These 3.5″ heels from Stuart Weitzman look great — simple, classic shape, with a pointed toe (trendy) but not SO pointed that they’ll be out when almond toes come back into vogue. These beige “adobe” heels (pictured) are $355 at Zappos; they also come in black patent; Stuart Weitzman has a few more colors in … Read More about Coffee Break: Power Pumps

Sponsored: Celebrate Mother’s Day with Luxury Flowers from FTD
This is a sponsored post, but written by your usual friendly blogger, Kat Griffin. I don’t know about you ladies, but I’ve been disappointed in some of the online bouquets I’ve ordered for others recently. They all seem just kind of… middling.

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Brooks Brothers has a number of cute things on sale for under $99 (lots under $50!) in their sale section right now. I like this silk georgette blouse in a soft, muted check print.

Suit of the Week: Reiss
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.

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Woven Fit and Flare Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m more a fan of the classic sheath myself, but the popularity of the fit and flare dress is holding strong.

Tuesday’s TPS Report: ‘Erin’ Cotton Poplin Shirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I love the colors on this cotton poplin blouse from Agnes B — and I like the fact that it looks and feels very different than a lot of what’s out there right now.

Coffee Break: Canterbury Scarf with Hidden Pocket
I was Googling something the other day and found this recommended by a travel blogger as one of her must-haves: an interesting scarf that has a pocket designed for your passport. Clever — and a heckuva lot prettier than some of the other things designed to hide your valuables. The Etsy seller has a ton of similar items … Read More about Coffee Break: Canterbury Scarf with Hidden Pocket
