Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m in love with this lamb suede two button crossover front jacket by Rick Owens… the shearling lining, the stretch wool under sleeves, and the stand up collar… love. I’m the kind of person who’s always freezing, so I’d probably … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Hollywood Jacket

Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. My obsession with organic, almost rough jewelry continues (at least for the weekend): I’m drooling over these gold, diamond and sapphire earrings by Brooke Gregson. I’d love to wear these with my hair in an up-do… sigh. They’re $6,545 at Net-a-Porter. Brooke Gregson 18-karat gold, diamond and … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Short Sleeve Crepe Sheath Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Hmmmn. HMMN. I am inherently distrustful of a dress that is, at full price, $39.99, but I gotta say, this looks kind of awesome. Sleeves! A flattering jewel neck! A ladylike hem length! The dress is also fully lined, machine … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Short Sleeve Crepe Sheath Dress
Coffee Break: Take Me Tech Me Tote
Bloomingdale’s just added a ton of bags to its sale section, and I’m in love with half of the Marc by Marc Jacobs bags in the mix. For today’s coffee break I like this quilted nylon bag — it looks durable, lightweight, and I always like interior slip pockets. It was $198, but is now … Read More about Coffee Break: Take Me Tech Me Tote
How to Do Halloween at the Office
Halloween is coming soon, ladies! We’ve talked about office-appropriate Halloween outfits in the past, but I thought I’d start an open thread to see what’s happening this year: Are you dressing up for office-related Halloween events? What will your costume be? Is Halloween generally a source of stress for you, or a fun time? (Personally … Read More about How to Do Halloween at the Office

Thursday’s TPS Report: Three-Quarter-Sleeve Faux-Wrap Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This faux wrap dress from Charter Club shows a lot of promise for $89 — I like the 3/4 length sleeves, the modest V-neck, the ladylike hem, and the faux wrap. And, of course, that color — gorgeous! Fun and … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Three-Quarter-Sleeve Faux-Wrap Dress
Suit of the Week: Nanette Lepore
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. Colored suits … Read More about Suit of the Week: Nanette Lepore
How to Dazzle at a Meeting (Book Excerpt)
Today we have a rare treat: a book excerpt from Kate White’s new book, I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This. Kate White’s been on my radar since my magazine junkie days — I vividly remember sneaking into the Family Circle library to read her older book, Why Good Girls Don’t Get Ahead…But Gutsy Girls Do, … Read More about How to Dazzle at a Meeting (Book Excerpt)
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Metallic Boucle Fit Flare Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This dress is 39″, which should be plenty long on women of average height (but I’ll admit it does look a bit short on the model). Still, I’m intrigued by the boucle — I suspect this dress is a bit … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Metallic Boucle Fit Flare Dress

Alfani’s Step N Flex line has been heralded by readers as one of the most comfortable heel brands, and the cheetah print is on trend with all of the animal print heels out this season.
