Coffee Break: Cole Haan Prudence Small Soft Tote
In the “sometimes a good sale is a curse” department, Endless is having an amazing sale on bags right now (ends today), including bags like Cole Haan, botkier, Rebecca Minkoff, Kate Spade, and more. Four separate Cole Haan bags are currently hurtling their way through the mail to me via free shipping. (Three are going back, I swear.) But: Yes. Good sale. One of the bags I bought was this Cole Haan bag, which I’ve lusted after in the department store — supremely soft, nice size for when you don’t need to carry papers or notebooks, and can go from work to weekend without much problem. Was $428, marked to $235.40 (in black and red); price drops to 164.78 with 30% special offer. (It only shows up at checkout!) Also available in gray (for $428). Cole Haan Prudence Small Soft Tote

We found this fabulous … Read More about Suit of the Week
Beauty Wednesday: Clinique High Impact Lip Colour SPF 15
With warmer weather upon us, I finally decided to set out on a new hunt for lipstick — and I’m really liking the one I went with. As soon as I tested it, I liked the way it felt on my lips — not sticky, not drying, just comfortable. Almost like a gloss, but with … Read More about Beauty Wednesday: Clinique High Impact Lip Colour SPF 15

Coffee Break: Circa Joan & David Marietta
Reader A wrote in to tip us off to this lovely heel, noting that it’s the “most comfortable summer work heel I’ve had in a while.” Nice!
