I posted this necklace’s sister last week on CorporetteMoms (because hey, every pregnant/nursing mama looks good in a statement necklace), and I meant it when I said it: I’m obsessed with this entire collection. I’m not even one of those people who thinks snakes are cool/sexy/whatever! Something about this lucite/ruthenium necklace — with accents of … Read More about Coffee Break: Lucite Imperial Noir Snake Link Necklace
Coffee Break: Legacy Studded Large Envelope Satchel
Botkier is one of my favorite brands, and I love the subdued hot pink color to this large satchel. At 12.5″ x 19″ x 5″, it’s big enough for most file folders as well as a ton of other stuff. It’s also available in a caramel brown and a lovely gray for $320 at Last … Read More about Coffee Break: Legacy Studded Large Envelope Satchel
Workwear Hall of Fame: Margot Pump
Everyone knows that I love a good purple pump — but I’m not a huge fan of Nine West, normally. Still, this shade of purple is SO right (and the shoe SO highly rated — and available in a zillion different colorways!) that even I would give it a shot. They’re $79 at Zappos (and … Read More about Workwear Hall of Fame: Margot Pump
Coffee Break: Etsa Long Double Breasted Coat
I seriously think this is going to be the winter of the coat! I like this mint-green wool number from Steven Alan — it’s so unusual to see such a light color, and it’s really fresh and fun. The collarless style is a big one for fall, and I like that this coat is long enough … Read More about Coffee Break: Etsa Long Double Breasted Coat
Coffee Break: The Bentley
Oooh: I liked these shoes and was going to link to the stores that still have them at full price ($275), like CUSP… but then I realized that both 6pm and Amazon have them on sale! I love the mixed textures here, the walkable heel, the pointier almond toe, and the suede straps on the vamp. … Read More about Coffee Break: The Bentley
Coffee Break: Go-To-Glamour Wristlet
The jeweled print may or may not be your favorite design, but I think this wristlet is incredible, particularly if, like me, you tend to switch bags often by having a pouch system in your purse. This one is on the big side (11 x 1 x 8) which makes me think it would be … Read More about Coffee Break: Go-To-Glamour Wristlet
Coffee Break: Audrey Patricia Brief Tote
I am normally not an orange person, but this bright, happy tote looks wonderful — professional yet bold and fashionable. I’d wear it with reds (ooh, especially a nice red jacket), pinks, blacks, navy, and cobalt blue. It was $298, but is now marked to $180 at 6pm. Lodis Accessories Audrey Patricia Brief Tote Psst: … Read More about Coffee Break: Audrey Patricia Brief Tote
Coffee Break: Diema Pump
I was looking through one of our old posts on comfortable heels the other day and noticed that a few readers had recommended this particular style from Calvin Klein a few years ago. I was impressed to see that it’s still available, full price, in numerous colors — this is the mark of a solid … Read More about Coffee Break: Diema Pump
Coffee Break: ‘Cadence’ Demi Wedge Pump
Oooh, hello gorgeous. These black wedge pumps look like they are awesome — sophisticated but comfortable at the same time. It’s a 3.5″ heel with suede and elastic panels — Nordstrom and CUSP both have it for $285. Tory Burch ‘Cadence’ Demi Wedge Pump Here’s a less expensive option, and a comfort option.
Coffee Break: Glazed Leather Tote
I found this nice looking tote while looking for comps to last week’s splurgey coffee break, the Milly tote, but I liked this one enough to feature by itself. I like the gray and blue combo, which seems like a lovely neutral, but it’s also available in black/brown and black patent. It’s $198 at Macy’s. … Read More about Coffee Break: Glazed Leather Tote
Coffee Break: Skinny Print Calf Hair Belt
How many belts is too many belts? I rarely wear belts, to be honest, but when I saw this lovely calf hair polka-dotted belt marked to $12 I had to snap it up. Green is trending right now, but this belt is also available in red and blue for $12, and a cheetah print for … Read More about Coffee Break: Skinny Print Calf Hair Belt
Coffee Break: ‘Basingstoke’ Wool & Cashmere Coat
There’s already talk of the polar vortex returning this year (and I believe it, given how mild a summer we’ve had here in NYC!), so I suggest we all stock up on nice winter coats we like now. This wool trench from Burberry looks like it means serious business in the warmth department — but … Read More about Coffee Break: ‘Basingstoke’ Wool & Cashmere Coat
