I’ve always liked the brand Elliott Lucca for affordable but cute leather accessories, and this city satchel is no different. It comes in a zillion colors (Amazon has some priced as low as $72!) and looks lovely. I like this saturated orchid the best, but there are some great perforated and distressed leathers in the … Read More about Coffee Break: Faro City Satchel

The Worst Career Advice You’ve Ever Heard
What is the WORST career advice you’ve ever heard?
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Velvet Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Ha cha cha. I nearly included some velvet blazers in my roundup of wintry blazers, but ultimately decided not to — although I can’t stop thinking about this bright, saturated velvet blazer. Something about it looks really rich yet classic at … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Velvet Blazer
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Fringe continues to go strong for fall and is showing up on accessories all over the place. I first spied this fun (and highly rated) Frye bag, which at $458 is a lot unless you’re seriously into the trend — but then saw this lovely little tote, which I like better and … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Skater Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I know a lot of readers love this Adrianna Papell dress, so I was intrigued to see some of the brand’s designs on steep discounts at 6PM. The pictured dress is 80% off, with several sizes left, too. I like the faux leather details at … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Skater Dress
Coffee Break: ‘Marion’ Diamond Quilted Leather Tote
Ooh: love the quilted colorful leather here in this Tory Burch bag, which comes in burgundy, pink, black, and two blue options. It looks small, but at 14″ x 10″ x 6″, it is large enough for a letter-size folder, which is typically my minimum size for a “tote.” I like the smart details like the interior zippers and … Read More about Coffee Break: ‘Marion’ Diamond Quilted Leather Tote
Thursday’s TPS Report: Dolman Turtleneck
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Oooh: love this sweater — and so do the reviewers, all of whom note that the picture does not do this super-soft wool/poly sweater justice (particularly the holly green color). I like the little details like the button sleeves, as well as … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Dolman Turtleneck
Suit of the Week: BASLER
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. I’m curious … Read More about Suit of the Week: BASLER

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Easy Breezy Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. 6pm has some great sales on “fun workwear” brands like Nanette Lepore, Kate Spade New York, and Rachel Roy. (Also: this amazing Zac Posen cocktail dress, marked 70% off, and this fun Helmut Lang weekend sweater, marked 60% off.) I’ve pictured … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Easy Breezy Skirt
Coffee Break: Carroll Pump
A purple pump — and a strappy one? Sign. Me. Up. These come in a lot of great colors, including a lovely taupe, as well as two blacks (suede and calf) — but the “oxblood” winey color is my favorite. I like the zipper closure in the back, as well as the 3.25″ heel height. The … Read More about Coffee Break: Carroll Pump
