I was going to recommend this other lovely Geox pump when this deeply discounted, unusual cornflower blue peep toe caught my eye. $45 for a $150 shoe? Sign me up. There are very limited sizes in the blue (it’s full price but more available in the coral and camel colors), but looks like a great … Read More about Coffee Break: Marieclairehigh3 Pump

Coffee Break: Kenley Cashmere Scarf
I got my MIL a Kenley cashmere scarf for some holiday last year, and have been eyeing them ever since — I was really impressed with the softness of the cashmere, and the brightness of the colors.
