Sponsored: Winter Layering Fun with Adea
Disclosure: this post is sponsored by Adea, but written by your regular friendly blogger Kat Griffin. We first talked about Adea, a company focused on luxurious layering pieces, back in May — some of the pieces they sent me have become favorites of mine (they really are super lux but easily washed, as I noted … Read More about Sponsored: Winter Layering Fun with Adea
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Sleeveless Shift Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This dress looks kind of amazing. Wide boatneck, interesting back cutout (but still appropriate for work, I think — ladies, what do you say?), flattering seaming in the front, and interesting pleating. And it’s still available in sizes 2-16, and … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Sleeveless Shift Dress
Coffee Break: Ainsley Jenna Shoulder Bag
6pm.com has a pretty decent sale on Cole Haan (clothes, bags, shoes, everything). I’m liking this Jenna Shoulder Bag, which I have in a slightly different version — it’s one of my favorite purses. Like mine, this one looks like it has supple leather and great interior organization (as well as a few extra pockets … Read More about Coffee Break: Ainsley Jenna Shoulder Bag
The Best Stores for Maternity Wear
We’ve talked about the best stores for workwear for tall women, for petites, and for plus sizes; the last one we’re going to talk about is the best stores for maternity wear. Spoiler alert: the choices are never great — but they have expanded quite a bit since I was pregnant (and since we last … Read More about The Best Stores for Maternity Wear
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Belted Peplum Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m not a big fan of the styling here (those pants! and give the model a sandwich!) but this avant-garde jacket from David Szeto seems really promising. It’s unusual, interesting, and very artistic — but it still reads like a … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Belted Peplum Jacket

Thursday’s TPS Report: Tuileries Top
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I have mixed feelings about Peter Pan collars. That’s not true — I normally hate them. Something about this silk/viscose top is making me rethink that, though — I really like the half placket, the pleating, and the drape of … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Tuileries Top
