I just saw a review on CNET about how the new Fitbit Force is their very favorite fitness tracker, so I thought I’d pick this for today’s gift idea. Tread lightly if you’re thinking of this gift for someone who has not expressed specific interest in a fitness tracker or in getting more fit — … Read More about Coffee Break: Fitbit Force Wireless Activity + Sleep Wristband
Thursday’s TPS Report: Tamsin Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This blazer by Cartonnier caught my eye (pictured on the Talla dress) — it looks like a great shrunken blazer to wear over winter dresses and other fall/winter/spring outfits. I like the tan and black color scheme, and the nubby … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Tamsin Blazer
Suit of the Week: The Limited
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 know … Read More about Suit of the Week: The Limited
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Short-Sleeve Faux-Leather Ponte Sheath Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’ve been eyeing this short-sleeve ponte sheath dress for a while, and it’s finally hit a price too good not to post. Hooray for a lined dress, smart seaming, a ladylike hemlength, and a hidden back zipper. There are faux … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Short-Sleeve Faux-Leather Ponte Sheath Dress
Coffee Break: Heavyweight Full Zip Hooded Sweatshirt
I had long heard tell of the amazing, highly rated American Giant sweatshirt for men. Great, you think, I’m always looking for a good gift for my husband/brother/boyfriend/father/___. But then you look at the price: $89? For a sweatshirt? After years of postponing the purchase, I finally bit and got one earlier this year for … Read More about Coffee Break: Heavyweight Full Zip Hooded Sweatshirt
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Split-Neck Dress in Windowpane
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I love this print because it seems so much bolder than a simple windowpane, but that’s all it is — a simple pattern that men have worn for years (centuries?). I would avoid wearing the dress with red, but would … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Split-Neck Dress in Windowpane
Coffee Break: Tassel Clip Keychain
This time of year can be really awful for a lot of reasons, but particularly if you’re looking for a small gift, either as a stocking stuffer, a Secret Santa type thing, or as a physical supplement to a larger cash gift. I would be happy to get this fun keychain from Banana Republic — … Read More about Coffee Break: Tassel Clip Keychain
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Jersey Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Monday! I am dying for this great “grape” dress from BOSS Hugo Boss — the neckline, sleeves, and hem length all look fabulous for work, while the jersey material, ruching, and wide waistband look really flattering. I’d wear it … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Jersey Dress
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Chelsea Cardigan Sequin Dot
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. If you’re looking for an inexpensive (yet not trashy) way to “festive” up your regular working wardrobe, I’m really digging this black-on-black sequin dot cardigan from New York & Company, also available in white and blue. The black on black, … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Chelsea Cardigan Sequin Dot
Coffee Break: Jet Set Large Travel Tote
We’ve featured this bag before, but since the large jet-set tote rarely goes on sale in basic colors (at least so far as I’ve been watching it), I thought I’d post. The bag is a great basic — Saffiano leather to hide scratches, lots of interior dividers, and big enough for lots of stuff (14.5″W … Read More about Coffee Break: Jet Set Large Travel Tote
Thursday’s TPS Report: Coral Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Both Amazon and Bloomingdale’s have this pretty and colorful sheath dress marked down to $72. I like the wide V, and the unusual blend of colors — I might try it with a navy blazer or sweater, and perhaps a … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Coral Dress
