Thursday’s TPS Report: Blazer with Waterfall Front
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Waterfall blazers have been around for a few years (the classic silk version, the Becky, is still around) — I must admit I’m still warming to the idea for a conservative office. (What can I say, I just prefer a structured … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Blazer with Waterfall Front
Suit of the Week: Escada
For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning.

I’m not … Read More about Suit of the Week: Escada

Forget Me Not: Business Travel
Here’s a fun question that is hopefully hypothetical: what are you most afraid of forgetting for business travel? What would you go out and buy immediately if you realized you had forgotten it? For me the answer is always my makeup bag. (Or, when I was nursing, some vital pump part.) It’s hard to forget … Read More about Forget Me Not: Business Travel

Coffee Break: Stackers Jewelry Wrap
What are your favorite products (or hacks) for traveling with jewelry? I must admit I usually wear my best jewelry on the plane, and either hang it over a knob in my hotel room or lay it flat on a dresser; I have one girlfriend who swears by looping necklaces through empty toilet paper rolls, then putting them in … Read More about Coffee Break: Stackers Jewelry Wrap
