Zappos has a number of nice-looking Aldo purses for surprisingly affordable prices. This purple “Fretwell” (also available in cognac/bronze) looks great. I love the faux ostrich leather and the dark, dark purple. It’s (wow) $48 at Zappos. ALDO – Fretwell (Purple) – Bags and Luggage (L-2)

Holiday Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. So last year, I started noticing lots of New Yorkers and other fashion bloggers wearing these Sorel boots.

Frugal Wednesday’s TPS Report: Graphic Framework Blouse
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Yes, yes: I love a good print.

Coffee Break – Commando Tights
We are firmly into fall right now, and that means I am thinking tights.

Coffee Break – Loose Rib Knitted Snood
Hmmn: I’m kind of loving the idea of a snood right now. It’s a scarf! It’s a really chunky necklace! It’s a cowl neck! It can even be pulled down and worn around your shoulders, a bit like a wrap/shrug. Asos has a nice looking one in a variety of fun colors, including a lovely … Read More about Coffee Break – Loose Rib Knitted Snood
