We featured this pump a few months ago in a purple/black spotted haircalf, but Amazon (which actually has a ton of new bags and shoes marked down) has a number of other Tamsin pumps for really reasonable prices right now. Take, for example, these “rose lizard” pumps, pictured (with the name of the pump spelled … Read More about Coffee Break – Tamsin Pump
Coffee Break – Puck’s Garden Mushroom Post Earrings
Personally, I’m really not a fan of post earrings, primarily because I find them uncomfortable to wear while talking on the telephone — but even I couldn’t pass up these cool “garden mushroom” earrings in rose gold vermeil. The organically shaped stud is a chic, minimalist update on a classic look. They’re $55 at ShopBop … Read More about Coffee Break – Puck’s Garden Mushroom Post Earrings
Coffee Break – Wide Slotted Belt
I know, today was supposed to be the “expensive” Coffee Break — the splurgey one. I’m sure you’ll all be highly disappointed to hear that I just couldn’t resist telling you about this gorgeous wide slotted belt on deep discount (final sale, alas) at Intermix. I think it would be gorgeous with a multitude of … Read More about Coffee Break – Wide Slotted Belt
Coffee Break – Cashmere Stole
I present to you: the black cashmere stole. Boring? You bet. But will you wear it a million times over the next 10 years? You bet. I bought a scarf like this years ago, on a similar sale at Henri Bendel, and I wear it all the time — it’s my easy grab-it-and-go piece when … Read More about Coffee Break – Cashmere Stole

There are a few gems in the 6pm Stuart Weitzman sale today — take, for example, these classic pumps with an oh-so-tiny peep toe.* These babies are 70% off and available in red and black — they were $335 but are now marked to $102. (Meanwhile, over at the Stuart Weitzman online shop, there is … Read More about Coffee Break – Spymid Pumps
Coffee Break – Kenley Scarf
One of the gifts I gave someone else this holiday season was this Kenley scarf, and I was so impressed with the softness of the cashmere and the vibrancy of the colors that now I’m lusting after one myself. I particularly like this “snow leopard” (was $250 now $150 at DvF), but do note that … Read More about Coffee Break – Kenley Scarf
Coffee Break – Lizard Large Bowler
Amazon is having some crazy deals on bags today. Much of it is very limited stock, but for illustration purposes: I love this large bowler bag from Latico. It’s definitely on the bigger side (24″ wide!) but I could see this a great tote for work. It was $369, but is now marked to $89.81 … Read More about Coffee Break – Lizard Large Bowler
Coffee Break – Long Skinny Leather Belt
Net-a-Porter is having a pretty big sale at the moment, with lots of stuff up to 70% off. Don’t get me wrong — you can still pay $1500 for a pair of pajamas (on sale!) if you want to, but there is a lot of stuff for pretty reasonable prices. Case in point: this Roland … Read More about Coffee Break – Long Skinny Leather Belt

Coffee Break – Universal Phone Wallet
I featured something similar from Cole Haan a few weeks ago, but I thought I’d bring this lovely red cell phone wallet to your attention today — can you think of a single woman on your gift-giving list who wouldn’t benefit from something like this? If she’s working, it’s the perfect I’m-just-grabbing-lunch-quickly wallet (she can … Read More about Coffee Break – Universal Phone Wallet
Coffee Break: 23andMe
Here’s a gift idea for the science lovers in your life: DNA testing. Yes, seriously. You’ve actually been able to get it done commercially for a while now, but last week, my father excitedly emailed me to let me know that the main company that does it — 23 and Me — just lowered their … Read More about Coffee Break: 23andMe
Coffee Break
Briefly (because I really have nothing good to add to the conversation and get all choked up anyway when I think about it): instead of suggesting another random gift idea, I thought I’d devote today’s Coffee Break to places you can help the victims of Friday’s tragic shooting. Mashable did a roundup the other day … Read More about Coffee Break
