Amazingly, I don’t think we’ve featured any of the Liberty shirts at J.Crew before. I love this particular print — the white flowers with a touch of teal, pictured against a chalky blue background — it’s not too feminine, not too twee, not too “printy,” just perfect. I’d wear it tucked into a pencil skirt, … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Liberty perfect shirt in Leo scarlet
Coffee Break – 3-Pocket Glasses Stand

Not only do they give your glasses a place to “live,” they also look gorgeous and classy. Prices range from $49-$225; the ash wood one pictured is $180 at … Read More about Coffee Break – 3-Pocket Glasses Stand
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Gathered Printed Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’ve been admiring this skirt for weeks now — I love the romantic but sedate colors, and I think it would look gorgeous with a less voluminous top — a shrunken blazer, a fitted sweater like a turtleneck. It’s $235 … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Gathered Printed Skirt
Coffee Break – Suede Classic Pumps
I normally don’t like to post shoes in lucky sizes, but for purple suede pumps marked 75% off, I’ll break that little rule. I love the deep plum color of these gorgeous shoes, and I think it’s a good sign that numerous commenters asked that Brooks Brothers be added to today’s poll on the top … Read More about Coffee Break – Suede Classic Pumps
Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Angel Two-Tone Stretch-Crepe Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Why are Roland Mouret dresses always so amazing? I’m not quite sure, but if and when I win the lottery, one of those will be one of my first splurges. This gorgeous blue and white dress — with origami-style pleats … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Angel Two-Tone Stretch-Crepe Dress
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I think the bootie is one of the key casual looks for this fall — which is handy since I’ve always been a fan of the motorcycle/Western style with low, stacked heels. These suede Sam Edelmans are rated highly for comfort (one of the Zappos reviewers own … Read More about Weekend Open Thread
Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Easy Waist Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I haven’t seen this feminine little number in person, but I think it has real possibilities to be great. I like the polka-dotted navy pattern, the collarless design, the placket down the front, and the thick ruching around the waist. … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Easy Waist Dress
Coffee Break – Rocco Duffel with Rose Gold Hardware
Fine, fine, fine: I want one. I’ve seen the Alexander Wang Rocco Duffel bag everywhere (around town, on blogs, on TV) and I can’t deny it any more: I want one. One with rose gold hardware, please. It’s $895 at ShopBop. Alexander Wang Rocco Duffel with Rose Gold Hardware (L-2)
Thursday’s TPS Report: Peplum Frill Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Today, I’m liking this stretch jersey peplum jacket. It’s very feminine, for sure, but I think the fact that it’s a jacket and has so many structural seams that it sort of makes up for it. I like it best … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Peplum Frill Jacket
Suit of the Week: Theory
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. Happy Wednesday! … Read More about Suit of the Week: Theory
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Apres Tennis Stripe Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. So here’s the funny thing: I was going to recommend this blazer for a “splurge” a few months ago, but misfiled it (I have systems, people) until a few days ago. So imagine my delight when what was once a … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Apres Tennis Stripe Blazer
Coffee Break – Tamsin Mid Heel Pumps
These shoes make me happy. The little polka dots, the unexpected calfhair, the walkable 2.75″ heel… squee. For the office, I’d wear these with a fairly muted outfit — an all-black ensemble, perhaps, or a navy pencil skirt with a white blouse. They’re $350 at ShopBop.
