Coffee Break – Cynthia Doctor Satchel
Ooh: cute textured bag from Ivanka Trump. I think the quilted synthetic leather looks really lux, and a bit foreign and mysterious — I looked at the picture here and wondered, what is that? Considering the price, I knew it wasn’t ostrich or some other exotic animal — but in real life, people won’t have … Read More about Coffee Break – Cynthia Doctor Satchel

Coffee Break – Ninfea 1 Pump
At first I thought these shoes had cutouts to resemble polkadots — but really, they’re made entirely of patent leather flowers. (Daisies, I believe; flowers are not my strong point.) No, the pumps are not for everyone, but I think these could be a great way to accessorize a casual day at the office. They’re … Read More about Coffee Break – Ninfea 1 Pump
