We are loving these shoes from Sofft as a vintagey alternative to a regular pump. The super high vamp makes them very walkable, but we think the way the vamp dips down will be more attractive than, say, a Mary Jane or t-strap shoe. For some reason, we’re seeing them with a swingy A-line skirt. … Read More about Coffee Break: Gaige Pumps

When and How To Wear Hats
Reader E writes to us with a request for an accessories post on hats: I would love to see a post on how to wear hats, not winter hats, but some of the more structured 50’s-esque hats that seem to be everywhere.

Coffee Break: Damisi Patchwork Leola Satchel
I’m always a fan of Marc by Marc Jacobs bags, and this lovely satchel is no different — LOVE the print on the inside, the numerous pockets, and the size. I’m normally not a brown-purse kind of gal, but the caramel color strikes me as just right. It’s $369 (was $528) at ShopBop. Marc by … Read More about Coffee Break: Damisi Patchwork Leola Satchel
