Ooh, cute heels from Frye. I like the Western detailing on the leather, as well as the “brush off” two-tone effect, particularly with the dark brown ones (pictured; they’re also available in black and smoke). I’d probably wear them with trousers for the office. They were $178, but are now marked to $104.99 at Zappos. … Read More about Coffee Break – Maya Mary Jane
Coffee Break – Envelope Laptop Case in Faux Croc Effect
Cute laptop case! I’m not sure how much insulation and padding there is, but I do think the envelope styling and blue croc looks smart, and would be great if you had a few items to bring to the meeting with you (e.g., a few post-its, a few sheets of paper, maybe an ID card … Read More about Coffee Break – Envelope Laptop Case in Faux Croc Effect
Coffee Break: Hot Girls Pearls
These “pearl” bracelets and necklaces are filled with a non-toxic icy gel that can be frozen to keep you cool. I saw them touted in O:The Oprah Magazine as a great way to make it through menopausal hot flashes, but I think they’d be great for hot, sticky summer mornings in the subway. I prefer … Read More about Coffee Break: Hot Girls Pearls
Coffee Break – ‘Quilting Tribeca’ Satchel
Love this “quilting Tribeca” satchel from Marc Jacobs. It’s simple, elegant, and big enough to actually fit a ton of stuff (15.5″Wx11″Hx6″D). I do wish it were lined in a lighter fabric (so much easier to see inside the bag!) but maybe that’s just me. It’s $1,395 at Nordstrom. MARC JACOBS ‘Quilting Tribeca’ Satchel (L-2)
Coffee Break – White Gold Black Diamond Accented Huggie Hoop Earrings
I love a good huggie hoop earring. These white gold earrings with teeny black diamonds look like they would be lovely, comfortable, and bring just the slightest bit of “edge” to most outfits. They’re $490 at Saks Fifth Avenue. Jude Frances 18K White Gold Black Diamond Accented Huggie Hoop Earrings (L-2)
Coffee Break – Collina Shoes
I decided to hunt for a walkable, attractive shoe for under $50 today… and I really like the Collina from Naturalizer. I like the little ties, which sort of makes them like Mary Jane versions of an oxford, as well as the cutouts on the suede. I like that it comes in so many colors … Read More about Coffee Break – Collina Shoes
Coffee Break – Karen Pumps
Sure, these pumps are kind of boring — but they’re Kate Spade classics, and they’re part of a pretty good sale right now at Zappos. I actually like the camel suede the best, which of course is the only one not on sale — but these simple camel patent ones (pictured) are almost just as … Read More about Coffee Break – Karen Pumps
Coffee Break – Catarina Shoulder Bag
I actually found this bag because I was in a red mood and was hunting for a reasonably priced bag in, well, red. The clean lines and fun details (love that bit of chain on the strap) stuck out immediately, and when I clicked… lo and behold, it comes in “azure,” which is a much … Read More about Coffee Break – Catarina Shoulder Bag
Coffee Break – Hilside Card Case
I love a colorful card case! These are great for keeping your own business cards in, obviously, but they’re also great for keeping things like your lunch money and restaurant-specific discount cards in, as well. This tulip print one from Banana Republic is cotton, but they have a number of other bright, happy ones that … Read More about Coffee Break – Hilside Card Case
Coffee Break – Eden Satchel
Oooh: there are a lot of colors of this Botkier totebag on sale. I’m partial to the colorful ones (such as the green and purple one pictured, but there’s also a red/pink and a lavender/blue), but there are more sedate colors as well such as a butterscotch, a dark brown “tmoro,” and plain old black. … Read More about Coffee Break – Eden Satchel
Coffee Break – Lancaster Wedge Pump
Ooh, cute wedge pump from Corso Como. I only have one pair of Corso Como shoes, but the leather on them is so soft — I can imagine these are as well. I’ve pictured the brown (which has the most sizes left), but it’s also available in a more reddishy brown “Ginger,” as well as … Read More about Coffee Break – Lancaster Wedge Pump
Coffee Break – Stripe Airy Scarf
Ooh: love this cashmere and wool scarf from Halogen. It comes in about a zillion different color combinations (this one is wine/red), and I think it would be great both under your coat or as a way to add some color to an otherwise boring top such as a turtleneck or simple black long-sleeved tee. … Read More about Coffee Break – Stripe Airy Scarf
