Ice.com has been on my mind lately,* so I “wandered” over to the site today to check it out — and fell in love with these gorgeous black agate, ruby, and diamond sterling silver earrings. They’re beautiful without being blingy, and — bestill my beating heart! — have a comfortable leverback instead of a post. … Read More about Coffee Break: Black Agate, Ruby & Diamond Sterling Silver Earrings

Looking Young — or Acting Young?
A 31-year-old attorney worried she wasn’t getting job offers because she looked young. So we talked about the difference beween looking young — and acting young.
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Leopard-Striped Cashmere Sweater
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I am loving the look of this cashmere sweater, on deep discount at Last Call by Neiman Marcus. The diagonal stripes are interesting (as is the fact that they’re a leopard print!) but the sweater itself is a subdued gray … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Leopard-Striped Cashmere Sweater
Coffee Break: Barbarella Pump Wave
I saw this shoe mentioned somewhere recently as one of the highest-rated heels for comfort, and have had my eye on it. The “smokey teal” color, pictured, is particularly fun — but it also comes in the more sedate black, brown, and “camel.” The shoe is normally $130, but with the Cyber-Monday deals going on … Read More about Coffee Break: Barbarella Pump Wave
Cyber Monday Sales from The Affordable Style Network
This is a sponsored post written by Kat Griffin, but brought to you by The Affordable Style Network. Noteworthy Cyber Monday sales seem few and far between this year, but I like the extra 25% off that the various stores in The Affordable Style Network are offering — especially given the low (extra low!) (really … Read More about Cyber Monday Sales from The Affordable Style Network
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Stretch Wool Gabardine Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Ah, holiday sales. It was this time, just a few years ago that the Saks sale was so good that people whispered the company was going bankrupt. That hasn’t seemed to have happened, but the Saks sale is still quite … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Stretch Wool Gabardine Dress

Bargain Wednesday’s TPS Report: Cap Sleeve Sheath
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Macy’s has some great sales going on right now, including this lovely dress from Rafaella. Love the pleated neckline, the banded waist, and the ladylike length. It’s $37.49 at Macy’s (sizes 4-14 as of this AM). (Oh, and there’s free … Read More about Bargain Wednesday’s TPS Report: Cap Sleeve Sheath
Suit of the Week: Theory
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, which should be as classic and basic as you get — instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional. This is a lovely … Read More about Suit of the Week: Theory
My Visit to TJ Maxx HQ
In my law school days, I was a huge fan of TJ Maxx — I’d spend many a study break roaming the aisles, looking for treasure (and finding it more often than not — I once got a pair of Armani trousers there, deeply discounted to $80.) Still, I haven’t been a regular shopper there … Read More about My Visit to TJ Maxx HQ
