We haven’t talked about demi camisoles in a while, but as summer is almost upon us, and everyone wants to shed unnecessary layers, now is a great time to discuss it. In hot weather, a regular slip or camisole just seems too heavy; they bunch up and they leave lines. Still: cleavage is never work appropriate, which is (often) … Read More about Coffee Break: Halftees
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Mary Bell Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Oooh: I thought I was familiar with the various DvF wrap dresses, but I haven’t seen the Mary Bell before.

Coffee Break: Leather Satchel
I am torn between two bags at Brooks Brothers right now. This dark blue leather satchel looks sophisticated and sleek, and I feel like the Saffiano leather would wear better. But: maybe this bright cobalt one is more me (and it’s on sale for $150-$199, depending on the day). Hmmmn. The pictured bag is $498. … Read More about Coffee Break: Leather Satchel

Suit of the Week: Halogen
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. This pretty … Read More about Suit of the Week: Halogen

Coffee Break: Sable Flats
I’m kind of obsessed with these springy pink suede flats. I love the slight point to the toe, the ankle strap (we all know I love my strappy flats), and the notched dip in the vamp — gorgeous. They do come in other colors — Shopbop has them in red suede and a gray leather … Read More about Coffee Break: Sable Flats

Coffee Break: Carved Small Huggie Hoop Earrings
I always like a good huggie earring — they’re so comfortable to wear, are small and work-appropriate but have a bit more personality than your basic stud, and are incredibly versatile. I like the look of these small carved hoop earrings, on sale today at Last Call — they were $225, but are now marked … Read More about Coffee Break: Carved Small Huggie Hoop Earrings
