Botkier Bombay Tote



What lady does not need a big brown bag? And no, I’m not talking about the Bloomingdale’s bag, although that is always nice to have also. While oversized totes sometimes seem to be never-ending in capacity, many of you know that you need a huge bag for all your ‘things’, especially if you have kids. What mother out there does not carry a few small toys, crayons, random medicine, candy and treats, etc? A new option for a must-have big bag is the Botkier Bombay Tote. The tote is meticulously made of soft Italian goatskin leather and is further shown off with antiqued brass hardware. While this bag could have been too simple to give it more than one glance, Botkier spiced the bag up with wraparound straps, simple stud detailing, and a leather tassel (which is removable for those of you who think it is too much). The inside is spacious to fill all the goodies you need to travel with to keep everyone around you realizing you are ready for anything at anytime. Overall the bag measures 13″ x 20″ x 8″; I didn’t lie- it really is big!! Buy it through eLuxury for $540.

Celine Clandestine Frame Bag


If you were lucky like me, you got to experience the gorgeous weather this weekend and spend some time with people you love. My sister came into town and we went out to a great dinner Friday night and spent all day shopping on Saturday. I think I am officially addicted to jeans of any length, style, cut, and designer. I got a really cute pair of Chip and Pepper cropped shorts. To me one of the best accents for a pair of jeans is a bag. Come on, would you expect me to suggest anything else? For a casual everyday look, a chic and simple bag will do the trick. The Celine Clandestine Frame Bag manifests itself in a frame shape with a pale pink leather outside which is the perfect feminine touch. There is gold hardware to accent the pale pink leather. There is a front pocket with a popper fastening which adds a distinctive touch. While the bag is nothing to call home about right away, the subtle beauty seems to be alluring. Other features include a vertical zip pocket on the front, two straps, a zip pocket on the inside along with black lining, and a purse clasp closure on the top. I can’t say that this is the perfect bag for me, but it sure is cute. Buy it through Net-A-Porter for $1395.
