Tuesday’s TPS Report: Argyle Gauze Cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

And it doesn’t hurt that they’re having a sale today — 20% off all sweaters, prices as marked. This gauzey … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Argyle Gauze Cardigan
Coffee Break: Venere Wedge Pump
I like the look of these wedge pumps from Geox, which are marked down at a variety of places. They look like your classic, simple wedge, and I think that the suede (once waterproofed) would make this a great shoe for spring and early fall.

Coffee Break: Embossed Lizzie Spotless Hobo
This “vivid lizard-embossed” tote by Marc by Marc Jacobs has me drooling — love the color, the size, the shape, the organization, the multiple carry options, etc. Gorgeous. It’s 30% off at ShopBop (was $328, now $230) and Revolve Clothing; Nordstrom also has the cross-body style of the same purple print marked down to $152. … Read More about Coffee Break: Embossed Lizzie Spotless Hobo

I don’t … Read More about Suit of the Week: Reiss
