Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Today we’re liking this regal red number from Carolina Herrera. Love the side pleats on the one shoulder, and the way they continue to the hem; it’s also great to see an asymmetric neckline again. The dress is made of … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Side-Pleat Dress
Coffee Break: Brahmin ‘Manning – Louise’ Satchel
A reader saw this bag while checking out Nordstrom’s anniversary sale this morning and noted, “I think it’s a great work bag– the red is an eye-catcher, and the black is classic.”
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. We’re digging this fun dress for a summer day — we like the unusual color and pattern, as well as the fact that the reviewer suggested it was great for a larger chest. (Summer dresses can be a challenge for larger chests, what can we say?) It’s … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Love this deep red dress from Kay Unger.

It’s … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Red Silk Belted Cap Sleeve Dress

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Love the muted, calming reds, blues and pinks of this Marc by Marc Jacobs dress.

Tuesday’s TPS Report: New Vogue Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This strikes us as a lovely dress — in a bold color. We’d probably mute this for everyday office wear — a tweedy khaki-colored blazer, or a cable-knit gray sweater — we think we’d want to add texture as well … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: New Vogue Dress
Coffee Break: Darleen Pump
We like the look of this pump from Joan & David — particularly because it’s only a 2.5″ heel, which is our preferred shoe height. It comes in both black and brown, and the black is on sale today — was $88, now $79 at Endless. Circa Joan & David Women’s Darleen Mid Heel Pump … Read More about Coffee Break: Darleen Pump
Coffee Break: Kooba’s Piper Bag
We’re not sure if it’s an official sale or what, but Zappos seems to have a ton of totes on sale for 20% to 30% off. We’re liking this hip take on a briefcase/tote from Kooba, a brand we know and love well — the leather is particularly luscious and soft. The berry color strikes … Read More about Coffee Break: Kooba’s Piper Bag
