I don’t like a lot of post earrings — and lately it seems like when I do find a rare pair that I like, they’re clip-ons. (Readers, do any of you wear clip-ons earrings?) So I’m excited to say that these lovely post earrings are actual posts. I like the bright pop of color, and … Read More about Coffee Break: Immortality Studs

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Peplum Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Monday! I love this burgundy wool peplum jacket by Isabel Marant — the darts, the jewel neckline… lovely. I might try adding a brooch or two (or three) to the shoulder area, but that’s me.

Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. I’m always intrigued to find a basic that has almost universally good reviews, and Hue’s line of denim leggings seems to be one of those things.

Coffee Break: Sophia Leather Satchel
I was recently drooling over a skirt in a similar color from Rachel Roy, but let’s face it: an iridescent leather skirt isn’t going to get a ton of wear, even if you do think leather skirts are ok for the office. An iridescent leather bag, now, that’s a different issue — which is why … Read More about Coffee Break: Sophia Leather Satchel

Thursday’s TPS Report: Salma Aqua Tile Effect Bodycon Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Reiss’s Outlet continues to have a bunch of great deals, including this sheath dress (which, admittedly, is described as “body con,” but to me doesn’t look overly body conscious).
