Reader M wrote in to recommend this leather portfolio at Barney’s, noting: “Alas I don’t have it so I can’t vouch personally (so expensive!), but I’m pretty sure I would DIE of happiness if somebody gifted me this gorgeous, gorgeous zip-around leather portfolio. It should even fit legal size paper, judging from the dimensions.” Le … Read More about Coffee Break – Zip Around Portfolio
Thursday’s TPS Report: Leroy & Perry Leopard Knit Tee
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. For some reason, this morning, I am in the mood for leopard print. There’s a lot of it out there right now (including this lovely cardigan at Piperlime, or this gorgeous blouse left in lucky size 6) but I think … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Leroy & Perry Leopard Knit Tee
Suit of the Week: Akris Punto
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. I originally … Read More about Suit of the Week: Akris Punto
Wednesday’s TPS Report: ‘Luisa’ Silk Jersey Sheath Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Wednesday! I mentioned the new Nordstrom markdowns yesterday — this chic Diane von Furstenberg silk jersey sheath dress is among them. I like the diagonal pattern, as well as the bright yellow throughout the pattern. For the office, I … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: ‘Luisa’ Silk Jersey Sheath Dress
Coffee Break – The Tops and Tails Set
I briefly mentioned that I was looking at this base coat and quickdry topcoat duo from Butter London back when Beauty.com had their big sale a few weeks ago — I got it, and I highly recommend. Not only does the basecoat go on nice and smooth, and the top coat dry super quickly, but … Read More about Coffee Break – The Tops and Tails Set
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Double Face Sheath Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Nordstrom seemed to put a ton of new things on sale yesterday, including some gorgeous, work-appropriate dresses. For today I like this chestnut/black sheath from Rachel Roy. I love the quilted details at the waist, and think this dress looks … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Double Face Sheath Dress
Coffee Break – Old Time Candy
Last December I used a lot of Coffee Breaks for gift ideas, and I thought I’d continue that tradition this year. For today’s coffee break, I thought I’d mention Old Time Candy, a website that sells “retro candy.” They specialize in decade birthdays (Happy 60th! Here’s a selection of candy from the 1950s!) but I … Read More about Coffee Break – Old Time Candy
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Long-Sleeve Dress With Keyhole Back
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Love. This. Dress. I’m not sure how I feel about the head-to-toe red, but the fact that I’m on the fence about it says it’s probably worth trying. But the dress — oh, the dress! Love the wide bateau neckline, … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Long-Sleeve Dress With Keyhole Back
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Woven-Trim Tank
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

This marked-down tank is definitely on the simple … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Woven-Trim Tank
Coffee Break – Ebenezer Leather Shoulder Bag
I first saw this bag at the Shopbop sale last week, in an almost glowing green and navy crinkled metallic leather — and thought, it’s nice, but for $1900 I can’t recommend that as a “sale” item (even though you could have gotten up to 35% off on it with the sale they were having … Read More about Coffee Break – Ebenezer Leather Shoulder Bag
Thursday’s TPS Report: Falling Stones Tee
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I don’t know if this is a new thing from DvF — a cotton t-shirt emblazoned with one of her vintage prints — but I really like the idea of it. Yes, I kind of wish it were silk or … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Falling Stones Tee
