Sign … Read More about Coffee Break: A Monthly Box of Healthy Snacks

Coffee Break – Grace Snake-Embossed Tote, Purple
I have wanted a Beirn bag forever, and I’m seriously considering this one (especially considering the serious sale).

Coffee Break – Elodee Oxfords
This high-heeled oxford kind of shoe is the kind of thing my mother would look at with disdain and call a “nun shoe,” but I actually think they’re a great workwear basic.
