For today’s TPS, I’m loving this bright yellow silk blouse on deep discount at Dillard’s. The ruching, the sleeves, the woven silk — no wonder there are only lucky sizes left.

Coffee Break – Elisa Handbag
I’ve always liked Brahmin handbags for quality, but this season they’ve got some amazing colors out — namely “Wisteria” (the plum pictured here in an Elisa handbag) and “Peacock,” a teal. The colors are dark — almost brooding! — but they pop all the same. The web does not do these beauties justice, especially with … Read More about Coffee Break – Elisa Handbag

Wednesday’s TPS Report: Asymmetrical Neckline Belted Sheath Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. This gray Tahari dress reminds me a lot of the popular J.Crew Origami dress — the neckline is very similar, but the sleeves look a bit different, and this gray suiting material looks very different than the wool crepe used … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Asymmetrical Neckline Belted Sheath Dress
Coffee Break – Amethyst Snake-Embossed Heel
This is definitely a “know your office” kind of shoe, but if you can get away with a 1″ platform as well as a fairly wide peep toe, I think these purple heels are gorgeous. Love the snake-embossed leather, the suede accents, and it’s my favorite shade of purple. They’re $118 at White House|Black Market, … Read More about Coffee Break – Amethyst Snake-Embossed Heel
