Something on your mind? Chat about it here. For weekend wear, the farthest we might venture into the “peep-toe bootie” trend is this Matteo pump (which even then is technically not a bootie). We like the fact that it’s beige (elongates the legs), has a platform (easier to walk in) and dips down in the … Read More about Weekend Open Thread

Coffee Break: Saba Necklace
This strikes us as an amazing alternative to a classic 16″ pearl necklace — love the color, and the pop of blue — and there’s something nice about being able to answer the question “what IS that made of” with “vintage red Ethiopian ‘tomato’ glass, Bali silver & sapphire nugget.” We’d wear it with a … Read More about Coffee Break: Saba Necklace
Poll of the Day: Will You Wear a Peep-Toe Bootie to Work?
