Yes, these are kind of bright colors for pumps, but a) a pop of color is nice — imagine these with an otherwise gray-on-gray ensemble, for example; b) they’ve got good reviews on Nordstrom, and c) 50% off never hurts. Although I love a purple suede pump, I’m kind of leaning towards the blue ones … Read More about Coffee Break – ‘Gardner’ Pump
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: New Julian Two Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I still don’t own a classic DvF wrap dress — in part because I’ve been waiting for a great print that I could say, WOW, I love that. And, after years of waiting, I think I’ve finally found it! I … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: New Julian Two Dress
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Pintucked 3/4 Sleeve Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Coffee Break – Domed Buckle Satchel
I hate the color “mustard.” I really do. So you know I must really be in love when I say that I’ve been eyeing this mustard yellow bag for a few weeks now (although it’s also available in black, orange, and a tan “natural”). I love the dome shape, the buckles (both on the sides … Read More about Coffee Break – Domed Buckle Satchel
Thursday’s TPS Report: T Tahari Cali Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I like the unusual neckline on this blue and navy dress from Tahari, and I like the geometric side insets.

Suit of the Week: Bigio
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. Colorful suits … Read More about Suit of the Week: Bigio
Coffee Break – Soho Croc-Effect Leather 2013 Diary
I usually can resist the allure of high priced notebooks and calendars, but hello: gorgeous, gorgeous notepad from Smythson. Love that electric purple hue, the light-blue paper, and the suggestion that you display it proudly on your desk. (Although: I do wish it were a reusable cover instead of a diary, similar to these composition … Read More about Coffee Break – Soho Croc-Effect Leather 2013 Diary
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Tonal Zigzag Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m not usually a fan of knit skirts, but I am majorly lusting over this one from M Missoni. The vertical zigzag lines (black on black) are amazing, and the crochet-like details on the bottom hem are interesting without being … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Tonal Zigzag Skirt
Coffee Break – Darleen Pumps
Hmmn: not only are these low navy pumps on sale, but the 18 reviews are all overwhelmingly positive. Comfortable! Gorgeous! Walkable! I thought I’d post the navy since it’s always hard to find navy pumps (but note — you can wear black shoes with navy outfits); but these also come in black. They were $99, … Read More about Coffee Break – Darleen Pumps
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Wool-blend blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. There are a few hot-pink blazers out there right now (including this McQueen one), and this pink blazer from Gucci looks gorgeous. Love the clean lines (although: why did the stylist only button the bottom button? see how it looks … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Wool-blend blazer

Coffee Break – Zadig & Voltaire ‘Stellato’ Pump
OMG – I did not know that Zadig & Voltaire is now being sold at Nordstrom! I can’t speak to the comfort of these shoes at all, but I know the brand as a cool place to visit when I’m in Paris, and these shoes are definitely cool. Available in red or black, these heels … Read More about Coffee Break – Zadig & Voltaire ‘Stellato’ Pump
