I don’t have any Stephen Dweck jewelry yet, but I’ve been eyeing these interesting “carved crystal quartz” earrings for a while now. The pros: they’re so interesting and pretty and I’ll bet all of those carved facets catch the light. The cons: they’re expensive ($450) and I worry they look a little too dull for … Read More about Coffee Break: Carved Crystal Quartz Triangle Drop Earrings
Coffee Break: Venn Circle Earrings
J.Crew has some really cool collaborations right now, particularly for jewelry — these simple but cool hoops from Tribe Alive seem like they’d be great for work and beyond. Yes, they are big and break my rule against dangly things, but there isn’t a TON of movement to these to distract people when you speak, … Read More about Coffee Break: Venn Circle Earrings
Coffee Break: High-Fidelity Earplugs
My son has very sensitive hearing, so I’ve been down a million rabbitholes for what the best earplugs are — people rave about these hi-fidelity earplugs. If you’re bothered by noise or have a ton of concerts to go to, these are apparently the best you can buy. I like that they come with a … Read More about Coffee Break: High-Fidelity Earplugs

Frugal Friday: Wrapover Top
This elegant wrap top strikes me as a steal for $25. I like the cuffed sleeves, and although I like the belt it comes with, I kind of like that it’s removable in case you want to mix something higher with the low. The top comes in both red and black, and seems like a … Read More about Frugal Friday: Wrapover Top

Suit of the Week: J.Crew
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 love … Read More about Suit of the Week: J.Crew
Coffee Break: Pearl Crossbody
The Lo & Sons crossbody has, of course, been around for several years now — but I must say I’ve been reluctant on it, in part because it reminded me of something I carried in my teen years. But I’m warming up! I always trust the team at Lo & Sons to put together a … Read More about Coffee Break: Pearl Crossbody

Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Hudson Dress
Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I always like a good notched neckline — it’s less tricky than a straight V-neck (too high, too low, too gapey) but almost universally flattering. I like to stick with round-shaped necklaces like pearls or tiny station necklaces, but that’s … Read More about Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Hudson Dress
