Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Hannah Jersey Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We did a roundup about a year ago of sleeved dresses with pockets, with my theory that they’re the perfect thing to wear to a conference if you don’t need to wear a suit. It’s very difficult to find them, … Read More about Wednesday’s Workwear Report: Hannah Jersey Dress
Coffee Break: Anagram Reversible Leather Belt
I was hoping to do a Hunt a while ago about belts and the problem I bumped into is that they’re kind of boring!

This Loewe belt, though, is too gorgeous to not mention in a … Read More about Coffee Break: Anagram Reversible Leather Belt

Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Tweed Lady Jacket with Ties
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I saw this lovely tweed coat in the store, and it’s sort of like a fun take on the Chanel jacket. The frayed tweed is very textural and colorful — the online images don’t quite show how much it has … Read More about Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Tweed Lady Jacket with Ties
Coffee Break: 3-Pack Hair Tie & Clip Set
Here’s a question I don’t think we’ve talked about in a while: what KIND of hair accessories do you use the most? Are you a fan of the simple elastic-on-the-wrist (bonus points if it matches your hair, but I must admit I always just have black elastics against my brown hair) to use for a … Read More about Coffee Break: 3-Pack Hair Tie & Clip Set

Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I’m still ho-hum about crossbody bags for work, but most of my other objections (mostly arising from my dislike of crossbody straps as a busty woman) are wearing down because a lightweight crossbody bag is SO great for running errands on the weekend. This slate gray Tumi … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Coffee Break: Grommet Flat
Over the weekend I did a roundup of the big Nordstrom Summer Sale (ends 9/10!) — but it’s worth noting again that it’s not all shorts, sandals, and sundresses. Case in point: these gorgeous, deep red grommet flats from reader favorite brand AGL. I’m not usually a grommet girl, but the color mixed with the … Read More about Coffee Break: Grommet Flat
