cutest and coolest stuff Style Intelligence Report saw out there this
week.
This week, we present to you a perfectly deconstructed women’s sweater and an adorable men’s toggle coat!
For women…

We appreciate the sumptuous drape of the neckline and the buttons placed just so, off the center line.

We’re huge fans of the toggle coat, for men and for women. This particular version features oversized pockets, oversized shoulder detailing, and a hood to help protect your head from the elements.

It’s always been a struggle, finding chic yet comfortable shoes that fit perfectly (pun intended) with an on-the-go lifestyle. To make matters worse for us, the Bay Area’s torrential rains can be entirely unrelenting around this time of year.
So what’s a girl to do? Go on a shopping hunt! We searched high and low and found some wedge pumps, luxurious ballet slippers, streamlined waterproof flats and even a pair of cozy shearling slip-ons that are all suitable for work.
Give us your two cents: Where do you shop for comfortable work shoes?
