September 24, 2010 By 11 Comments

Tory Burch, $131.25 My love for the tote bag has been documented here already, but I will reiterate: I LOVE TOTE BAGS. That's why I'm not sure whether I'm pro or con on the current tote bag mania that's occurring. I think my ambivalence all started with Anya Hindmarch's I'm Not a Plastic Bag tote, … [Read more...]
