Coffee Break: Alexa Quilted Slouchy Leather Tote

Coffee Break: Alexa Quilted Slouchy Leather Tote

This tote is one of the bestsellers at Bloomingdale’s, and a few other stores have some options, too, like Zappos, Amazon, and Nordstrom (although Nordstrom doesn’t have the slouchy tote). No one seems to have as many as Bloomingdale’s, though. I like the stitched, quilted look, and the great chain detail, and the tote has a magnetic…

They’re available for pre-order at Nordstrom for $595 in sizes 5–11. Poween…

Coffee Break: Oval Pink Amethyst Stud Earrings

Coffee Break: Oval Pink Amethyst Stud Earrings

I’m always a sucker for wrapped jewelry — I think it’s delicate but sophisticated and has a sort of organic look to it. Even though I’m not a huge fan of stud earrings, I do like these, which are from a brand called Indulgems. I like the little purple amethyst gem, and these are lovely overall. They…
