I’ve been living in New York off and on for almost 15 years now (yeouch) which means that I have been to the atrocity that is the Barney’s Warehouse sale more than a few times. I haven’t been in quite a while, though — a friend clued me in long ago that you can get … Read More about Coffee Break – Chameleon Pencil Case

The Hunt: The Perfect Camisole
Sure, we all know what basics professional women are supposed to have in their closets, but if you’re buying one for the first time or replacing one you’ve worn into the ground, it can be a pain to find exactly the right incarnation in stores. In “The Hunt,” we search the stores for a basic … Read More about The Hunt: The Perfect Camisole
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Pompom-Trim Drawstring Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This jacket certainly won’t be everyone’s cup of tea — even if spending almost $6000 on a jacket were a non issue! But I love it.

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Plaid Scribble Print Pima Cotton Cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Hooray for Friday! I’m really loving ths “scribble” pattern on this cotton cardigan, available in both pink and black.

Coffee Break: Quene Pump
What an unusual shoe! Gray suede is a great basic, but as always it’s the little details that I love the most — the leather dots sewn onto the toe area, the slight sparkle to the trim, and the nice pattern on the leather footbed (which looks pretty comfortable, actually). It’s part of Amazon’s Designer … Read More about Coffee Break: Quene Pump

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Cashmere Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I love a good sweater blazer — I always think of them as falling into the sartorial space between “a blazer is too stiff” and “a cardigan is too casual.” I like that this one is cashmere, and the deal … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Cashmere Blazer
