Talbots has recently added a number of good-looking pumps to their sale section, and the prices are pretty good. I’m liking this slightly spicy “caged” platform pump, but there are a number of more conservative styles on sale as well. Most prices are under $100 — these are marked from $149 down to $44.39 (final … Read More about Coffee Break – Salena Suede Caged Platform Pumps
Coffee Break – Jaimy Boots
Whenever we talk about boots for the winter, the favorite brand that readers mention is La Canadienne. 6pm has a number of styles on deep discount, including this suede boot with a 2″ heel. Although not among La Canadienne’s waterproof offerings, they look like a well-made boot and for a great price: they were $210, … Read More about Coffee Break – Jaimy Boots
Coffee Break – Snakeskin Leather Heel Pumps
Wow: love, love, love the snakeskin heel on these brown suede pumps. (Note that they’re also available in a gray suede.) The snakeskin adds a little texture and pizzazz to an otherwise boring look, and it’s the perfect way for even the most conservative dressers to dip their toes in the waters of wearing animal … Read More about Coffee Break – Snakeskin Leather Heel Pumps
Coffee Break – Raquel Large Tote
Whenever I shop, I take note of which brands I like, and some go on my shopping “bucket list” (things to buy, well, before one kicks the…). When I was in Germany a few years ago, I kept seeing the brand Coccinelle, and I really liked the handbags. At the time I hadn’t seen the … Read More about Coffee Break – Raquel Large Tote
Coffee Break – No Slouch Medium Hobo
A few months ago, I attended a press event for Kenneth Cole (actually a really lovely dinner hosted by KC himself) and all of the bloggers got to choose one piece to take home with them. I got this suede bag in a purpley pink and I have to say it’s really lovely. The suede … Read More about Coffee Break – No Slouch Medium Hobo
Coffee Break – Dorell Oxford Pumps
Both 6pm and Zappos have great sales on these high-heeled oxford shoes from Gabriella Rocha — and I think it’s a good sign that they have all positive reviews on Zappos. Suede can be tricky in the springtime, but so long as it’s dry outside and you’re wearing something on your feet (whether it be … Read More about Coffee Break – Dorell Oxford Pumps
Coffee Break: Gaige Pumps
We are loving these shoes from Sofft as a vintagey alternative to a regular pump. The super high vamp makes them very walkable, but we think the way the vamp dips down will be more attractive than, say, a Mary Jane or t-strap shoe. For some reason, we’re seeing them with a swingy A-line skirt. … Read More about Coffee Break: Gaige Pumps
Coffee Break: Bandolino Purple Suede Heels
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
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Paul Smith’s Pink Suede Mary Janes
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We’re loving these adorable pink suede Paul Smith heels — that bit of striping, that blast of color on the sole — love it all. We’d wear them with gray trousers and a very basic black blouse and blazer. And … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Paul Smith’s Pink Suede Mary Janes
