Accessories for your suits and other office wear.

  • Coffee Break – Amethyst Snake-Embossed Heel

    This is definitely a “know your office” kind of shoe, but if you can get away with a 1″ platform as well as a fairly wide peep toe, I think these purple heels are gorgeous.

The linen/cotton combo is always a winner with scarves (super soft but durable), and I just love the fresh colors. The scarf was $68, but is now marked to $47.60 at ShopBop. Juicy Couture Chevron…
