Coffee Break: Collins Tote
Hello, lovely: this tote has a ton of things that I’m in favor of. Pebbled leather, feet, interior pockets, and a slightly moto edge to it (although I’m also reminded of Coco Chanel’s layered necklaces, for some reason) — all thumbs up in my book. It’s $465, available in black and gray, at Nordstrom. (Note … Read More about Coffee Break: Collins Tote
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Sonar Knit Long-Sleeve Blazer
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I looove this cool inverted-collar blazer from Helmut Lang. The company offers a number of pieces (including a dress) in this “sonar knit,” so I asked customer service at Neiman Marcus what that meant. They responded: “Sonar-knit is a process … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Sonar Knit Long-Sleeve Blazer

Coffee Break: Architettura Candle
My mother raised me to generally dislike what she called “dust catchers,” and this is definitely that — but it’s gorgeous. I’d burn the thyme, lavender, and cedarwood (yum!) scented candle at home, and then use the ceramic jar on my vanity, coffee table, or yes, at the office. It’s $190 (yeouch), exclusive to Net-a-Porter. … Read More about Coffee Break: Architettura Candle
