Tuesday’s TPS Report: Heidi Puff Sleeve Top
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Reiss is having some killer sales right now, with prices up to 70% off — I love the swirly print on this black and white sillk top. Simple and gorgeous (and, alas, limited sizes only as of this AM).

Coffee Break – Patent Leather Trimmed Stretch Belt
I often talk about belting a cardigan, and this stretch belt on sale at Bloomingdale’s would be just the thing to do it. I like that it’s trimmed in patent leather but is otherwise a stretchy fabric, and I like that it comes in both navy and white. It was $38, now marked to $28.50 … Read More about Coffee Break – Patent Leather Trimmed Stretch Belt
Open Thread: What Are Your Favorite Apps?
I’ve complained before that I had a dinosaur of a phone — a Treo 755 — due to my loyalty to both Sprint and to my 10+ years of history with a Palm Pilot. I finally bit the bullet and bought a new phone — the Samsung Epic 4G, an Android phone available from Sprint. … Read More about Open Thread: What Are Your Favorite Apps?

Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Silk Cashmere Cable Cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Silk cashmere — two of my favorite words when describing sweaters. Silk cashmere blends tend to be extremely soft and non-itchy, and I’ve found that they hold their shape far better than simple cotton cardigans (but they are warmer; something … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Silk Cashmere Cable Cardigan
Coffee Break – Quilted Small Tote
This brand is new to me — Olivia Harris by Joy Gryson — but it looks a lot richer to me than a $400 purse (now marked down). Love the taupe color, the quilted detailing, and the fact that the purse extends from 3″ deep to 5.5″ deep. Was $395, now $316 on Zappos Couture. … Read More about Coffee Break – Quilted Small Tote
