Fun! Everyone needs a colorful wallet (so it’s easier to find in your bag), and I like this purple one from Marc by Marc Jacobs. I particularly like that the pattern just reads as a standard dot print until you look closer and see that it’s rows and rows of stars. It was $98, but … Read More about Coffee Break: Reluctant Stars Zip Wallet
