Zappos has a ton of cute Stuart Weitzman bags and shoes on sale, including this lovely blue bag. Now I’ll admit, I have a mild obsession with blue bags — I once had to put a moratorium on buying them because I had 3 different blue bags — but that’s only because they’re surprisingly versatile. … Read More about Coffee Break – Sunny Flamenco Round Bag
Coffee Break – Eloise Satchel
Zappos has a number of Botkier bags on sale today, and I love this dark green satchel. In addition to having super soft leathers and beautiful colors, I like Botkier bags for the intelligent pockets — and this Eloise stachel is no exception. Was $545, currently marked 20% off to $436. Botkier – Eloise Satchel … Read More about Coffee Break – Eloise Satchel
Coffee Break – Valise Jenna Shoulder Bag
The classic pocketbook shape is becoming more and more popular (which I suppose is a nice change from all the hobo bags I’ve bought in the past few years, and the east/west bags before that) — and I’m loving this one from Cole Haan, currently on sale at Zappos. It’s available in dark aubergine (pictured) … Read More about Coffee Break – Valise Jenna Shoulder Bag
Coffee Break – Treesje Coco
Treesje bags are one of my new favorites — they’re well-made, interesting, and have a slight rock star quality to them — and for some reason Zappos has a ton of Tressje bags on sale today. I like the Coco bag — the gray perforated leather reminds me of lux things like driving gloves, and … Read More about Coffee Break – Treesje Coco
Coffee Break – Kaida Kitten Heel
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I love a kitten heel for the office. This style from Fitzwell has numerous reviews extolling the comfort and style, and I really like the starburst pattern on the vamp. It’s available in “pewter” (pictured), black patent leather, and (in calf leather) black, brown, and navy. … Read More about Coffee Break – Kaida Kitten Heel
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Seamed and Tucked Twofer Dress
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I really like the look of this “seamed and tucked twofer dress” from Max and Cleo. The scoop neck, the puff sleeves, the simple pencil skirt: all look cute but flattering and professional. I might wear it with an opera-length … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Seamed and Tucked Twofer Dress
Coffee Break – Croco East/West Collins
I have a number of Dooney & Bourke bags, and every time I pull one out to wear it impresses me — I love the way they keep their saturated color, and I love the quality of the leather and the little details, like the long key fob. Today I’m liking this bright green shoulder … Read More about Coffee Break – Croco East/West Collins
Coffee Break – Air Lainey 55
For those of you who prefer lower heels, Zappos has a great deal on this Cole Haan pump with a 2.5″ heel. Love the buckle detail, as well as the snake print on these heels. They were $218, but are marked today to $121 on Zappos. Cole Haan – Air Lainey Tantivy Pump 55 (Platino … Read More about Coffee Break – Air Lainey 55
Wednesday’s TPS Report: Kylie Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. I really like this ombre jacquard skirt from Kate Spade New York, on sale at Zappos today. The pattern is less obviously horizontal than a lot of the stripes we’re seeing this season, and, I think, more flattering. I’d wear … Read More about Wednesday’s TPS Report: Kylie Skirt
Coffee Break – Elinor Tote
Love the look of this tote bag from Hobo International. The shiny vintage leather is nice, and the big ball snaps on the “coin purse” on the front of the bag are interesting but not distracting. Love that there’s a print lining to the bag and that it has enough pockets to make it useful; … Read More about Coffee Break – Elinor Tote
Coffee Break – DKNY Burnished Pleated Flower Large Hobo
I love the look of this burnished leather hobo from DKNY, available in burgundy (pictured, available at Zappos for $206.50), gray (also available at Zappos, for $221.25), green (available at Endless for $228.27 and Amazon for $202) and dark blue (available at Amazon for $177.) I like the pleats on the bag, the general size, … Read More about Coffee Break – DKNY Burnished Pleated Flower Large Hobo
Coffee Break – Aquamarine Pump
For today’s coffee break, I’m in the mood for something bright and colorful — and this vibrant yellow heel from Seychelles quenches that thirst. Love the way the vamp is high enough so you can walk in it, but not so high that it strangles your leg, and love the low, solid heel. It’s on … Read More about Coffee Break – Aquamarine Pump
