Oooh: I first spied these in the black/gray/blue combo, but when I saw the purple I knew it was fate: I love these purple pumps from Fornarina. I love the way the purple leather details wrap around the front of the shoe — almost as if it were a peep toe, but I believe this … Read More about Coffee Break – Closed-Toe Slip-Ons
Nice: This basic 3″ heel has good reviews at Zappos, Endless, and Amazon, it’s available in a zillion colors, and it’s on sale — at least, many of the colors are.

Wow – some great deals on this magenta pump from Pour La Victoire, which I’ve long admired (and am actually surprised I haven’t posted before).

We’re always a fan of a purple pump, and we like these dark purple suede ones from Bandolino. We like the quarter strap (more flattering than a straight-across-the-ankle Mary Jane, but just as walkable); also liking the chain detailing, provided they’re not too noisy in real life. The price is certainly right — the shoes … Read More about Coffee Break: Bandolino Purple Suede Heels
