There are lots of Cleo B shoes on sale at ASOS — and while I’ve never heard of the brand before, they look like they all have a slightly interesting and inventive take on your normal conservative pumps and slingbacks. Take the heel of the purple suede wedge, for example — I like the artistic curves … Read More about Coffee Break – Cleo B Jamila Suede Wedge Shoe

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. So, speaking of sheer blouses: I really like this one from Equipment. I know, blues — I’m so predictable!

Coffee Break – Joelle Card Holder
Love this light blue lizard print card holder from Reiss. I like the different compartments, too — that way you can keep the business cards you collect separate from your own ones for handing out. It’s $55 at Reiss. Joelle Card Holder (L-2)

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: ‘Sao’ Printed Silk Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Something on your mind? Chat about it here. There are almost 400 comments in the first thread and it’s only 12:30 on Saturday! So I thought I’d open a new thread.

Coffee Break – Apollo Hobo
I have long been a fan of Botkier bags, and own three myself — the bags all have super soft leather, smart details (pockets, feet, keychains, etc) and an ever so slight rocker vibe to them. I’m digging this hobo on clearance at eBags. The bag seems the right size to be a “big” hold … Read More about Coffee Break – Apollo Hobo
