I am normally not a “bow and pleat on the vamp” kind of girl, but these shoes are calling my name for some reason! Even though I’ve never heard of the brand before, it has glowing reviews on Zappos — and a comfortable, durable shoe is never a bad thing. The shoes are $99 at … Read More about Coffee Break: Ulinda Pump
Coffee Break: Erica Pump
Love these pumps from Elie Tahari, available in snake-print black, suede, and “driftwood,” a snakey brown. Love the knotted/cut-out detail, as well as the classic look to the toe and heel. Lovely! The two black colors are on sale — were $328, now $238-$262. Elie Tahari – Erica Pump (Black 1) – Footwear (L-2)
Thursday’s TPS Report: One Button Cardigan w/ Silk Trim
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. A friend asked me a while ago for a simple black cardigan — no ruffles, no bows, nada. And I was stumped — that is hard to find! I like this simple one-button cardigan from Jones New York Sport — … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: One Button Cardigan w/ Silk Trim
Coffee Break: Taryn Rose Fierce
Today we’re liking this basic black peep toe from Taryn Rose, which has great comfort ratings at Zappos. We like that the heel is under 3″, and that the shoe comes with arch support. The fact that it’s on sale doesn’t hurt — it was $475, now $299.25. Taryn Rose – Fierce (Black Nappa) – … Read More about Coffee Break: Taryn Rose Fierce
Weekend Open Thread
Something on your mind? Chat about it here. We’re digging this fun dress for a summer day — we like the unusual color and pattern, as well as the fact that the reviewer suggested it was great for a larger chest. (Summer dresses can be a challenge for larger chests, what can we say?) It’s … Read More about Weekend Open Thread
Coffee Break – Bandolino Shelley Pumps
We love the look of these peep-toes from Bandolino and, judging by the 46 glowing reviews on Zappos, they’re not just another pretty shoe. We like that they come in a zillion colors (including the almost tortoise-shell-like print pictured), and the price is great, ranging from $53.06 for some colors to $58.95 for others. Bandolino … Read More about Coffee Break – Bandolino Shelley Pumps
Coffee Break: Circa Joan & David Marietta
Reader A wrote in to tip us off to this lovely heel, noting that it’s the “most comfortable summer work heel I’ve had in a while.” Nice! We like the look of the woven leather, as well as the slight point to the toe. The ivory is on sale at Zappos for $83.76, while the … Read More about Coffee Break: Circa Joan & David Marietta
Coffee Break: Harveys Seatbelt Bag
Today we’re liking this lovely Lola bag from Harveys. It’s made from seatbelts (yes, really) so you know it’s durable, but we like the slight ruffled component to it. We wish the bag were a bit bigger — for anyone taking home piles of paperwork this weekend, you won’t be able to fit too much … Read More about Coffee Break: Harveys Seatbelt Bag
Coffee Break: Neptune Avenue Stevie
This strikes us as a great, very fresh-looking canvas bag from Kate Spade — the floral design is beautiful, and the open top would allow you to shove a folder or notepad or two in there. It’s $295 at Zappos.com. Kate Spade – Neptune Avenue Stevie (Bluebell) (L-2)
Coffee Break: Luciana Sling
We forget where we saw these featured, but we love the look. Closed toe, mild platform (we think totally acceptable for the office), and interesting colors including slate gray (pictured), denim blue, or sesame. The fact that it’s from a brand that’s known for comfort doesn’t hurt in the least. It’s $109 at Zappos in … Read More about Coffee Break: Luciana Sling
Thursday’s TPS Report: Paisley Dye Burnout 3/4 Sleeve Cardigan
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We know: not for everyone. Still, we must say that we’ve come back to this cardigan and considered it for a few weeks for a TPS. We like the paisley pattern, as well as the soothing spring color. We’d wear … Read More about Thursday’s TPS Report: Paisley Dye Burnout 3/4 Sleeve Cardigan
Tuesday’s TPS Report: Kalia Skirt
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We’re loving this interesting skirt from Elie Tahari. The ruching across the front, paired with the dead simple back, strikes us as an interesting yet professional addition to the work wardrobe. It’s $202 at Zappos Couture, available in sizes 6 … Read More about Tuesday’s TPS Report: Kalia Skirt
