Call me crazy, but I’m really liking this leather belt from Dillard’s– the twisted buckle looks interesting but subdued, and a snake texture is always good for the office. Was $59, now $29.50 at Dillards in brown and black. Tre Vero Pleated Snake-Textured Belt
Some Favorites from the Coffee Break
These are our favorite coffee breaks that we featured in 2010!
Coffee Break
One of the smartest things I did unwittingly a few years ago was to buy a blue carry-on — and now I always know exactly which one is mine when I have to gate check it or really check it. eBags has a number of great bags on sale right now, and I like the … Read More about Coffee Break
Coffee Break: Beirn Tote
Maybe my memory is off, but I remember passing up the opportunity to get a Beirn bag for just over $100 — and I regret it every time I see some fashionable New Yorker carrying the bag. They’re truly lovely. The Outnet has a number at 65% off, though — this one is a blue … Read More about Coffee Break: Beirn Tote
Coffee Break: Enamel Oval Necklace
The Saks sale is now up to 40% off, with new items added — and I’m liking this simple black necklace. I think it would be a great addition to a really colorful top — even a print — and think that it’s large and distinctive enough to make it a statement necklace. Lovely. Was … Read More about Coffee Break: Enamel Oval Necklace
Coffee Break: Myka Suede Wedge Shoes
Corporette commenters have sung the praises of these $30 wedges for a while (including today), but I don’t think we’ve ever featured them properly on the site. To hear the commenters tell it: They’re comfortable. They’re versatile. (And they come in purple suede, which you know I love.) They’re $30 at Target.com. Women’s Merona® Myka … Read More about Coffee Break: Myka Suede Wedge Shoes
Coffee Break: Air Swan Oxford Pump
The one shoe I find myself wearing a ton of this season is my heeled oxford pumps — they work with tights, they work with trousers. I’m loving the look of these Cole Haan pumps — they have the “Air” cushioning, they have a platform, and they’re part of the Maria Sharapova collection, all of … Read More about Coffee Break: Air Swan Oxford Pump
Coffee Break: Black Agate, Ruby & Diamond Sterling Silver Earrings
Ice.com has been on my mind lately,* so I “wandered” over to the site today to check it out — and fell in love with these gorgeous black agate, ruby, and diamond sterling silver earrings. They’re beautiful without being blingy, and — bestill my beating heart! — have a comfortable leverback instead of a post. … Read More about Coffee Break: Black Agate, Ruby & Diamond Sterling Silver Earrings
Coffee Break: Barbarella Pump Wave
I saw this shoe mentioned somewhere recently as one of the highest-rated heels for comfort, and have had my eye on it. The “smokey teal” color, pictured, is particularly fun — but it also comes in the more sedate black, brown, and “camel.” The shoe is normally $130, but with the Cyber-Monday deals going on … Read More about Coffee Break: Barbarella Pump Wave
Coffee Break: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Mini
After Tuesday’s discussion on “designer bags,” I was intrigued to see that some people considered Coach or Dooney a designer brand while others scoffed at the idea and suggested only a $1000+ bag could be designer. Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see much said about the “emerging” designer bags,which can offer quality, style, … Read More about Coffee Break: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Mini
Coffee Break: Ulinda Pump
I am normally not a “bow and pleat on the vamp” kind of girl, but these shoes are calling my name for some reason! Even though I’ve never heard of the brand before, it has glowing reviews on Zappos — and a comfortable, durable shoe is never a bad thing. The shoes are $99 at … Read More about Coffee Break: Ulinda Pump
Coffee Break: Etre Touchy Gloves
Loving these gloves from Fair Indigo — the exposed forefinger and thumb are a perfect way to stay bundled up, yet be able to text, check emails, and more. They’re $38 at FairIndigo.com. Women’s Etre Touchy Gloves (L-0)
