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. It’s not often that … Read More about Suit of the Week: Halogen

Sponsored Post: Thomas Laine’s Statement-Making Jewelry
This post is sponsored by Thomas Laine, but written by your usual friendly blogger, Kat Griffin. I met the entrepreneur behind Thomas Laine — a woman named Eimear Thomas — a few months ago at a networking event, shortly before the jewelry site launched. I was interested, but it wasn’t until I attended a December … Read More about Sponsored Post: Thomas Laine’s Statement-Making Jewelry

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Cashmere Twisted Cable Cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This cashmere cardigan (a Neiman Marcus exclusive) is new to the sale section, and I think we have that to thank for the number of sizes still left. I like the interesting twist detail at the collar, and like the … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Cashmere Twisted Cable Cardigan
Coffee Break: Safia Hobo
I like the look of this simple canvas hobo. It has a metallic wash, so it looks slightly leathery, but isn’t — my guess is that it is both lighter than leather and sturdier than plastic. At 11.5″ high, 19″ wide, and 6″ deep, it’s a big hobo, but I tend to prefer big hobos … Read More about Coffee Break: Safia Hobo
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Vivienne Westwood Grey Stripe Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I always like a good Vivienne Westwood jacket — they’re feminine but also a bit — I don’t know, gutsy somehow. I particularly like the stripes on this one, and the interesting way that the stripes on the collar go … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Vivienne Westwood Grey Stripe Jacket
Coffee Break: Easy Spirit Pumps
Reader A sent in these shoes — and they look to be great purple pumps. I like the buckle detail on the front, as well as the stripey detailing on the toe and heel. They’re available in black and purple for $39.97 (buy 1, get 1 50% off!) at Easy Spirit (available in sizes 6-12, … Read More about Coffee Break: Easy Spirit Pumps
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Ruffled Trench Coat
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I always feel like outerwear is a good place to invest because a) you can wear it every day during the season, and b) if you invest well, you’ll have it for years. Today I’m liking this slightly different take … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Ruffled Trench Coat
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I’m liking this “Beam of Light” dress from ModCloth for weekend/evening wear. I would wear it now in the winter (out to a nice dinner with the hubs, perhaps) with a black boyfriend cardigan and colorful, jewel-toned tights. In the summer (for an evening cocktail party?), I’d … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Pleat-neck 3/4-sleeve top
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Banana Republic has a great sale through 2/6 — 25% off full-priced items with code BRSUPER25. I like this three-quarter sleeved tee — the colors are lovely (plum wine, pictured, sunbleached blue, as well as your basic white and black) … Read More about Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Pleat-neck 3/4-sleeve top
Coffee Break: Skinny polka-dot silk belt
This belt is the current object of my obsession. Love, love love the white polka-dots edged in green, the navy belt, the pink buckle — fabulous. Yes, it’s probably the kind of thing you’ll see knocked off at Forever21 for about $9 (which is a shame, I think), but for the moment, this high-end, glorious … Read More about Coffee Break: Skinny polka-dot silk belt
