Nordstrom has a number of cute accessories on sale right now, and this caught my eye — as part of our handbag discussions last week I know some folks had mentioned people who require an extra chair for their handbag, or only set it down on a napkin. I’ve always been less than fussy myself … Read More about Coffee Break: ‘It’s in the Bag’ Handbag Hanger
Coffee Break: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Mini
After Tuesday’s discussion on “designer bags,” I was intrigued to see that some people considered Coach or Dooney a designer brand while others scoffed at the idea and suggested only a $1000+ bag could be designer. Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see much said about the “emerging” designer bags,which can offer quality, style, … Read More about Coffee Break: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Mini

Coffee Break: Caroline Pleated Leather Tote
Love this leather bag from Badgley Mischka Platinum Label, available in both black and brown. The pleats look great, and while I normally don’t like the look of the crossbody, I could actually see this one being a versatile look. The bag was $498, but as part of Bloomie’s sale it’s marked to $373.50. Badgley … Read More about Coffee Break: Caroline Pleated Leather Tote

Coffee Break: Alpine Forest Classic Shoulder Bag
This bag caught our eye a while ago — we’ve always loved Orla Kiely designs, but some of her prints can be a bit *much* for the workweek. This gray bag walks the line beautifully — the muted shades of gray and brown are subdued enough to carry into a conservative office, but the print … Read More about Coffee Break: Alpine Forest Classic Shoulder Bag
Coffee Break: Marina Large Satchel
Dark, dark burgundy seems to be the new color this season, including this lovely Charles David bag (also available in black, charcoal, and camel). I like the sunburst detailing on the front, as well as the interesting hardware for the straps. And it’s a great sale, too — was $350, now $192.50 at Endless.com. Charles … Read More about Coffee Break: Marina Large Satchel
Coffee Break: Jung Jewels
I got an e-mail a week or so ago from Irene Jung, the woman behind this stunning necklace (and, apparently, a Corporette reader) — she just recently launched her jewelry business on the side. As she noted, “all of my pieces combine vintage materials with semi-precious stones and beads. You may initially think that my … Read More about Coffee Break: Jung Jewels
Coffee Break: Reversible Loop Scarf
Fall is here! We’re huge fans of infinity scarves in general, but we particularly like these reversible scarves from Affordable Scarves — it’s always fun to mix prints, and these scarves take the guesswork out of it. Available in red/grey (pictured), black/grey, and yellow/grey — was $17.95, now $14.49 at Affordable Scarves. Reversible Loop Scarf … Read More about Coffee Break: Reversible Loop Scarf
Coffee Break: Reflection Symmetry Laptop Sleeve in Blue
Whoa: I did not know that a) Jonathan Adler designed laptop sleeves, or b) Modcloth carried Jonathan Adler designs! This happy blue color and the abstract print strike me as just enough to make you feel special, but not self-conscious, when you pull your laptop out of your bag. The case is $29 and available … Read More about Coffee Break: Reflection Symmetry Laptop Sleeve in Blue
