After today’s earlier post re: accessories, we went off in search of great belts — and found a ton of them at ShopBop. Today we’re particularly liking this vintage waist belt from Linea Pelle — great color and great loop/button details. Love the idea of it belted over a long black cardigan, light gray pants, … Read More about Coffee Break: Vintage Waist Belt
How to Make Outfits Interesting Without Wearing Jewelry
A reader wondered how to make her outfits interesting — without wearing jewelry.
Coffee Break: Naturalizer’s Lockhart
It’s time for end-of-season clearance at Naturalizer — including markdowns on these fabulous zebra-striped shoes. Love the walkable two-inch heel, the conservative buckle paired with the zebra print, and the great padding inside the shoe. It’s also available in black leather and a great “saddle tan” leather. Was $79, now $39.99. Naturalizer Lockhart (Pssst – … Read More about Coffee Break: Naturalizer’s Lockhart
Coffee Break: High Fashion Tote
OK, so we’re not sold on the name (they couldn’t come up with anything better than “3023 Drawstring Tote”?) but we like the look of this product. Love the vertical stripes of alternating leathers, as well as the nice size — it’s 15.25″ high, 14.25″ wide, and 3″ deep, with an 8″ shoulder drop. Also … Read More about Coffee Break: High Fashion Tote
Coffee Break: Maddox Flats
Today we’re liking these Maddox Flats from Fossil. For starters, they have a great comfort rating on Zappos (always important!); we also like the buckle detail on the toe. While we like the sand color (pictured), it should be noted that there are a ton of other colors — mostly with a brown buckle. Ladies … Read More about Coffee Break: Maddox Flats
Coffee Break: Brahmin ‘Manning – Louise’ Satchel
A reader saw this bag while checking out Nordstrom’s anniversary sale this morning and noted, “I think it’s a great work bag– the red is an eye-catcher, and the black is classic.”
Coffee Break: Taryn Rose Fierce
Today we’re liking this basic black peep toe from Taryn Rose, which has great comfort ratings at Zappos. We like that the heel is under 3″, and that the shoe comes with arch support. The fact that it’s on sale doesn’t hurt — it was $475, now $299.25. Taryn Rose – Fierce (Black Nappa) – … Read More about Coffee Break: Taryn Rose Fierce
Coffee Break: RoadID WristID Elite
I know that many readers of this blog are outdoor exercisers — runners, bikers, and walkers. If you’re like me, you worry about things from a safety perspective. (Warning: morbid thoughts comin’ up.) On the one hand, you want your ID on you in case you’re hit by a car or otherwise incapacitated — but … Read More about Coffee Break: RoadID WristID Elite
Coffee Break
We’re liking this great shoulder bag from Monserat de Lucca. We like the braided detail, the multiple pockets (both outside and in), the two optional handles, and the gorgeous, lovely color. It’s $297 at Bluefly (was $495). Monserat de Lucca grey leather ‘Trenza’ braid detail shoulder bag
Coffee Break: Emily High-Heel Platform Mary Jane
We always forget about Johnston & Murphy for women’s shoes, but they consistently have some really cute heels. Today, we’re liking these “cognac” platform Mary Janes — we like the tiered look to the leather, as well as the color. The price isn’t bad, either — was $228, now $89 — but if you buy … Read More about Coffee Break: Emily High-Heel Platform Mary Jane

Coffee Break: olsenHaus Grace 2 Peep Toe Pump
We’re in a peep-toe kind of mood today, and we’re loving these lovely pumps from olsenHaus (which, apparently, has no connection to the fashion empire of those other Olsens). In addition to being ridiculously cute and having a heel below 3″ (the combo is hard to find), the shoes are also vegan. We like the … Read More about Coffee Break: olsenHaus Grace 2 Peep Toe Pump
