The below content is about the 2011 Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale. The Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale continues (see my top picks), and there are still a ton of great pieces left… including this chic colorblocked satchel. Personally I like the ink/violet/forest combination (pictured), but it’s also available in a more subdued black/fawn/charcoal combination.

Tuesday’s TPS Report: Davina Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Coffee Break – Rose Gold Huggie Earrings
We all know I’m a huge fan of huggie earrings for the office (as in, hoops so small they “hug” your ears) and Etsy seller 360 Jewels Elite has a wide selection. It’s a mystery to me why the earrings are described as “men’s earrings,” but let’s put that aside — I’m digging these simple … Read More about Coffee Break – Rose Gold Huggie Earrings

Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Cashmere Knit Jacket
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy Monday! I am loving this simple blazer from Akris.

Coffee Break – Ashby Wedge Pump
I’m really into wedge heels this season, and I like this reasonably-priced shoe from Naturalizer. I like the plain black leather one, myself, but the Naturalizer site has them in a black and gray croc pattern, Amazon and Zappos both have them in a brown croc, and Piperlime has them in a lovely wine. They’re … Read More about Coffee Break – Ashby Wedge Pump

Thursday’s TPS Report: Ruched Sleeve Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Do not adjust your screens: yes, wow, that is a really bright pink dress.
