Coach’s Laser Logo Wedge is a Yes

Lately, I’m a taupe kinda gal. Taupe encompasses a wider range of colors than I thought!

But somehow, this range is pleasing to me lately. I suddenly love neutrals in general, which is a surprise for a jewel-toned lover.

The Jade Wedge has an Asian-influenced lasercut pattern on its vamp, soft tumbled glazed leather, a 4-inch heel and a 1-inch platform.

They call it beige on the website, but it looks more taupe to me in real life. Also available in mocha (a rich chocolatey brown) and black.

Coach ‘Legra’ Boot

I’m not really feeling a lot of the Coach purses this season. The colors and sequins are over the top – even for me. But with this boot, I could finally visualize myself wearing a pair of Coach shoes that were subtle with just a hint of sexy.

These are for our boot-loving readers for the fall days ahead. If the days get gray and dreary, but your shoes are gray and fabulous, it more than evens things out.

It’s Summer, Put On Your Flip Flops

For me, summer means lots of time at the beach. Although I no longer live on California’s Central Coast, I still spend every moment I can in the sand, or at least dressing like I’m headed to the beach. While in Santa Cruz for the 4th of July I realized I need new flip flops! There are some great new designer sandals available this summer that are rather stylish. Pure luxury at the beach – I love it!

Coach Lauren Flat

It’s been a number of years since I’ve purchased anything from the Coach brand.   For me, the brand simply became too mass marketed and banal.  My sentiments were further hightened when counterfeiters started imitating the trademark “C” logo on bags, footwear, etc.

This is why I’m glad that Coach has started to step out with different styles.  First it started when Coach launched the girly Poppy line.  I’m also quite fond of these cap-toe flats with jumbled “Coach” ornament on the toe.   The shoes are cute and clearly Coach, but different than the typical Coach styles.

The Coach Lauren flat is available at Coach.com for $158.
