Love (LOVE!) this top-handled tote from Zara. It's a hot, colour-blocked mess of neutrals, meaning you can literally wear it with everything, yet the clean, classic lines keep it from looking busy. You can carry it by its smart top handles or go hands-free with the longer shoulder strap, and the zip-top will stop your goods from spilling out, should you decide to swing it wildly over your head with abandon or execute a perfect cartwheel. One never knows when the mood might strike...
The Suede Combined Shopper chimes in under $100 (just barely but still...) at Zara.
And sorry for the inconsistent posting this week. My little girl started JK (sniff) and my son started pre-school (double-sniff) so I've been knee-deep in lunch boxes, backpacks and Kleenexes all week long. I had no clue that back-to-school was so much work! Ohh, and SO EXCITING! I've been asked to be part of Cityline's Fall Fashion Special so I've been shopping like mad to help style the show. If you want to catch me on it, set your PVR's for Tues, Sept 18th on City TV! xoxo
