Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. For some reason, everything I wanted to post today is sold out (darn it) or down to lucky sizes only. Boo.

One of these days I’m going to have to add a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag to my collection because I’m constantly drooling over the Classic Q line.

For some … Read More about Suit of the Week: Akris Punto

Coffee Break: Siren Call Flats
I originally had my eye on these 3.5″ wedge heels to post, but then I started looking through all of the Seychelles shoes (so. many. cute. wedges!) and found these adorable mini-wedges — basically flats.

Coffee Break: Delia Asymmetric Patent Pump
I was perusing Bergdorf Goodman’s “just in” items the other day and suddenly found myself obsessed with these pumps (pictured on someone modeling leather leggings). On closer inspection, I fell even deeper in love — the textured patent leather! The adjustable ankle strap! And, of course, that asymmetric vamp strap. Lurve.
