We are loving this multi-strand necklace from Neiman Marcus — and for once we actually like it in all of the colors it comes in: black, silvertone, bronze, and golden. We think it would be a great way to make everything from a simple crewneck to a button-down more interesting, and would particularly look great … Read More about Coffee Break: Multi-Strand Bead Necklace
We’re always a fan of the short ankle-high boots — they’re perfect beneath pants all fall and winter long. We like the Nike Air technology in these simple Cole Haan boots, and we like the variety of sizes still available even though they’re marked down — they were $298, now $161.46 at Sierra Trading Post. … Read More about Coffee Break: Lynda Short Boots
We’re liking the look of these buckled pumps from Sigerson Morrison — they’re edgy without being unacceptable for an office. Love the slightly pointed toe, as well as the covered heel, and the diagonal buckle strikes us as kinda fierce. (We think the black is best for the office, but they are available in red … Read More about Coffee Break: Sigerson Morrison Buckled Pumps
We are loving these shoes from Sofft as a vintagey alternative to a regular pump. The super high vamp makes them very walkable, but we think the way the vamp dips down will be more attractive than, say, a Mary Jane or t-strap shoe. For some reason, we’re seeing them with a swingy A-line skirt. … Read More about Coffee Break: Gaige Pumps
I’m always a fan of Marc by Marc Jacobs bags, and this lovely satchel is no different — LOVE the print on the inside, the numerous pockets, and the size. I’m normally not a brown-purse kind of gal, but the caramel color strikes me as just right. It’s $369 (was $528) at ShopBop. Marc by … Read More about Coffee Break: Damisi Patchwork Leola Satchel
This strikes us as an amazing alternative to a classic 16″ pearl necklace — love the color, and the pop of blue — and there’s something nice about being able to answer the question “what IS that made of” with “vintage red Ethiopian ‘tomato’ glass, Bali silver & sapphire nugget.” We’d wear it with a … Read More about Coffee Break: Saba Necklace
We’re digging this “whiskey” colored bag from Antonio Melani — love the geometric look to the seaming, the flip-lock closure, and the comfortable strap-drop length. It’s $179, only at Dillards.com. Antonio Melani “Stevie” Flap Shoulder Bag
Feel free to tell me I’ve been watching too much Mad Men, but I love the idea of a long medallion locket. Love the intricate design on this one, love the rose gold, and can totally see it being great with a simple black turtleneck, or perhaps a more layered look with a draped cardigan. … Read More about Coffee Break: Medallion Locket
We’re liking these comfortable flats from Dr. Scholl — heralded by a number of readers in this post as being super comfortable. We like the slight point to the toe, the circular buckle, and the number of different colors available — our favorites are these bronze ones (on sale for $56.70), but Zappos also has … Read More about Coffee Break: Dr. Scholl’s Graduate
Zappos seems to have a ton of designer totes on 25-30% discount today, including this lovely crossbody tote, which strikes us as a very rich looking, and functional bag for toting work papers. It’s 17.25″ wide, 5″ deep, and 12.5″ high — love the dotted lining and the chain detail on the detachable shoulder strap. … Read More about Coffee Break: Indo Tracolla Large Crossbody
After today’s earlier post re: accessories, we went off in search of great belts — and found a ton of them at ShopBop. Today we’re particularly liking this vintage waist belt from Linea Pelle — great color and great loop/button details. Love the idea of it belted over a long black cardigan, light gray pants, … Read More about Coffee Break: Vintage Waist Belt
It’s time for end-of-season clearance at Naturalizer — including markdowns on these fabulous zebra-striped shoes. Love the walkable two-inch heel, the conservative buckle paired with the zebra print, and the great padding inside the shoe. It’s also available in black leather and a great “saddle tan” leather. Was $79, now $39.99. Naturalizer Lockhart (Pssst – … Read More about Coffee Break: Naturalizer’s Lockhart
