• Coffee Break: Merona Tote with Pouch

    I love the really bright, happy yellow of this tote from Target. I haven’t seen a yellow bag like this in a while — I like the tassel detail and the fact that the center is removable and becomes a little purse on its own. This bag is getting good reviews so far and is only $45. It comes in gray, pink,…

  • Coffee Break: Barkly Trench Coat

    It’s springtime — yay! — and I’m excited about spring coats. They’ve got a lot of really lovely ones right now, and I especially like this parchment pink coat from BB Dakota, in part because it’s really affordable.

    If you’re looking for a long but delicate necklace to wear with tops, do consider this pretty “spike” necklace — not only is it only $38, but it’s got a number of positive reviews about how easy it is to wear at Nordstrom, and at BaubleBar they’ve declared it a “BB Essental.” Sadly, it only comes…

  • Coffee Break: ‘Lille’ d’Orsay Pump

    These gorgeous Diane von Furstenberg pumps really called to me — I love the pointy toe, the stiletto heel, and the very sculptural topline, as it’s called. For my pale legs, this sort of powdery pink is the perfect color if I want nude-for-me pumps. We’ll be doing our yearly roundup of nude-for-you pumps soon, so stay tuned. (In…
