I’d wear it with dark … Read More about Frugal Friday’s TPS Report: Long Sleeve Wool Ruffle Blazer
Coffee Break – Vintage Valise Novelty Kendra E/W Tote
I’m always a fan of a colorful bag, and this “beet” Cole Haan tote fits the bill perfectly. (I would call this more of a satchel, but that’s me — I always think of totes as being something bigger!)

Suit of the Week: Mila Schön
For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning. In general, this feature is not about interview suits for women, which should be as classic and basic as you get — instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional.

Coffee Break – Plum Quasar Patent
C’mon, you know I can’t pass up a good purple pump — especially not one on sale. These highly-rated Stuart Weitzman shoes are super high (4.25″!!!) so these are not for the faint-hearted — but if you’re a fan of tall heels, these have your name all over them. They were $298, but are now … Read More about Coffee Break – Plum Quasar Patent
