Rules change according to the seasons. For the summer, I truly appreciate the gracious ease of a big, wide, open tote (while when the temperature drops, I demand some closure). I think I have just met my match, just in time for July and the high days of sunshine.
This gold-and-black combo is a Rochas signature, and for good reason. This is not your ordinary two-tone tote. To appreciate it fully, you need to see it up close and personal: it’s not just the golden panel that shines, their black leather has a gorgeous sheen to it. Such a neutral yet utterly unique palette isn’t just for the heat; watch it glide right into fall, for the perfect pairing with all your subdued hues. Looks like I’ll be keeping an open mind come September. Sparkly without being too, too much, Rochas’ roomy bag is just structured enough for work…though I’m seeing it partaking in a good deal of play. On Net-a-Porter
Pair with: See by Chloé’s Las Vegas silk skirt is ruched and draped to easygoing perfection. It can be dressed up and down right along with my new favorite tote. On Net-a-Porter
