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

How much do you spend on bags? After our discussion on Tuesday regarding whether a reader should spend $2100 on a bag that she was different from what she normally carried, reader E wrote in with this comment: After reading your post yesterday regarding expensive, professional bags, I wonder who out there can afford such … Read More about How Much Do You Spend On Bags?
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.

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Shawl Collar Sweater
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This silk/cashmere sweater caught my eye in green last week, striking me as a more lux version of the Vince Camuto wrap top I posted a few weeks ago. 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
