New company Jordana Paige caught my eye a while back because I know folks are always on the lookout for quality vegan bags; here the bags are made from “vegan faux crosshatch leather.” The company was nice enough to send a bag to me, and I liked the material, the shape, and all of the smart … Read More about Coffee Break: ‘Cora’ Tote
Tuesday’s TPS Report: ‘Donida’ Elbow Sleeve Sheath Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. If you’re the kind of girl who loves sleeves on your dresses, this is the dress for you. I love the high, flattering neckline (I’d stick with a round, short necklace — pearls or a very delicate necklace without a … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: ‘Donida’ Elbow Sleeve Sheath Dress

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Long-Sleeve Wool Club Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Aaaah, gorgeous. Bergdorf’s has this in both black and gray — it’s clean, simple, and classic. Lovely.

Rag & Bone Long-Sleeve Wool Club Jacket Here’s a lower-priced … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Long-Sleeve Wool Club Jacket
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: High Waist Wrap-Look Pencil Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I like this skirt because it feels a bit more daring than it is — the high waist and the long wrap could go wrong (to say nothing of the cobalt linen!) but because it’s a faux wrap it looks … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: High Waist Wrap-Look Pencil Skirt
Coffee Break: Gilia Pumps
Oooh: I do love a good cutout, and here there are fun details at the ankle as well as on the vamp — I’m in love. I like this beigy snake, which feels like a fun neutral, but there are also actual neutrals: a greige and a black. Zappos has them at full price, but Nordstrom has … Read More about Coffee Break: Gilia Pumps
Thursday’s TPS Report: Cashmere V-Neck Cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Suit of the Week: Talbots
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. As noted … Read More about Suit of the Week: Talbots

Wow: I haven’t seen this dress before, but they seem pretty confident in its awesomeness, considering it comes in about 8 colors and patterns.

Coffee Break: Quilted Leather Tote
Yes, boring black — but hey; it’s great for a capsule wardrobe. I like the three glowing reviews of this bag, interestingly from women ranging in age from 20-65 — and I think the texture makes it look a lot more lux than it is. Even better, it’s on sale: it was $298, but is … Read More about Coffee Break: Quilted Leather Tote
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Linden Draped Jersey Sheath Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This dress is like a tall drink of water — it seems easy but elegant.

Coffee Break: Druzy Earrings
I really love all things druzy, so I’m loving these simple earrings from Etsy seller Geminmind — she has a number of different white druzy earrings with various birthstones; I’ve pictured the peridot earrings here (August birthdays, rejoice). I particularly like these earrings for work because there is no movement to them, if that makes sense … Read More about Coffee Break: Druzy Earrings
