This looks more like an outdoor than an indoor jacket to me — but I’d probably wear it as both, truth be told. I like the bright blue and the seam details, and the high funnel neck. It was $395 (and the black still is), but this happy bright blue is marked down to $180. … Read More about Coffee Break: Verona Seam Detail Jacket
Coffee Break: Gardner Pump
These Joan & David pumps look very similar to old reader favorite the Gila pump, but with a bit fancier of a cutout. These lipstick red patent pumps look absolutely gorgeous, although the light brown, navy, bronze, or black (all patent) are also all good. There’s a blue suede that is also calling my name (of … Read More about Coffee Break: Gardner Pump
Coffee Break: Ruby Mini Hoop Earrings
I always love me a good huggy earring, and this mini hoop from Ileana Makri looks like it fits the bill. I like the hinge back with the super teeny hoop (10mm), and I think the ruby color would look gorgeous against most, if not all, skin tones. The earrings are $1,050 at Barneys (also … Read More about Coffee Break: Ruby Mini Hoop Earrings
Coffee Break: Madison Leather Small Phoebe Shoulder Bag
This Coach bag is one of Zappos’ best sellers, and it’s easy to see why — it’s available in 12 bright colors and has none of the logo madness that Coach has been known for in recent years. The 52 glowing reviews speak of sumptuous leather and intelligent organization — lovely. The light pink ruby (pictured) is … Read More about Coffee Break: Madison Leather Small Phoebe Shoulder Bag
Coffee Break: “Wicked” Head Wrap
These highly-rated headbands are apparently perfect for a workout — I could see them being particularly great when you’re working out at a company gym or a gym near the office and actually care what you look like. They come in a zillion colors and are marked $15 (2 for $25). Sweaty Bands “Wicked” Head Wrap … Read More about Coffee Break: “Wicked” Head Wrap
Coffee Break: Herringbone Double-Breasted A-Line Coat
A month or so ago I was in church (so it must have been Easter; I’m a bit of a Christmas Catholic) and saw a woman with a fabulous, interesting, distinctive coat. It had personality! It had style! It really made you think, wow, that’s an amazing coat, and she must be really cool to … Read More about Coffee Break: Herringbone Double-Breasted A-Line Coat
Coffee Break: Suede T-Strap Peep-Toes
I’ve been ogling these sophisticated light brown T-strap peep-toes from Brooks Brothers for a few weeks. I like the mixed leathers (suede and patent), the 3″ heel with .25″ platform, and the sale: the heel was $228, but is now $91. (Brooks Brothers is a reader favorite for comfortable heels, so their shoe sale might be worth … Read More about Coffee Break: Suede T-Strap Peep-Toes
Coffee Break: Brass Elephant Bowl
This little friendly brass elephant strikes me as the perfect thing to give some personality to your office, as well as to help you keep some tiny things — paperclips, perhaps — organized. (Or, if you take your earring(s) off for long phone calls, you can always keep them here when you’re not wearing them.) … Read More about Coffee Break: Brass Elephant Bowl
Coffee Break: Metal Hinged Bracelet
So: that’s a Fitbit. Where? Right there, on her wrist. It’s part of Tory Burch’s new collaboration with Fitbit. I’m pretty psyched about this, even though I’ve had a love/hate relationship with Fitbit ever since I got the Force rash (while pregnant, too!). (I now wear a Fitbit Flex but only when I’m going on … Read More about Coffee Break: Metal Hinged Bracelet
Coffee Break: Corinne Croc-Embossed Pump
Last Call has these 4″ heels in two colors (burgundy, pictured, and black), and considering that I keep bookmarking them, I thought I’d pass them along. I like the buckle and cutout details (and the tiny almost-t-strap! cute!) and the croc-embossed leather. They were $250, were then marked to $199, but with today’s sale they … Read More about Coffee Break: Corinne Croc-Embossed Pump
Coffee Break: Lendra Pump
Yes, yes: we all know I love a good purple pump. I like the sleek look and the mix of suede and leather (to say nothing of the adidas technology) in these nice Rockport pumps. They’re on a great sale, too — they were $110, but are now marked to $55 at 6pm.com. (There’s a very … Read More about Coffee Break: Lendra Pump
Coffee Break: BII Flats
I always love a good flat with cutouts, and these are on a great deal at 6pm. I like the mesh and the scalloped, decorative cutouts, along with the beige and black patent neutrals. The flat was $225 but is now $112. Pour la Victoire BII (L-3)
