Affordable Office Options

Finding things that you can wear to the office can be a drag sometimes. It's not always something you would wear by choice, or it's just not fun. But that's another reason why we're here to help you. :}
Below are some great options that you can easily wear to work, just as easily as you'd wear it to go out or whatever it is that you like to do.

This maroon embroidered top has just the right details down the middle, making it easy to pair with black pants, and a blazer or cardigan for work. Otherwise, wear it with jeans when you're just out and about with friends.

$34

This could be a bit girly for some, but the knife-pleat collar of this wrap blouse makes a great replacement over your basic white dress shirt. Pair it with your suit and you have a great look pulled together anytime of the year.

$49

The mosaic pink and grey print on this faux-wrap dress is an easy perk to your general office attire. You get the flattering fit of a wrap dress, minus the fuss of figuring out how wrap dresses work.
$42

This teal jersey dress is an easy fit for anything, really. You don't have to wonder what to wear underneath, and the V-neckline is a little different, but still office-appropriate. The fit is a little lower than most empire waists, making it more figure-flattering for the everyday woman.
In person, you'll see a black crochet hem, that adds a minimal but unique touch to this look.

$92

More than Just a Pocket

These new jeans from Hollywood Million Denim have a great basketweave woven pocket! A new denim line made by a woman, for women.

The wash is dark and solid, making it a good neutral pair of slim denim that you can wear with anything. The waistband is wide so that it doesn't gape in the back, nor give you muffin top.

$184

Here's an extra close-up of the pocket

But do excuse the flash, this pair is as dark as the first picture shows.

In addition, if you purchase a pair of Hollywood Million Denim, can choose a charity for Hollywood Million to donate 5% on behalf of you. You can go to www.hollywoodmillion.com and choose among the many charities, that Hollywood Million supports in their Give Back, Give Thanks program.

That Extra Edge

Zippers, studs, and all this other hoopla have been popping up lately. Women of all ages have been piqued by this little number, and you can see why.

The cut and body is a classic silhouette.
The fabric has just a bit of stretch so it hugs you just right.
And of course, that wave of zippers is definitely an attention-getter.

Wear it alone with boots, or patent pumps. Or wear it casual with flats. Either way, you can't go wrong, this one has that extra oomph.

An Interesting Little Number

Yes, yes, I know you, you're the one with all of those black dresses in your closet. "I can't possibly have another black dress!" you say. Well, I can't tell you that you need another black dress, since I'm sure all of the black dresses you have, serve different purposes.

However, if they do not, or if they don't fit as well as you remember, then you need to try this on. The ruffled detail on this V-neck isn't your normal, frou frou girly girl. So it's not over the top, but it's still an interesting pick-me-up in photos (for those that care).

Most importantly, the body of this dress fits really well, which is why I am telling you to give this one a second glance the next time you're here.

$40

Long and Flowy for Fall

I think a good number of you are still afraid of maxi dresses. Generally, most of you have said that you can't pull them off because you're not tall enough. Well heck, none of us are model height. Having a great maxi is like having a great jean, once you have the right one, it fits your body well. And realistically, you will have to hem it for it to look right on you.

This berry color for fall is perfect, not too bright, and not too dark. Also, the comfy jersey body in this simple silhouette is easy to dress up or dress down for whatever you're up to this weekend.

Go on, don't be afraid.

A Little Silver Glitz

A simple A-line silhouette, turned up a notch in silver glitz! Now, I know a few people are afraid of sequins (or possibly dislike), but to the ones that aren't--
"How can I dress this down, it feels a bit... New Year's-ish?" It's what you make of it, so how do you go about doing that? Easy. For the Fall, pair it with a long cardigan (you have the option of belting over the cardigan) and boots, or wear a solid-colored blazer to minimize the glitz effect, yet still look polished.
It also has a cute racerback to make it that much more fun to wear alone!

Our Lips are Sealed, Almost

The last time you were at Peyton's Place, you probably saw this and couldn't resist to ask out loud, "lip scrub? what's a lip scrub?" Don't worry, that peculiar little jar that never fails to raise the question.

Actually, it's quite to the point. Do you use a facial scrub? Well this one does exactly what it says it calls itself, too.

It's an exfoliant for your pout--
1. Because we like to make the decision process a tad more difficult--choose between Peppermint, Almond Creme, Vanilla Bean, Cinnamon Sugar, and Cocoa.
2. Take a bit on your fingertip (a little goes a long way, don't let the jar trick you).
3. Massage your pout for one minute or so... tick tock.
4. Wipe/wash off, and voila! Your pout just had a mini spa treatment.
If you have the chance to indulge yourself on something that will last a long time, arm yourself with the Lip Scrub. You'll wonder how you lived without it. It may sound silly, but it's quite the opposite, for such a simple thing.

Now we also have the Lip Slip, a luxe little balm that you can use alone or after using the Lip Scrub. Once again, you'll find that a little goes a long way.

I love the fact that this balm isn't tacky or sticky. Personally, I prefer using it alone since surprisingly, it holds on pretty well throughout the day alone or over your favorite lip color for a little extra staying power.
