Thursday’s TPS Report: Cashmere Basic V-Cardigan

05/23/2013 By 231 Comments

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

Inhabit Cashmere Basic V-CardiganSo. Many. Good. Sales! Nordstrom, Bergdorf Goodman, Last Call… and now one more for you: the Inhabit sample sale is going on, with savings of up to 80% off their amazing cashmere.  Seriously, my Inhabit sweater is one of the softest I own.  I take issue with the styling on the site — everyone looks unhappy that they’ve had ill-fitting sweaters yanked on top of their regular outfits — but hey.  This basic V-cardigan was $338, now marked to $101.40. It’s available in three colors: “vapor” (pictured), brown, and light beige. Inhabit Cashmere Basic V-Cardigan

Suit of the Week: Laundry by Shelli Segal

05/22/2013 By 150 Comments

navy skirt suit 1For 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.

Some people don’t like three-quarter sleeve jackets, but I’ve never had a problem with them — particularly as someone whose arms are apparently just a *touch* too short for most off-the-rack blazers, if they’re an evil, they’re a necessary evil for me.  With that in mind, I really like this pique suit from Laundry by Shelli Segal — the price is right, stretch pique is a great fabric for summer, and I’d probably wear the pieces as separates as much as I’d wear them as a suit. (If you have a summer internship coming up that requires a suit, this would be a great one to expand your collection or even to be the suit you keep in your office.) Due to a big Memorial Day Sale happening, you can take 40% off the entire site, including clearance, so this suit is crazy affordable: The jacket (Laundry by Shelli Segal Notch-Collar Pique Jacket) was $225, but is now marked to $99; with the sale it comes down to $59 (!!!); the skirt (Laundry by Shelli Segal Textured Pique Pencil Skirt) was $145, but is now marked to $69, but with the sale comes down to $41.  Happy shopping, ladies… :) [Read more...]

05/22/2013 By 46 Comments

Theory New Recovery Two-Tone Dress, Dark Navy - was $275 now $96So it turns out Nordstrom is not the only sale in town today — my FB feed is filled with my blogger friends dying over the Bergdorf Goodman 5F Contemporary Spring Fling sale. And oh, it is good, ladies. The 5F contemporary sale is what’s being promoted, but if you cruise around the site you’ll see that there are some major deals in every section, with prices up to 75% off. Lots of lucky sizes left, but great prices — for example, this lovely Theory black/navy sheath dress in dark navy, only available in size 4 — it was $275, but is now marked to $96.  Some of the brands I’m seeing well represented in the sale:  Elie Tahari, Theory, Diane von Furstenberg, Alice + Olivia, Milly, Rag & Bone, Nanette Lepore, and Vince.  A few picks, below (hover over the pics for more info): [Read more...]

Wednesday’s TPS Report: ‘Chelsea’ Seersucker Silk Blouse

05/22/2013 By 192 Comments

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

Elie Tahari 'Chelsea' Seersucker Silk BlouseNordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale for women and kids has started, with savings of up to 40% on lots of good things, including denim, spring coats, Theory, Cole Haan, Stuart Weitzman, and more. I’ll do a deal round-up a bit later this morning, but for today’s TPS I’m liking this lovely white silk blouse from Elie Tahari — the neon placket and black details make it interesting but still classic. It was $248, but is now marked to $148.80 in sizes XS-XL. Elie Tahari ‘Chelsea’ Seersucker Silk Blouse

Coffee Break: Alexis Barrel Satchel

05/21/2013 By 151 Comments

Ivanka Trump Alexis Barrel SatchelIn general, I never, ever wear this color of bag — but I know some women who wear this approximately 400% more than they wear a black bag, so I thought I’d pick it for today’s Coffee Break. (It also comes in a lovely navy, though, as well as a white.) I like the cognac leather mixed with the beige, almost tweed-y fabric, and I like the ring accents. It’s on a pretty good sale, too: it was $150, but is now marked to $89 at 6pm. Ivanka Trump Alexis Barrel Satchel

Coffee Break: Rian D’Orsay Patent Leather Kitten Heels

05/20/2013 By 98 Comments

Rian D'Orsay Patent Leather Kitten HeelsAnn Taylor is offering an extra 50% off of all sale styles, no code needed, through the end of tonight. There are a ton of cute pieces, but for today’s coffee break I’m liking these well reviewed, kitten heeled d’orsay pumps. At 2.5″ they strike me as really walkable (complete with a padded footbed!); and the “sweet biscotti” color will be nude-for-me for some very pale person out there. The shoes were $118, but are now marked to $99.99; with the sale the come to $50. Rian D’Orsay Patent Leather Kitten Heels
