The Classic Handbag: Gucci

Gucci Logo ToteGucci Logo ToteToo many logos are never a good thing. I don’t know about you, but good things don’t come to mind when I see a woman toting a cart full of Louis Vuitton luggage. But I do love my Gucci tote. The color palette makes the logo discreet, and from afar looks more like a beige pattern that makes a chic daytime handbag. I’ve worn it for years with my more feminine office outfits because it never goes out of style,.

ttF Daily Fave: Linea Pelle Purse Light Key Chain

Linea Pelle Purse Light Key Chain The great thing about big bags is you can carry everything you need. The worst part is the larger the purse is, the harder it is to find anything you need. Linea Pelle solves this problem with their Purse Light Key Chain ($30). You hook it onto your keys or purse and voila! You can instantly see inside that vast handbag. Sure, you could carry around a mini flashlight with you that cost 5 bucks at CVS. But I doubt it would come in pretty hot pink or silver leather. This item also makes a useful and affordable gift.

The Ladylike Handbag: Chanel and Cole Haan

Chain Handbags by Chanel and Cole HaanChain Handbags by Chanel and Cole HaanEven though chain bags have become increasingly popular over the past year, they’ll always remain a classic. Of course, Chanel is the holy grail of quilted chain handbags. But there are so many other options right now that you don’t drop a thousand dollars to achieve the same lady-like elegance. I like my red Cole Haan purse just as much as my vintage Chanel. The chain is even removable, so I can wear it as a clutch when I don’t want the gold to compete with the rest of my outfit.

ttF Daily Fave: Reed Evins Tie Dye Ballet Flats

Reed Evins Tie Dye BalletI never got into this season’s whole tie-dye trend. Well, I did try a pair of Charley 5.0 tie-dye denim leggings but that wasn’t on purpose. Anyway, I would be open to these Reed Evins Tie Dye Ballet Flats ($282 $84.60). They don’t look too hippie whatsoever and I’m always a sucker for teals and turquoise. The purple version is pretty cute, too. I’d wear them with a t-shirt and skinny jeans—not my tie-dye skinnies, of course. That would be way too much.
