We all know how much I love neutrals and great basics. Those wear-with-anything and wear-to-everything pieces that consistently look chic and put together. I wear a lot of nude and blush accessories during the summertime, but I’ve been looking for a versatile brown bag that will be useful this season and the coming fall season (kinda like the top in Monday’s post). I find those transitional staples get the most wear of all the things in my wardrobe.
A couple weeks ago I picked up this Coach Edie Shoulder Bag in the richest shade of cognac. The luxe cognac color goes with e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. It’s especially gorgeous this time of year with all my favorite white dresses and chic basics. Since it’s not a chocolate brown, it still looks amazing with black and can be worn year-round! Bingo. Another bonus? This bag is suuuuper lightweight. As someone who has had various back problems (both upper and lower back pain for two very different reasons), it’s a relief when I can find a bag that is nearly weightless. This bag is a wonderful travel companion with the crossbody strap, but you also have the option to wear it on your arm or over your shoulder.
If brown happens to not be a color you need, this baby also comes in black and red. Below is a rundown of other gorgeous, laid-back styles for you to check out:
- I LOVE the grey + gold combo on this Mercer Satchel! Another fab year-round neutral.
- I love how feminine and dainty this nude + gold carryall looks.
- If you’re looking for a sleek tote to take to the office, this one fits the bill and comes in five colors!
- If you love a good equestrian-inspired look, this clutch is for you.
- For an effortless summer style, you can’t miss this saddle bag.
Also, you’ve gotta check out their shoes. Dying over this pair!!
PS – I’ve only been doing BBG for one week and I already feel like my legs look more toned + lean… am I crazy??! It’s a very hard workout, but it goes by so fast when you’re doing it. Wish me luck as I try to keep it up!!

Your Coach purse is GORGEOUS. I’ve been admiring so many Coach purses lately and the ultra lightweight style is SUCH an appeal. My shoulders have been killing me from heavier options. Great neutral look!
