I have a few of these kinds of cardholders around, and I must admit — I never use them. So, when I noticed that this one was so highly rated at Nordstrom, I read the comments with curioisty. It seems like a lot of folks use it for when you just want a credit card or … Read More about Coffee Break: Jet Set Card Holder

Suit of the Week: Emerson Rose
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. Huh: Nordstrom … Read More about Suit of the Week: Emerson Rose

Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Baxter Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Sleeves, pockets, and a generally neutral, flattering dress? Sign me up.

Coffee Break: Crosby Nylon Business Tote
This nylon business tote from Coach is in the men’s section of 6pm, but I see no reason why women wouldn’t wear it. (It’s 15″ x 5″ x 13.5″, which doesn’t seem crazy large; the shorter straps are 7.5″ long.) It looks lightweight but structured, has tons of great storage (and a zipper on top, huzzah!), … Read More about Coffee Break: Crosby Nylon Business Tote
