I originally was going to link to this lovely wallet, but then started looking and found this charming little charm billfold wallet. Luuurve the purple saffiano leather, the fun charms, and the PERFECT size for making a lunch run (IDs, cards, etc). It’s even a good price for a (very) nice gift for some lucky … Read More about Coffee Break: Charm Bilfold Wallet
Coffee Break: Town and Field Leather Tote
This was suggested by readers as a great classic bag in one of our recent “next step” conversations (perhaps about upgrading your handbag), and it’s easy to see why — it’s a nice, simple leather tote. I like the interior organizer, the zip top, the 13″ x 15″ x 7″ size, and the 180 positive … Read More about Coffee Break: Town and Field Leather Tote
Workwear Hall of Fame: Juliana Pump 45
There are limited sizes and colors left, but this Cole Haan Air shoe is a classic, and it’s rare to see it almost 70% off. Love the buttery soft suede and the patent cap toe… gorgeous.

Coffee Break: Seymour Textured-Leather Tote
Ooh, I love this 10×15 tote from Anya Hindmarch — the yellow color is so striking, and I think it would be a fun briefcase alternative. I’d wear this color of yellow all year long, but particularly now in the fall as a complement to dark greens, reds, and oranges, as well as a fun … Read More about Coffee Break: Seymour Textured-Leather Tote
Coffee Break: Moonlace Boomerang Multi Print Silk Scarf
Yes, yes, I love a good blue detail — but I also like the mixture of prints on this scarf. What fun! Five different patterns mix and mingle, making this a lightweight statement piece that packs a lot of punch. I’d wear it with a very simple, neutral outfit otherwise, such as a black scoopneck … Read More about Coffee Break: Moonlace Boomerang Multi Print Silk Scarf
Coffee Break: Cherish Tote
Amazon is offering an additional 20% off a ton of bags and shoes, making some sale prices even lower. Take, for example, this tote from Rebecca Minkoff: it was $195, then marked to $136, but with code 20OFFVET it comes down to $109. Nice. It’s a great basic leather tote bag, and at 13″ x … Read More about Coffee Break: Cherish Tote
Coffee Break: Southport Avenue Cameron Bag
Oooh: I like this pretty tote from Kate Spade, now on a pretty steep (50%) discount. I like the interior pockets, the fun lining, the feet, and the fact that it zippers on top — all very important! It’s available in gray, beige, and black, for $224 at Kate Spade New York (final sale, alas). … Read More about Coffee Break: Southport Avenue Cameron Bag
Coffee Break: Samantha Pump
I’m not a big fan of metallic toes, but I love this little accent on these Fitzwell pumps, and I think all of the colors look gorgeous. (It’s available in black suede, pictured, navy suede, black leather, and leopard pony, ha cha cha). I always think of Fitzwell as a comfortable (but affordable) brand, and … Read More about Coffee Break: Samantha Pump

Coffee Break: One-Button Knit A-Line Coat
Oooh: I love this knit A-line coat from Vera Wang Outerwear, which looks professional but feminine. That doesn’t sound like much to write home about, but finding a feminine, flattering coat that looks good on top of other stuff can be difficult — this coat, for example (which also comes in plus sizes), is amazing, … Read More about Coffee Break: One-Button Knit A-Line Coat
Coffee Break: Large Sophie Calf-Hair Satchel
Neiman Marcus has a number of fun bags marked down, including this gorgeous calf hair satchel from MICHAEL Michael Kors. I like the mix of textures, the monogram lining (and pockets) inside, and the general vibe. It was $548, but is now marked to $383 (they also have it in a black/white version). MICHAEL Michael … Read More about Coffee Break: Large Sophie Calf-Hair Satchel
Coffee Break: Cassina Pointy Toe Pump
Yes, these iridescent pumps are a bit wild for work — but I would still wear them for casual days and have fun with them. THAT SAID: they also come in a fun beige texture (faux snakeskin?) and a black patent. I like the 3″ heel, the classic pointy toe, and the sale: the pump … Read More about Coffee Break: Cassina Pointy Toe Pump
