These pumps from Enzo Angiolini look great — I love the squared off details on the vamp, and the d’Orsay styling looks chic. The shoe is available in both black and white stripes (pictured) as well as a plain beige for $99 at Zappos. Enzo Angiolini Caelina Update: Drat, just realized these are available in very … Read More about Coffee Break: Caelina Pumps
Coffee Break: Boutique Tote
A friend of mine just got this bag, and I have to say, I’m pretty impressed for a $30 bag. The brand has a ton of nice looking, well-reviewed, stylish bags, and many of them have intelligent little details, like colored linings, interior pockets, and more. For today’s Coffee Break, I liked the look of … Read More about Coffee Break: Boutique Tote
Coffee Break: ‘Medium Pashli’ Leather Satchel
Hmmn. Azure? Or electric blue? Azure? Or electric blue? Phillip Lim’s very popular 3.1 satchel hasn’t been my favorite in the past — I just wish it were big enough for, say, a legal-sized notepad — but these two (two!) new blue colors are both calling my name. So: azure? Electric blue? Azure? Electric blue? … Read More about Coffee Break: ‘Medium Pashli’ Leather Satchel
Coffee Break: Single Breasted Hooded Trench Coat
It’s finally starting to feel like spring, including warmer temperatures — but not so warm you can’t go out without a coat. I’ve always like a bright rain coat for the days when I’m not wearing a blazer; this happy yellow one from Steve Madden looks great. (Personally I hate the double-breasted trench, but if … Read More about Coffee Break: Single Breasted Hooded Trench Coat
Coffee Break: Tivoli Flat – Original Collection
I would definitely end up tripping if I tried to wear these shoes, but if you can wear shoes like these, these flats from Dr. Scholl’s look great — fashion forward, flattering, versatile, and, according to reviewers, comfortable. They’re well priced, too: $88, full price (also available in a gold). Dr. Scholl’s Tivoli – Original Collection … Read More about Coffee Break: Tivoli Flat – Original Collection
Coffee Break: Sydney Shopper
We’ve featured Fossil’s classic tote bag, the Sydney Shopper, several times here on the blog — but this bright, happy pink just makes my day.

Coffee Break: Geometric Print Scarf
Oooh, pretty! This scarf feels like summer to me — the orange! the red! the yellow! the teensy pop of blue! Love it. It’s a linen blend, also perfect for summer. It’s $155 at Nordstrom. Tory Burch Geometric Print Scarf Here’s a lower-priced scarf in a similar print. (L-3)
Coffee Break: Nesting Desk Set
I am lately obsessed with the color combination of coral and teal. It’s a hard look to pull off in outfits or interior design, but I like this small, happy pop of color here with this desk set from Poppin, which has tons of bright desk supplies. The nesting desk set is $16. Paperboard Coral + … Read More about Coffee Break: Nesting Desk Set

Pretty! I like the teeny tiny diamonds in these small gold triangles — they look chic yet classic at the same time. They’re $331, available at Ylang 23. WWAKE Diamond Triangle Earrings (L-2)
Coffee Break: Catalina Wedge
Oooh: I know we just did a round up of beige pumps, but these beige wedges are getting rave reviews on Zappos. I like the almond toe and the way they covered the heel with the patent leather as well (so many beige wedges resort to a wood or cork material)! They also come in … Read More about Coffee Break: Catalina Wedge
Coffee Break: ‘Bond’ d’Orsay Leather Pump
We’ve had a fairly conservative week thus far — a black suit! beige pumps! a white blouse! — so I’ll admit: I was on the hunt for a really colorful, playful pair of heels. These Sergio Rossi pumps were strong contenders, but then I saw these Kurt Geigers — while less crazy in color, that … Read More about Coffee Break: ‘Bond’ d’Orsay Leather Pump
Coffee Break: ‘Luna Pearl’ Fluted Earrings
I love pearls, and I hate post earrings, so it is perhaps not surprising that I really like these pearl earrings with lever backs from Lagos. Two things to note: First, these are pretty big earrings — 12MM — but that can be a great look, particularly for a woman with more of a preppy vibe. Second, I would not … Read More about Coffee Break: ‘Luna Pearl’ Fluted Earrings
