We’ve seen a lot of shoes like this over the past few years, but this one may be one of my favorites. First, I like the fact that the shoe is made from printed leather, not satin, tweed, or plastic.

How do you “shop your closet”?
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’ve been eyeing this Sloan Sheath from BR for a few weeks now — it comes in multiple colors, multiple sizes (0-16, regular, tall, petite), and has mostly good ratings. The wild orchid (pictured) and “lava” are still full price … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Sloan Sheath

As spring weather s-l-o-w-l-y arrives, now is a great time to swap your cashmere and wool scarves for cotton ones. I’m liking the fun little print on this black scarf from Marc by Marc Jacobs — I think it would work well with a variety of coats (or blazers worn as coats), and 6pm has … Read More about Coffee Break: Vivie Print Scarf

We’ve talked about how to change careers, and even tried to collect people’s 5-year career goals, but we haven’t really talked about HOW to plan your career, and I’m curious to hear what readers say.
