Coffee Break – Lola Flats
I really like the cap-toed look to these flats from Geox. The lilac/prune pair (pictured here — love that bit of red where the cap toe meets the rest of the shoe) would be a lovely unexpected pop of color to a pair of black pants, gray pants, and definitely navy pants. They range from … Read More about Coffee Break – Lola Flats

Endless has a bunch of great sales right now — lots of great brands on sale including Kate Spade, L.A.M.B., Cole Haan, and more. Today I’m liking these simple geometric flats from Delman. The red patent is cheerful and bright, and the closed toe helps make the other cut-outs more appropriate for a conservative office. … Read More about Coffee Break: Wanda Flat
Riding Boots … to the Office?

I am in court every day, but it’s juvie so it’s not like I have to wear a suit every day. … Read More about Riding Boots … to the Office?
