We've mentioned Ferragamo's classic pump, Carla, before (most recently during our discussion of specific styles for "investment heels") but something about the shoe is really calling my name this week -- I love that taupe, the bow, and the reasonable 3" heel. Bluefly has a few lucky sizes of a fuchsia color, marked down to $400, and Zappos has a few more colors (including a great new style with piping).

How to Choose the Best Office
If you could pick any office, which would you choose? What factors would help you choose the best office? Reader C wonders... I'm thrilled to have accepted a new job! I'm an attorney in my late 20s making a lateral move to a mid-size boutique firm after five years with my current shop. Of all the things on my to do list, one is really stumping me.In discussion with the office manager of my new firm-to-be, we arranged a day for me to come by in a week to deal with paperwork, etc. before I ...

Tuesday’s TPS Report: ‘Playing Favorites’ Quince Belted Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I love the classic lines of this dress, as well as all four colors it's offered in. I'm kind of meh on the belt it comes with -- I'd probably swap out my own skinny belt, or ignore the belt loops entirely and add a wide belt (ooh, like the WHBM one from last week). This dress is $159 at Dillard's. Antonio Melani 'Playing Favorites' Quince Belted Dress Two plus-size options are here and here. Psst: ...

Coffee Break: Miss Havisham Crystal Encrusted Snake Chain Collar Necklace
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale may be over for the year, but Bloomingdale's has a huge sale going on right now -- save an extra 50%, for a total savings of 60-80% off. I'm a fan of all things Bittar, and this crystal-encrusted snake necklace is no different. I think it's a great necklace that is delicate but still makes an impact -- a new kind of statement necklace. It was $195, but is now marked to $109.69. Alexis Bittar Miss Havisham Crystal Encrusted Snake Chain Collar Necklace (L-2) ... Read More about Coffee Break: Miss Havisham Crystal Encrusted Snake Chain Collar Necklace
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Sleeveless Cotton Shirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. If you're into slightly avant-garde pieces made from preppy classics, this Victoria Beckham sleeveless blouse is for you. LOVE the interesting take on the self-tie at the neckline (sometimes called a "secretary blouse" or, sigh, a "pussy bow blouse"). I like the resulting off-kilter V-neck, the almost shawl-like effect, and the fact that you can dress it down with skinny jeans (as shown here) or up with a ...
