Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I love so much about this dress: the color, the unusual pleats, the pockets. The price, of course, is not the dress’s redeeming feature, but then, it is a splurge suggestion. It’s $695 at ShopBop. Willow Cap Sleeve Double Tuck … Read More about Splurge Monday’s TPS Report: Cap Sleeve Double Tuck Dress

Coffee Break – Academy coat
Hooray for coat season! I’m really loving this simple “academy coat” from J.Crew. In particular, I dig the sweater sleeves, which double as fingerless gloves — it’s a great way to get the bracelet-sleeved look of Mad Men without the fuss of wearing long gloves. The coat is $325 (online only) and available in sandstone … Read More about Coffee Break – Academy coat

Coffee Break – Snakeskin Leather Heel Pumps
Wow: love, love, love the snakeskin heel on these brown suede pumps. (Note that they’re also available in a gray suede.)

Coffee Break – Raquel Large Tote
Whenever I shop, I take note of which brands I like, and some go on my shopping “bucket list” (things to buy, well, before one kicks the…). When I was in Germany a few years ago, I kept seeing the brand Coccinelle, and I really liked the handbags. At the time I hadn’t seen the … Read More about Coffee Break – Raquel Large Tote
