We love Lauren Merkin for their affordable clutches that we can match to every different dress in our entire closet but this tote, practical and affordable for any lifestyle, is making me jump! Waterproof leather? All leather should be waterproof by nature, right? But I have water damage that clearly shows otherwise. Not only is the waterproofing a lifesaver but this expandable tote with zippers that add to function as well as fashion, is nothing sort of genius. I really can’t say enough about blue bags, clearly. It really is the MOST usable color for bags, it is uber chic with black and for summer, beige and white are obvious compliments. And if you wear jeans, that’s all I need to say. It goes with everything. Big enough for computer and files, but once unzipped, take this on the road for overnights and as a carry-on. At Neiman Marcus for $595. Also comes in orange, but puke, that ones no good.
