Coffee Break

Accessories for your suits and other office wear.

  • Coffee Break: Optimum Pump

    If you’ve been hanging out in the comments section, this pump may look (or sound) familiar — commenters have been singing the praises of it for weeks now! (I think a direct quote from one reader was that the shoe was “so, so, so comfortable.”) The shoe is ALSO only $60 at DSW, is on-trend…

  • Coffee Break: Maya Calfskin Shoulder Bag

    I love the boxy look of this classic shoulder bag from All Saints, and I continue to be really impressed with All Saints as a leather bag company. The lack of lining is a little interesting, but I like it, although the removable ruffle detail is probably something I’d take off immediately. I like the hidden magnetic snap closure and interior…
