Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’ve noticed this boiled wool blazer before at Macys.com, and I think with the right outfit it could be really cute — I like the bright color, the almost origami-like ruffles, and the shawl collar. I’d wear it with dark … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Long Sleeve Wool Ruffle Blazer
Coffee Break – Vintage Valise Novelty Kendra E/W Tote
I’m always a fan of a colorful bag, and this “beet” Cole Haan tote fits the bill perfectly. (I would call this more of a satchel, but that’s me — I always think of totes as being something bigger!) It’s part of the winter clearance sale going on now at eBags, where almost everything is … Read More about Coffee Break – Vintage Valise Novelty Kendra E/W Tote

Suit of the Week: Mila Schön
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. Yoox has … Read More about Suit of the Week: Mila Schön

Coffee Break – Plum Quasar Patent
C’mon, you know I can’t pass up a good purple pump — especially not one on sale. These highly-rated Stuart Weitzman shoes are super high (4.25″!!!) so these are not for the faint-hearted — but if you’re a fan of tall heels, these have your name all over them. They were $298, but are now … Read More about Coffee Break – Plum Quasar Patent
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Side Ruched Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I really like this simple black ruched dress from BOSS Black — the faux wrap, blousy look to the ruching, and the slightly uneven hem all look just a bit more interesting than your boring wrap dress.

Coffee Break – 24k Gold-Over-Silver Filigree Hoop Earrings
I like these small, delicate filigree earrings from Kohl’s — and I think they look a lot richer than $30. These 24K gold-over-sterling-silver earrings look pretty yet serious, comfortable, and classic. They were $70, but are now marked to $31.50. 24k Gold-Over-Silver Filigree Hoop Earrings (L-2)

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Coffee Break – Stitched Hobo
Today’s item is definitely a splurge — but for anyone out there looking for it: hello, Bottega Veneta. I’ve been drooling over this stitched hobo for a few weeks now — love that grained leather look, and something about the short braided strap (it’s 6″) really appeals to me. It’s (gulp) $3,680 at Barney’s New … Read More about Coffee Break – Stitched Hobo

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Day-um — there are some nice deep discounts at Charles Tyrwhitt.
