Coffee Break: Poween Snakeskin Embossed Ruffle Pump

Coffee Break: Poween Snakeskin Embossed Ruffle Pump

These embellished snakeskin pumps from Isabel Marant look gorgeous. I love the mix of green and blue and beige and brown, and I think wearing these would be a great and easy way to add a lot of personality to an otherwise neutral outfit. 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.

They make it in both a small and large size, which are $10 and $20, respectively. I can see it as being a great option, particularly in in-between weather when you don’t have a big…
