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

Suit of the Week: Ann Taylor
For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning.

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Side Gathered Crepe Sheath Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This dress isn’t amazingly exciting — but it’s the kind of wardrobe workhorse that you wear year-round, can dress up or down, and keep for years. I think it would look great for the office with a strand of pearls, … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Side Gathered Crepe Sheath Dress
Coffee Break: Paint Nite
The hardest gift to get can be for your significant other (or someone similarly close). My latest thing with my husband is getting him/us experiences (either as a couple’s activity or a “get some baby-free time to yourself, love!”).

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Lolly Watermark Jacquard Sheath Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Ooh, pretty. This wool blend sheath dress is such an unusual color, I love the abstract, artistic print. The leather trim (and perhaps the fabric blend) makes it “dry clean only,” alas. I’d probably keep it simple and wear it … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Lolly Watermark Jacquard Sheath Dress
Coffee Break: Momofuku Milk Bar
‘Tis the cookie season — for sending across the country to family and friends, for bringing to parties, for overindulging in general. One of my favorite, favorite (favorite!) indulgences here in NYC is David Chang’s Momofuku Milk Bar, which ships across the US and to Canada. The treats are delicious but just a bit unusual … Read More about Coffee Break: Momofuku Milk Bar

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I know some fashion people for whom Helmut Lang is ne plus ultra.

Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Behold: the perfect long necklace to jazz up simple tops (such as this morning’s dress, or turtlenecks, or pretty much anything). I have a similar one like this and, although I’m more of a silver/platinum gal, it’s one of the few pieces of gold-colored jewelry I wear. … Read More about Weekend Open Thread
