This is a bit more rugged than I usually like for the office, but I’m kind of liking the antiqued vibe. I trust Frye to choose great leather (and have other smart details, like a solid turn-lock closure). I like the striped lining and the smart interior pockets, and at 8″Hx11″Wx2″D I think it’s sized … Read More about Coffee Break: Cameron Small Satchel Bag
Thursday’s TPS Report: Marled Tweed Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Ann Taylor is offering an extra 40% off all sale styles (no code needed), and I’m liking this marled tweed jacket with lavender accents. If you’re unsure about how to wear blazers as separates, a fabric like tweed (with a … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Marled Tweed Jacket
Suit of the Week: Reiss
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. Most colorful … Read More about Suit of the Week: Reiss
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Fit and Flare Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. OK, this will be the last black skirt I post for at least a few days. Promise. That said: I’m digging the 20s vibe to this one — I saw it and for some reason immediately thought of Lady Edith. … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Fit and Flare Skirt
Coffee Break: Cashmere Ruana
Brooks Brothers’ cashmere ruana is on sale! Only two colors are left (heather gray and camel), but so it goes. I think this is a classic, sophisticated look over a blazer for that in-between weather. It was $498, but is now marked to $199.20. Cashmere Ruana (L-2)
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Ottoman Weave A-Line Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: I’m loving the resurgence of the A-line skirt. I particularly like this navy and black woven skirt from Classiques Entier — it looks like it has a crisper structure than most A-line … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Ottoman Weave A-Line Skirt
Coffee Break: Cloie Pump
These shoes caught my eye during last week’s strappy pumps roundup, and a week later I still think they great for what they are: an inexpensive heel from the makers of Hush Puppies. I like the Mary Jane strap, the rounded toe, and the pearlized patent. They’re cheapest at 6pm (priced $36-$47 in purple (pictured), … Read More about Coffee Break: Cloie Pump
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Heldina Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Monday! I continue to like the menswear influence on women’s fashion, including this great windowpane dress from BOSS Hugo Boss. Great neckline, great sleeves, great hem length — and I love the contrast created by the skinny belt and … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Heldina Dress
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Autumn Tweed Sheath Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Prices at 6pm tend to swing around, and this dress has been dipping as low as the $30s and as high as the $60s or $70s in recent days. So I’m happy to report that today it’s $39.99, making it … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Autumn Tweed Sheath Dress
Coffee Break: Color-block Leather Tote
I kind of love everything The Row is doing — they specialize in great basics, but everything just seems modern, fresh, clean, and super lux. Of course, you pay for that (this tote is $3,150) but I like the smart interior partitions, as well as the colorblocking and single handle. The Row Color-block Leather Tote … Read More about Coffee Break: Color-block Leather Tote
Thursday’s TPS Report: Giraffe Hernanda Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I apparently am loving Trina Turk this week. This black and beige silk blouse seems classic but fun at the same time, and even I could wear that beige (says the girl who normally avoids it like the plague). The … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Giraffe Hernanda Blouse
