Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Reader K wrote in to recommend this sweater, noting “It makes a great transition piece between seasons.

Coffee Break – Serena Hobo Bag
Zappos seems to have a number of Kate Spade items marked down still, and this Serena hobo caught my eye.

Open Thread: The Best Notebooks
When we talked about the best pens a few weeks ago (which I’m still in the process of trying out — many of the ones mentioned by the readers were subsequently sent to me by Jet Pens, so thank you! — others I’ve bought myself) some of the readers noted that we should also talk … Read More about Open Thread: The Best Notebooks

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Happy hump day! Love, love, love the look of this dress from Talbots.

Coffee Break – Reba Flats
Zappos has some great sales on Elizabeth and James shoes today, and I find myself intrigued by these interesting flats.
