Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Antonio Melani ‘Kay’ Knit Top
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We like this merino wool top by Antonio Melani.

Coffee Break: Double Leaf Earrings
Our Annette Ferdinandsen earrings are some of our favorites — the wires are very comfortable to wear, and her delicate, nature-inspired designs dangle ever so slightly (and we’re normally not fans of dangle earrings for the office).
