A reader saw this bag while checking out Nordstrom’s anniversary sale this morning and noted, “I think it’s a great work bag– the red is an eye-catcher, and the black is classic.”
Coffee Break: Taryn Rose Fierce
Today we’re liking this basic black peep toe from Taryn Rose, which has great comfort ratings at Zappos. We like that the heel is under 3″, and that the shoe comes with arch support. The fact that it’s on sale doesn’t hurt — it was $475, now $299.25. Taryn Rose – Fierce (Black Nappa) – … Read More about Coffee Break: Taryn Rose Fierce
Coffee Break: RoadID WristID Elite
I know that many readers of this blog are outdoor exercisers — runners, bikers, and walkers. If you’re like me, you worry about things from a safety perspective. (Warning: morbid thoughts comin’ up.) On the one hand, you want your ID on you in case you’re hit by a car or otherwise incapacitated — but … Read More about Coffee Break: RoadID WristID Elite
Coffee Break
We’re liking this great shoulder bag from Monserat de Lucca. We like the braided detail, the multiple pockets (both outside and in), the two optional handles, and the gorgeous, lovely color. It’s $297 at Bluefly (was $495). Monserat de Lucca grey leather ‘Trenza’ braid detail shoulder bag
Coffee Break: Emily High-Heel Platform Mary Jane
We always forget about Johnston & Murphy for women’s shoes, but they consistently have some really cute heels. Today, we’re liking these “cognac” platform Mary Janes — we like the tiered look to the leather, as well as the color. The price isn’t bad, either — was $228, now $89 — but if you buy … Read More about Coffee Break: Emily High-Heel Platform Mary Jane
Coffee Break: Built NY Cooler Tasty Lunch Tote
A happy lunch tote can make you feel downright excited to eat the lunch you brought, can’t it? Today we’re liking this adorable purple/orange/red tote from Built NY — and it’s even on sale! Was $24.99, now $19.99 with the eBags summer sale (20% off everything). Built NY Cooler Tasty Lunch Tote Pattern Nolita Stripe
Coffee Break: olsenHaus Grace 2 Peep Toe Pump
We’re in a peep-toe kind of mood today, and we’re loving these lovely pumps from olsenHaus (which, apparently, has no connection to the fashion empire of those other Olsens). In addition to being ridiculously cute and having a heel below 3″ (the combo is hard to find), the shoes are also vegan. We like the … Read More about Coffee Break: olsenHaus Grace 2 Peep Toe Pump
Coffee Break: ‘Depoe Bay’ Pump
We’ve noticed this shoe before, and now the comfort ratings have us totally mesmerized — we like this Jeffrey Campbell pump, particularly in the brown, but also in the black and the khaki. We like the decoration — the buckles and O-rings are fun and reminiscent of saddles — and the brown tone keeps things … Read More about Coffee Break: ‘Depoe Bay’ Pump
Coffee Break: Tahitian Cultured Pearl and Diamond Pendant
For today’s coffee break, we’re digging this Tahitian pearl pendant. Like diamond studs, pearls can be all over the map in terms of expense and quality, but they always convey that you’re striving for a classic look. We like the Tahitian pearl to mix it up a bit, and this one seems like a great … Read More about Coffee Break: Tahitian Cultured Pearl and Diamond Pendant
Workwear Hall of Fame: Longchamp Totes

Coffee Break – Bandolino Shelley Pumps
We love the look of these peep-toes from Bandolino and, judging by the 46 glowing reviews on Zappos, they’re not just another pretty shoe. We like that they come in a zillion colors (including the almost tortoise-shell-like print pictured), and the price is great, ranging from $53.06 for some colors to $58.95 for others. Bandolino … Read More about Coffee Break – Bandolino Shelley Pumps
Coffee Break: Stuart Weitzman’s Daisy Pump
Today we’re loving this classic shoe from Stuart Weitzman. The serpent print is a great “neutral” with some personality — it also comes in a gray “snake” print, a multi-colored “serpent” print (all of the prints for $285) and a red and a basic black leather (both on sale at Endless for ~$150.) Zappos also … Read More about Coffee Break: Stuart Weitzman’s Daisy Pump
