Coffee Break

Accessories for your suits and other office wear.

  • Coffee Break: Peridot 1 Dress Pump

    This lovely 2″ heel caught my eye over at Zappos — and then promptly sold out. Amazon has more colors but lucky sizes only (unless you like this silvery gray snakeprint one, which has a ton of sizes). It really just does look like a lovely, walkable heel, and I love that relaxed bow detail….
