Coffee Break: Vere Barrel Handbag

Coffee Break: Vere Barrel Handbag

Oooh: a lot of places are having big sales on designer items right now (including Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Saks!) but ShopBop’s 50% off sale may be the one to beat. This colorful barrel handbag from Anya Hindmarch was $2295, but is now marked to $1147. Only a few bags are left in this exact…

We’ve included this pump from Trotters in a number of our roundups of the best low heels, but I don’t think we’ve ever highlighted it in its own post.

This Sam Edelman flat looks like it was inspired by the popular Chloe flat — but it has a much more affordable price. (Also check out this flat from the same brand, which we’ve featured before in our guide to the most comfortable ballet flats for work.) The pictured shoe is at Amazon in 12 colors for as…
