These lovely Taryn Rose heels are on sale in both leopard (pictured) and a solid dark ruby; Zappos still has them full price in black. Just looking at them I would have guessed they had a 3″ heel, but they actually have a 2.75″ heel — and a .5″ platform (who knew?), which makes these … Read More about Coffee Break: Teaneck Pumps

Thursday’s TPS Report: Sweet Pea Wrap Top
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m always a fan of wrap blouses (although I often supplement with a professional camisole beneath), and this bestseller from Sweet Pea looks full of promise, even for someone who generally hates beige clothing. I’d add a gold necklace, maybe an … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Sweet Pea Wrap Top
Suit of the Week: Brooks Brothers
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. OK, I … Read More about Suit of the Week: Brooks Brothers

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Wool Shell
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m not a fan of wearing sleeveless shells beneath blazers (I prefer sleeves beneath suits because it lets you dry clean less) but some women disagree, hating the bulkiness of sleeves (among other reasons, I’m sure). So if you’re in … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Wool Shell

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Javanese Haven Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This isn’t the most fascinating jacket on the planet, but it’s a great basic — and this is a great sale. I like the textured fabric (perfect for a blazer-as-separate), the single button, and the welt pockets. As for the … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Javanese Haven Jacket
Coffee Break: Oval Drop Earrings
I like these black resin earrings — particularly for a blonde. (I always feel like dark earrings get lost in my dark hair!) I particularly like that these have a smooth setting — I don’t think they’ll move around and be a distraction for whoever you’re talking to at the office. They’re $44 at ShopBop. … Read More about Coffee Break: Oval Drop Earrings
