Angie at You Look Fab has a post today called “An Aha Moment for Happy Feet” wherein she sings the praises of these gorgeous pumps — if that isn’t a killer recommendation I don’t know what is. I am in love with this black calf-hair/purple pair, but they’re also available in cheetah/black and a “saddle”/tan … Read More about Coffee Break: Okala Pumps
Coffee Break: Aztec Bangle
Piperlime is having a pretty great sale: with code SUMMER you can take an extra 25% off all sale items. There are lots of shoes, clothes and bags to check out (including the Kors jet set tote from Thursday) but for today’s Coffee Break I’m liking this Aztec bangle from House of Harlow. The pink … Read More about Coffee Break: Aztec Bangle
Coffee Break: Jet Set Travel Tote for MacBook Pro
I am always interested when I find a working girl’s cult item that I hadn’t known about before — it seems like the Jet Set tote from Michael Michael Kors might be one of them. A few readers sung their praises on the best interview totes thread, it’s highly rated at all of the stores … Read More about Coffee Break: Jet Set Travel Tote for MacBook Pro
Coffee Break: Anette Pumps
There seem to be a ton of newly-added, nice pumps on deep discount at a number of stores — ShopBop, Neiman Marcus, Saks — check ’em out. For today’s post I’m liking these purple DvF pumps. I like the snake embossing, the pointed toe, and the lovely purple hue. They were $278, but are now … Read More about Coffee Break: Anette Pumps
Coffee Break: Perfect Exotic Leather Skinny Belt
I like this spotted skinny belt from Ann Taylor, and the price is certainly right — it’s more than 50% off the original price. While the belt would be a fun pop of color in a neutral outfit (e.g., white blouse, light gray pants), I’d probably have most fun wearing it as a fun accent … Read More about Coffee Break: Perfect Exotic Leather Skinny Belt
Coffee Break: Morandi Large Satchel
6pm.com has started some early sales for the Fourth of July (although the big $17.76 sale starts on Thursday), including marking down a bunch of Cole Haan, Pour La Victoire, Ellington, Franco Sarto, and other bags. For today’s Coffee Break I’m liking this pretty satchel from Pour La Victoire. It comes in a bunch of … Read More about Coffee Break: Morandi Large Satchel
Coffee Break: Patent Leather Glitter Heel Pumps
I know many women who swear by the comfort of Miu Miu heels… and I kind of love the judicious use of glitter here which, yes, I think you can get away with at a conservative office (albeit probably not a day with a big meeting). Diamonds on the soles of her shoes, indeed. They’re … Read More about Coffee Break: Patent Leather Glitter Heel Pumps
Coffee Break: Quilted Lambskin Medium Flap Bag
The Brooks Brothers sale has some classic pieces for great prices, including this lovely flap bag. Normally I’m opposed to bags that are reminiscent of fancier, pricier ones, but I’m really like the Chanel inspiration here — love the quilted lambskin, the gold-plated hardware, and the interior technology pockets are always welcome. It was $548, … Read More about Coffee Break: Quilted Lambskin Medium Flap Bag
Coffee Break: Glam Rock Women’s GR31012 SoBe White Mother-Of-Pearl Dial Stainless Steel Watch
Amazon has some crazy deals on watches right now, and while I wouldn’t pay $1000 for a $5000 watch I wasn’t familiar with already, I will happily browse in the $125 and under section for $500+ watches. For today’s Coffee Break I like this stainless steal mother-of-pearl dial watch from Glam Rock. It seems like … Read More about Coffee Break: Glam Rock Women’s GR31012 SoBe White Mother-Of-Pearl Dial Stainless Steel Watch
Coffee Break: Striped Elaphe, Suede and Grosgrain Pumps
Wow, these are gorgeous shoes. So many elements combine to make them purely “office shoes” (as in, not for outdoor wear — the grosgrain toe! the beige suede heels!) — but I’d happily wear them inside. I quite like the black and white striped leather, which apparently is snakeskin, and the combination of beige, black, … Read More about Coffee Break: Striped Elaphe, Suede and Grosgrain Pumps
Coffee Break: Penelope Tote
Hell-o, gorgeous, streamlined tote (on sale!) from Tory Burch. I love the origami-inspired designed, the mix of semi-gloss leather and suede (you can see it much better on the color versions of the bag), and the organization looks pretty decent as well. Something about it looks fresh yet classic at the same time. It was … Read More about Coffee Break: Penelope Tote
Coffee Break: Stone Pendant Long Necklace
The Piperlime Half-Yearly sale has started, and there’s a ton of good stuff. I find myself drawn to a lot of the pieces by Sabine, a new-to-me brand that has clothes and jewelry, all with what feel like a fresh, almost French vibe. This long red pendant necklace is kind of really cool — the … Read More about Coffee Break: Stone Pendant Long Necklace
