Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Whether NYC gets 3 or 30 inches of snow this weekend, it seems pretty sure that it’s going to be an unpleasant, yucky weekend.

Coffee Break – Jethro Woven Leather Shoulder Bag
Ooh: mama like. I love the texture to the woven leather bag, the single leather handle (although it apparently comes with an additional detachable shoulder strap?) and the magnetic fastenings at top. At 2.4 lbs it’s a bit of a heavy purse, but if that isn’t an issue, it looks like a gorgeous bag. It’s … Read More about Coffee Break – Jethro Woven Leather Shoulder Bag

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
