We’re digging this “whiskey” colored bag from Antonio Melani — love the geometric look to the seaming, the flip-lock closure, and the comfortable strap-drop length. It’s $179, only at Dillards.com. Antonio Melani “Stevie” Flap Shoulder Bag
Coffee Break: Dr. Scholl’s Graduate
We’re liking these comfortable flats from Dr. Scholl — heralded by a number of readers in this post as being super comfortable. We like the slight point to the toe, the circular buckle, and the number of different colors available — our favorites are these bronze ones (on sale for $56.70), but Zappos also has … Read More about Coffee Break: Dr. Scholl’s Graduate
Coffee Break: Indo Tracolla Large Crossbody
Zappos seems to have a ton of designer totes on 25-30% discount today, including this lovely crossbody tote, which strikes us as a very rich looking, and functional bag for toting work papers. It’s 17.25″ wide, 5″ deep, and 12.5″ high — love the dotted lining and the chain detail on the detachable shoulder strap. … Read More about Coffee Break: Indo Tracolla Large Crossbody
Coffee Break: Vintage Waist Belt
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
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: Lily Ponytail Holder
Every Sunday, I’ve been tuning in to The Next Food Network Star — it’s a great show (and I totally have a girl crush on Susie Fogelson) but really, I’ve been tuning in to root for my old college friend Aarti, who was my suitemate and next-door-neighbor back in my sophomore year of college. (If … Read More about Coffee Break: Lily Ponytail Holder

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

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
