Tod’s Carey Grande


Yes, I’ve talked about a bag quite similar to this before by Tod’s. But the shape and color of this beauty intrigues me. The Tod’s Carey Grande receives its beauty from the light blue opal textured leather. The tote has double top handles and perfectly comes together with a gathered top with a buckle accessory for closing. Simple elegance at its finest sums up this bag. There is also a signature Tod’s logo charm and an inside pocket with open panels. This bagГў€™s dimensions are 9″H x 16″W x 4″D which places it in the category of not too big not to small- but just right. Buy it via Neiman Marcus for $1100.

Juicy Couture Metallic Day Dreamer Tote


Juicy Couture bags seem to be hit or miss. Take the Juicy Couture Metallic Day Dreamer Tote. This large gathered pink terry cloth bag does not even pass in my mind as a beach bag. I just don’t like the look of it. Of course, because metallic can’t get our of style just yet, the shoulder straps, piping, trim, and satin ribbon are all bronze metallic. The outside has a pocket for your convenience along with one inside pocket. While the design of this bag just doesn’t cut it for me, it is the slogan on the bag that really sends me over the edge. Can you imagine what your father would say to see you carrying around a bag that reads, “Some Like It Juicy”? I know no matter how I explained this slogan, it would just always seem so wrong. This politically incorrect bag measures 11″H X 11¼”L X 6¼”W and can be purchased through Saks for $175.
