Something on your mind? Chat about it here.

Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Button Detail Boatneck T
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. The color is really what drew us to this basic long-sleeved t-shirt — love that blue.

Coffee Break: Taryn Rose Sirena Patent Loafer
Endless has some great sales going on right now, including a fair amount of Taryn Rose shoes. We like these simple black patent loafers — we particularly like the teeny heel and the very slight point to the toe. They were $395, now $225; still available in sizes 6.5-9.5. Taryn Rose Women’s Sirena Patent Loafer … Read More about Coffee Break: Taryn Rose Sirena Patent Loafer

Coffee Break: 1 Layer Twist Ring
We like this simple twist ring from Nervous System. We like that it’s flexible (not prohibitive to typing), and, honestly, that it’s kind of weird — inexpensive jewelry should always be something a little off the beaten track. We like that it’s almost a cocktail ring in size, but without the distracting bling. It’s available … Read More about Coffee Break: 1 Layer Twist Ring
