I’ve always been a big fan of Furla bags, and this red croc-embossed leather satchel looks like a gorgeous, work-appropriate tote. At 10″x13″x4″ it could certainly be bigger, but this would be a great daily (or interview bag) for a lot of us. (Note that this dark burgundy and navy look great together!) There’s also … Read More about Coffee Break: Martha Medium Satchel Bag

In “The Hunt,” we search the stores for a basic … Read More about The Hunt: Silk Button-Front Blouses

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Monday! I love the crisp pintucks and darts on this classic-yet-creative Marni dress — and the thick hem at the bottom and yoke on the back is really cool. The white piping at the neckline is lovely, too. (On … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Sleeveless Crepe Cady Dress
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Nordstrom just started its spring sale, and there are tons of cute things — the lingerie in particular was jumping out to me today.

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Fine Gauge Supima Cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. It seems like the twinset has been a dying species for a few years now — so I was intrigued to see Lands’ End carrying numerous colors of fun, printed cardigans with matching short-sleeved shells. (Not all of the cardigans … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Fine Gauge Supima Cardigan
Coffee Break: Robinson Medium Leather Tote
Le sigh… I’ve been stalking this “storm blue and bright blue leather tote” for weeks now, and I love it. The textured leather, the internal pockets, the very ladylike look… love. There’s a bigger version, too, but the satchel here is $495. Siiiigh…. Tory Burch Robinson Medium Leather Tote (L-2)

I think it’s a fun, summery piece … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Three-Button Striped Knit Blazer

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. Happy Wednesday! … Read More about Suit of the Week: Tahari ASL
Desk to Dinner Makeup: The Best Products to Take a Daytime Look to Night
Which makeup do you find indispensable for the desk-to-dinner refresh/transformation? I just realized the other day that we’ve never really talked about this (although I’ve certainly touted the individual products that I love enough), so I thought we should discuss. {related: what to avoid in “desk to dinner” dresses} For my $.02, if I’m meeting … Read More about Desk to Dinner Makeup: The Best Products to Take a Daytime Look to Night
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Contrast-Trim Cashmere Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: my favorite, softest, most luxurious, best cashmere sweater is Autumn Cashmere.
