Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I’m going to be honest: I hate the “collar” look that’s going on right now. They so often look “little girl” or just plain “fug.” (I particularly hate the “add a collar” trend — I would almost always prefer a … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Lace Collar 3/4 Sleeve Sweater

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

Thursday’s TPS Report: Falling Stones Tee
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Tales from the Wallet: Who Manages the Money In Your House?
Who manages the money in your house — you? your partner? everyone? This came up recently with a friend, and I thought it might be an interesting open thread. For those of you without a partner, do you want to stay in charge of your finances — or will you be happy to give that … Read More about Tales from the Wallet: Who Manages the Money In Your House?
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Shawl Collar Sweater
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Obviously, there are differences — a much higher neckline, and this … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Shawl Collar Sweater
Coffee Break – Cynthia Pump
I love the look of these cheetah pumps from MICHAEL Michael Kors — there’s also a black snake version that’s quite nice (albeit a bit more subtle than, you know, cheetah). A sale never hurts, either: these were $160, but are now marked $99-$109 at Zappos today. MICHAEL Michael Kors – Cynthia Pump (Cheetah) – … Read More about Coffee Break – Cynthia Pump
Coffee Break – Exotic Leather Skinny Belt
Purty…. I like this textured snakeskin belt in hues of blue, green, and black. I can see it being a really distinctive but versatile piece — wear it with all black, navy, teal, or possibly get creative and try it with dark purple. Lovely. It’s $34 at Ann Taylor (use code MONDAY to get an … Read More about Coffee Break – Exotic Leather Skinny Belt
