Coffee Break

Accessories for your suits and other office wear.

  • Coffee Break: Kharen Flat

    I am liking the trend of ankle-wrap shoes more and more — but I definitely have a preference for a delicate tie intsead of an up-your-leg gladiator/ballerina wrap, and I kind of prefer them in flats or low heels. This simple flat from Born not only looks comfortable and cute for work, but it’s on…

  • Coffee Break: Merona Tote with Pouch

    I love the really bright, happy yellow of this tote from Target.

  • Coffee Break: Centella Dress Pump

    Oooh: hello there, pretty pump. I love the taupey brown color here — but the corset-lacing and tassels are also gorgeous. Amazon has the shoe in five colors and sizes from $37-$98; 6PM has it in three colors for $49-$59 (including that taupey brown), and Nordstrom does have it also, but only in red, for 45%…

  • Coffee Break: Pyramid Spike Y-Necklace

    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…
