Oooo — we love these patent ballet flats from Cole Haan, with cute lacing up the back that is reminiscent of both shoelaces and corsetry all at the same time. We like the Estate Blue (pictured), but there’s a light purple for your more adventurous days and, of course, your basic black and neutral. They’re $138 at Endless.com.

You know, it has been far too long since we expressed our love for purple shoes. (Unless we’re crazy and we did it last week, in which case, our apologies.) They go with navy and black, they add a dose of funk (in a conservative way), and, in general, they’re great. We had not seen the “plumeria” color in Cole Haan before — but we must say, we’re loving it. They’re $278 at Zappos. Cole Haan – Carma OT Air Pump (Plumeria Snake Embossed) – Footwear
(Note to readers — gauge your office culture before wearing open-toed shoes like this; they are inappropriate in the more conservative spaces.)

We love this large satchel/tote (8″ shoulder drop) from Cole Haan, with its woven leather exterior, and rich, sophisticated red color — we even love the name of the red: Lacquer Red. Like all Cole Haan bags there are special pockets inside for your technology, and the bag is roomy enough that you should be able to fit everything else, as well. It’s $431 at Zappos.

What a great summer bag! The straw-colored canvas, the snappy kelly green leather — le sigh. It’s a great price at eBags at the moment, too — now $199 (was $350). Cole Haan Sabra Canvas Box Tote

Update: eBags has another 20% off sale going on right now — it’s valid sitewide, which should include this bag. Wild Wednesday: Extra 20% OFF at eBags.com

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We begin the week in splurge mode, with our most expensive suggestions, and wind our way to Friday, where a less expensive item of clothing might be just what you need to make it to the weekend.

A great nude pump is a summer staple. It can take some hunting to find the right shade that matches your skin, but once you find it, your legs look long — infinite! — but barely noticeable. We’d suggest checking out Cole Haan’s popular line of Fiona pumps — blessed with Nike Air technology, they are legendary for their comfort. We particularly like that the low heels here are walkable — and that Zappos has them 33% off. Was $298, now $200. Cole Haan – Fiona Low Air Pump (Sand Embossed Snake) – Footwear
