Coffee Break: Brass Elephant Bowl
This little friendly brass elephant strikes me as the perfect thing to give some personality to your office, as well as to help you keep some tiny things — paperclips, perhaps — organized. (Or, if you take your earring(s) off for long phone calls, you can always keep them here when you’re not wearing them.) … Read More about Coffee Break: Brass Elephant Bowl
Your Personal Style: What Just Isn’t “You”?
Your personal style is made up of many preferences and habits — your work style vs. your off-the-clock style, how conservative or edgy your wardrobe is, the accessories you choose to complement your look, your opinions on what’s office-friendly and what isn’t, and the styles/colors/trends that you’ve decided you just don’t wear, ever. Many moons ago, I had a purple t-shirt … Read More about Your Personal Style: What Just Isn’t “You”?
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Ottoman-Rib Peplum Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Ha cha cha. I love this dark grey wool ottoman-rib peplum jacket, in part because the unevenness makes it so cool — that asymmetric placket, the not-quite-round neckline, the raw edges… very cool. It’s definitely a fashionista piece, and it … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Ottoman-Rib Peplum Jacket
Deal Alert: Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
As mentioned earlier: hooray, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is now open to the general public! I did a round-up a week or so ago when it opened for Rewards card members, but thought I’d revisit
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Happy Weekend! I’ve historically been against puffer coats — but this one is barely puffy at all. Still, with a brand like North Face behind it, I’m sure it’s nice and toasty. I like the fitted style, also; it looks great for zipping around town on the weekend … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Navy Block Piped Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Friday! This lovely navy and white dress (also available in ivory with black piping) looks like something I’ve seen from a much higher price point. The high neckline, the ladylike hem, the non-body-con fit — all are great. It’s … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Navy Block Piped Dress
Coffee Break: Metal Hinged Bracelet
So: that’s a Fitbit. Where? Right there, on her wrist. It’s part of Tory Burch’s new collaboration with Fitbit. I’m pretty psyched about this, even though I’ve had a love/hate relationship with Fitbit ever since I got the Force rash (while pregnant, too!). (I now wear a Fitbit Flex but only when I’m going on … Read More about Coffee Break: Metal Hinged Bracelet
Guest Post: Tips for Traveling Solo
What are your best tips for traveling solo, ladies? We’ve talked about how to plan a vacation and how to take vacation time without making yourself crazy, but we haven’t really discussed traveling alone as a woman. Particularly considering some folks may be in the midst of planning bar trips right now, I thought we’d discuss. Today’s tips for traveling … Read More about Guest Post: Tips for Traveling Solo
Thursday’s TPS Report: Tailored Peplum Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Topshop isn’t a brand I usually think of for workwear, but I’m loving not one but two blazers from them, both at Nordstrom: this lovely peplum jacket (available in four colors, pictured in grey) and this other open-front blazer. Both … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Tailored Peplum Jacket
Suit of the Week: ASOS
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. Everyone seemed to … Read More about Suit of the Week: ASOS
