The Tote Around Town

Fall is in the air and all the coveted designers have their new designs in stores, ready for a once over. For many of us “Purse-Lovas” there is a second over, followed by a third, especially when we are talking about the the prices attached to these lust-worthy objects.

The trapezoid shaped tote - the Trap Tote - is the “It Bag” of the season. Its classic shape is easily expandable, so taking it from day to night is not only stylish but effortless. 

The trap tote comes in an array of colors, 

sizes and designers, oh my!.

(And not to worry ladies, I lust after budget and budget-busting bags alike!)

Celine “Luggage Tote Mini”

Speaking of budget-busting...I lay in bed thinking about this bag - and apparently so does every style icon!  The problem is, there is a waiting list and it has a price tag starting at $2,700.00, ouch!

BCBG “Barlowe Satchel”

I love this contemporary bag, you have the option to zip the wing flaps in and take off the shoulder strap. The colors go with everything too. It definitely fits the bill, $548.00.
