Nordstrom Anniversary Sale — Kat’s Picks
As promised, here are a few of my top picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. I still have to go through shoes and bags, so stay tuned for that (maybe on the Weekend Open Thread).
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Trim Sweater Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale officially starts today! I’ll do a roundup of some of my top picks later this morning, but if you’re not familiar with it; this is the sale where new fall clothes are marked down — for … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Trim Sweater Jacket
Coffee Break: Carlyle Tote
I always think of three things when I think of Henri Bendel: first, the killer sales they used to have when I first got to NYC (back when they sold clothes as well as accessories), and 2) the fact that at some point law firms were throwing women’s networking events there (which I always thought … Read More about Coffee Break: Carlyle Tote
Thursday’s TPS Report: Cascade Wrap Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Bloomingdale’s has some amazing sales right now — there are a lot of pieces marked from the $100+ range down to $25 or so (with lots of lucky sizes, so sort by your size first). However: this fun wrap dress … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Cascade Wrap Dress
Suit of the Week: Dorothy Perkins
For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning. In general, this feature is not about interview suits for women, which should be as classic and basic as you get — instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional. I’ll be … Read More about Suit of the Week: Dorothy Perkins

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Colorblock Scuba Knit Sheath Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m normally not a fan of beige for dresses (not my color) — but I’m loving the beige/black/white colorblocking here, which looks flattering and interesting. In terms of outfits, because beige is really not my color, I would probably focus … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Colorblock Scuba Knit Sheath Dress
Coffee Break: Okala Pumps
Angie at You Look Fab has a post today called “An Aha Moment for Happy Feet” wherein she sings the praises of these gorgeous pumps — if that isn’t a killer recommendation I don’t know what is. I am in love with this black calf-hair/purple pair, but they’re also available in cheetah/black and a “saddle”/tan … Read More about Coffee Break: Okala Pumps
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Edward Peplum Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. The peplum trend is still going strong, and I like this poppy-colored blazer from BCBGMAXAZRIA. The flap detail is interesting on an otherwise fairly streamlined blazer, and the zipper actually looks functional. It’s $248 at Zappos (poppy only), and BCBG.com … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Edward Peplum Jacket
Coffee Break: Aztec Bangle
Piperlime is having a pretty great sale: with code SUMMER you can take an extra 25% off all sale items. There are lots of shoes, clothes and bags to check out (including the Kors jet set tote from Thursday) but for today’s Coffee Break I’m liking this Aztec bangle from House of Harlow. The pink … Read More about Coffee Break: Aztec Bangle
The Best Lists To Keep (That Might Seem Obsessive But Are Actually Super Useful)
I am kind of an obsessive list-keeper and note-taker. Back when I had a Palm Pilot, it was filled with ’em; now that I’m on Android I’m still happily using the program B-Folders to keep track of my myriad lists. Am I crazy? Sure. (All the best people are.) But I sometimes really marvel at … Read More about The Best Lists To Keep (That Might Seem Obsessive But Are Actually Super Useful)
