph Lauren, J.Crew, Intermix, Club Monaco, Bauble Bar, and Hugo Boss — below are some of my favorite pieces from the trek (in order of price, low to high). You can follow my full adventures on Instagram. (This was my first time using Instagram, so please bear with me… all pictures taken by me with my new Samsung Galaxy S4 (which I bought a few weekends ago and love).
J.Crew: The photos don’t do justice to the bright blue of this linen blazer from J.Crew — it’s fresh and happy, almost a neon. And, in even better news, it’s on sale — it was $175 but is now marked down to $130 at J.Crew; it’s also available in a flamingo pink and mossy green. (If they had the other colors in stock at the store, I didn’t even notice them.) Schoolboy blazer in crosshatch linen [Read more...]

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
There are a lot of gorgeous pieces (and deep discounts) at Barneys New York’s big sale. For this morning’s TPS, though, I’m ogling this wool tuxedo jacket by Dolce & Gabbana. Yes, a bit boring, but come on — it’s a total classic. It was $1,725 but is now marked to $689 (limited sizes, alas). Dolce & Gabbana Tuxedo Jacket

Something on your mind? Chat about it here.
The ankle strap sandal trend is going strong this season, and I love these nude-for-me shoes from Miz Mooz. The texture is awesome, and I love the velcro, as I’ve somehow reached the stage of life where I need weekend shoes that I can put on with one hand. (They’re very similar to last year’s Panthea, which I own and are cute and comfortable.) I actually love all of the other colors are awesome as well — that turquoise! that coral-ly red! They’re $99 at Zappos. Miz Mooz Papaya

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Sophie Print Silk Blouse
06/14/2013 By 112 Comments
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
Last Call has a number of deeply marked down Equipment silk blouses, including this nice black and white sheer silk blouse. I know that sheer blouses (with only a bra beneath) are all the rage right now — but for work I will always vote that you should have a white or black thick-strapped tank top beneath a blouse like this. It was $218, then marked to $99, but with the discount it comes down to $49.50. Equipment Sophie Print Silk Blouse, Nature White/Black
