a structured new tote for fall

If you caught my YouTube video over the weekend, you’ll know I prefer a bag with structure. Bags that hold their shape tend to look better longer, don’t you think? This Elizabeth and James tote is the newest bag silhouette to catch my eye for the coming season! The circular cutout handles are a nod to this year’s hottest bag trend, but the tote silhouette makes it wearable and useful. One side of the tote is suede and the other side leather, giving you a bit of room to play with different textures according to your outfit that day! It also comes with a long shoulder strap, which makes it great for when you’re running errands, traveling or just out and about wanting to be handsfree. This bag comes in a beautiful burgundy shade for fall, and also comes in a smaller size in black and this peachy nude color! I just love the fresh shape and unique touch it offers to my everyday jeans + tee combo.
