Coffee Break – Leola Shoulder Bag
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ends on August 1, but there are still some good deals to be had, including this gorgeous purse from Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Congratulations to all of the recent JDs finishing up their bar exam today!

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Coffee Break – Patent Leather Trimmed Stretch Belt
I often talk about belting a cardigan, and this stretch belt on sale at Bloomingdale’s would be just the thing to do it. I like that it’s trimmed in patent leather but is otherwise a stretchy fabric, and I like that it comes in both navy and white. It was $38, now marked to $28.50 … Read More about Coffee Break – Patent Leather Trimmed Stretch Belt

Coffee Break – Quilted Small Tote
This brand is new to me — Olivia Harris by Joy Gryson — but it looks a lot richer to me than a $400 purse (now marked down). Love the taupe color, the quilted detailing, and the fact that the purse extends from 3″ deep to 5.5″ deep. Was $395, now $316 on Zappos Couture. … Read More about Coffee Break – Quilted Small Tote
