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
Coffee Break: ‘Depoe Bay’ Pump
We’ve noticed this shoe before, and now the comfort ratings have us totally mesmerized — we like this Jeffrey Campbell pump, particularly in the brown, but also in the black and the khaki. We like the decoration — the buckles and O-rings are fun and reminiscent of saddles — and the brown tone keeps things … Read More about Coffee Break: ‘Depoe Bay’ Pump

Coffee Break – Bandolino Shelley Pumps
We love the look of these peep-toes from Bandolino and, judging by the 46 glowing reviews on Zappos, they’re not just another pretty shoe. We like that they come in a zillion colors (including the almost tortoise-shell-like print pictured), and the price is great, ranging from $53.06 for some colors to $58.95 for others. Bandolino … Read More about Coffee Break – Bandolino Shelley Pumps
Coffee Break: Stuart Weitzman’s Daisy Pump
Today we’re loving this classic shoe from Stuart Weitzman. The serpent print is a great “neutral” with some personality — it also comes in a gray “snake” print, a multi-colored “serpent” print (all of the prints for $285) and a red and a basic black leather (both on sale at Endless for ~$150.) Zappos also … Read More about Coffee Break: Stuart Weitzman’s Daisy Pump

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

Is it a bad idea for an intern to carry a $9000 bag?
Coffee Break: Harveys Seatbelt Bag
Today we’re liking this lovely Lola bag from Harveys. It’s made from seatbelts (yes, really) so you know it’s durable, but we like the slight ruffled component to it. We wish the bag were a bit bigger — for anyone taking home piles of paperwork this weekend, you won’t be able to fit too much … Read More about Coffee Break: Harveys Seatbelt Bag
Coffee Break: Lacoste Women’s Belvoir 150 Flat
Reader Z wrote in to us about these lovely flats: “I just got these in today, and they’re beautiful! I have the black – it’s subtle and work appropriate for people who can wear flats, and the quality is amazing. Can’t beat the price.” Nice! The purple/brown (pictured) strikes us as an interesting shoe to … Read More about Coffee Break: Lacoste Women’s Belvoir 150 Flat
