Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Ooooh: love these Michael Kors boot-cut crepe pants.

Coffee Break – White and Black Diamond Hoop
I was recently introduced to the shop LooptyHoops, which specializes in hoop earrings — including some lovely huggie earrings (my personal favorite for the office). I’m currently lusting after these white and black diamond hoops — they’re sparkly yet understated at the same time, and so much more interesting than the normal boring diamond posts. … Read More about Coffee Break – White and Black Diamond Hoop

Thursday’s TPS Report: ‘Françoise’ High Neck Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Yes, this is a bit boring, but my guess is that this silk blouse will quickly become a wardrobe staple.

Coffee Break – Closed-Toe Slip-Ons
Oooh: I first spied these in the black/gray/blue combo, but when I saw the purple I knew it was fate: I love these purple pumps from Fornarina. I love the way the purple leather details wrap around the front of the shoe — almost as if it were a peep toe, but I believe this … Read More about Coffee Break – Closed-Toe Slip-Ons
