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. Oooo: love … Read More about Suit of the Week: Trina Turk
Coffee Break – Media Ballet Flat
This one goes out to all the ladies who dislike wearing heels — loving the look to this simple ballet flat from Naturalizer. The low vamp, the classic buckle, the rubber soles — it looks classic and comfortable. It’s pictured here in “oxford brown,” but it’s also available in black, a reddish “cab sav,” a … Read More about Coffee Break – Media Ballet Flat
Coffee Break – Perfect Leather Belt
I absolutely fell in love with this belt when I saw it styled on ShopBop’s home page — it just looks gorgeous with that black blazer. Whether or not the non-models among us can wear it like that is a different question, but in general it looks like a great basic belt (even if just … Read More about Coffee Break – Perfect Leather Belt

Coffee Break – “Modern Metallic” Gold Resin Geometric Frontal Necklace
Oooh: Love the geometric look to this necklace from Kenneth Cole New York. I’d wear it to jazz up a ton of simple shapes — the black turtleneck, a solid colored cardigan or boatneck sweater — and even as part of a more layered look, such as with a crisp button front blouse, open to … Read More about Coffee Break – “Modern Metallic” Gold Resin Geometric Frontal Necklace

Coffee Break – Misty Pump
Reader E wrote in to recommend this lovely purple pump, noting “I first got this one at Nordstrom Rack in the grey which has blue tones in the croc pattern. Really bridged the gap in my shoes from the too-staid, too-parochial navy pump and plain grey ones. Loved it so much, found the purple suede … Read More about Coffee Break – Misty Pump

Coffee Break – Linda Crocodile Bag
Ha cha cha. I remember being incredulous the first time I saw the price tag on a Nancy Gonzalez bag at Bergdorf’s — yes, nice, but HOW many thousands of dollars did they want for it? But over the years I really have come to appreciate the structure, craftsmanship, and just flat-out beauty of these … Read More about Coffee Break – Linda Crocodile Bag
