Accessories for your suits and other office wear.

  • Coffee Break: Alexa Quilted Slouchy Leather Tote

    This tote is one of the bestsellers at Bloomingdale’s, and a few other stores have some options, too, like Zappos, Amazon, and Nordstrom (although Nordstrom doesn’t have the slouchy tote).

Even though I’m not a huge fan of stud earrings, I do like these, which are from a brand called Indulgems. I like the little purple amethyst gem, and these are lovely overall. They…
