Coffee Break: Maison Boinet Brick Red Calf Hair Wide Belt
I love this fabulous red calf-hair belt — what a great way to add some pizzazz to cardigans, pencil skirt/blouse combos, and more. It looks a lot more lux than it’s priced — it was $198, then marked to $117.99, but at Bluefly today it’s $70.79 (also available in black).
