I always love the accessories at ShopBop, and they’re always what I hit first when ShopBop has some of its legendary sales. This marble necklace is only 30% off, but the bright red marbles and the interwoven chain make a great statement piece for the office. I particularly like the one marble hanging from the … Read More about Coffee Break – Short Woven Marble Necklace
Coffee Break – Monica Pumps
Honestly, today I’m torn between two different Samanta pumps, both available at Amazon. Ultimately I like this Monica Platform Pump better than this one, in large part because that indigo blue is so, so pretty. I love the cutouts, and I always like a deal. It’s 52% off — was $185, now marked to $88.56. … Read More about Coffee Break – Monica Pumps
Coffee Break – Sanchi 2 Pumps
The bad news: there are less and less winter deals to be had, which I suppose is understandable given that it’s well into May. The good news: these beautiful suede kitten heels from Donald J Pliner, available in both “expresso” (pictured) and black, are still on sale. Yes, they’re suede, so you may want to … Read More about Coffee Break – Sanchi 2 Pumps
Coffee Break – Cashmere and Silk Waffle Scarf
I’ve been eyeing these lovely waffled scarves on sale at Brooks Brothers. They’re available in five colors (black, pictured, as well as navy, beige, forest green, and ivory), and made of cashmere and silk. At 12″ wide it’s a little on the skinny side to use as a wrap, but depending on the weight of … Read More about Coffee Break – Cashmere and Silk Waffle Scarf
Coffee Break – ‘Logo Crest’ Color Piping Leather Belt
What’s better than a blue leather skinny belt? A blue leather skinny belt with green piping, which I can see bringing a lot of personality even to a boring black dress. Love this belt from Vince Camuto, also available in black with white piping. It’s $38 at Nordstrom. Vince Camuto ‘Logo Crest’ Color Piping Leather … Read More about Coffee Break – ‘Logo Crest’ Color Piping Leather Belt
Coffee Break – Regina Coat
Yes, today’s Coffee Break recommendation is a wool coat — and yes, I’m aware it’s May. But come on: the off season is a great time to snap up sales on quality pieces, including this adorable coat from Soia & Kyo, a sister brand to Mackage. I like the fact that it’s a bit different … Read More about Coffee Break – Regina Coat
Coffee Break – Michelle Black Patent Pump
A while back a reader wrote in wondering how to walk quietly in heels — and while a number of readers noted that they loved the sound their clicking heels made on hard floors, I still think there are some places that a quiet shoe is best, such as when walking the otherwise quiet halls … Read More about Coffee Break – Michelle Black Patent Pump
Coffee Break – Skinny Leather Belt
A colorful skinny belt can be a great way to accessorize cardigans, sheath dresses, and otherwise neutral outfits — and J.Crew has a ton of great colors at a reasonable $34.50. I particularly like the “peacock feather,” pictured, but the “dazzling sun” yellow and neon pink and orange are all pretty great. Skinny Leather Belt … Read More about Coffee Break – Skinny Leather Belt
Coffee Break – Candy Tri Zip Satchel
I love the look of this Rebecca Minkoff leather satchel, even though I normally prefer nylon (for weight reasons) for satchels this large. eBags has a nice sale going today, too, which brings the price from $525 to $420 with free shipping. It’s available in black and taupe. Rebecca Minkoff Candy Tri Zip Satchel (L-2)
Coffee Break – Bangkok Open-Toe Pump
I always like a light beige shoe, but the colorful pops of color here (choose either citron/green, pictured, or rose/salmon) are really chic. In addition to being cute peep toes, these shoes — like all others by olsenHaus — are 100% animal-free and cruelty free. They’re $210 at Amazon, but use code 2012MOM2 to get … Read More about Coffee Break – Bangkok Open-Toe Pump
Coffee Break – Alicia Halo Druzy Rectangle Studs, Rose Gold
These gorgeous studs are doubly on trend: they’re plated with rose gold (hot), as well as druzy quartz (also hot). I like the rough rock mixed with the pretty pink, and I could see the earrings being very pretty against certain skin tones. The pair is $125 at Charm & Chain. Alicia Halo Druzy Rectangle … Read More about Coffee Break – Alicia Halo Druzy Rectangle Studs, Rose Gold
Coffee Break – ‘Roseau Croco’ Shoulder Bag
Longchamp is famous — at least among our set — for their versatile nylon bags, but a ton of readers over the years have also expressed their love for Longchap’s leather bags. This brilliant blue tote bag (with a simple but effective toggle closure) looks great — I love the bright interior (it almost reminds … Read More about Coffee Break – ‘Roseau Croco’ Shoulder Bag
