My friend Jessie introduced me to Kooba bags a few years back. I remember her buttery yellow Kooba handbag well. Since then, Kooba has gone on to create lots of lovely new handbags and accessories, even footwear! Focusing on the details, they are inspired by vintage styling and unique textures. Kooba bags are definitely an expression of personal style. Find your favorite Kooba accessory and stand out in a crowd. Here are some great items from Kooba:
Kooba Hunter, $225.00. Fully lined, crossbody leather/nylon with double zip front pockets and cell phone pockets. This Aubergine color is so special and crossbody bags are oh so functional.
If you’re not in the market for a new handbag, how about an ipad case? This one is so glamorous in both color and texture. Kooba Ipad Case, $145.00.

Kooba Orly Suede Boots, $525.00. In search of the perfect pair of boots that will never go out of style? These would definitely fit the bill.

I recently extolled the virtues of bright, outrageous handbags on this blog, but today I am talking about the exact opposite – neutral tone handbags. Sometimes an outfit has too much presence to upstage it with a hot pink bag. It’s perfectly ok to let your outfit be the star and let your bag hang out in the background.
But a neutral tone bag doesn’t need to be a boring bag. Take this Calvin Klein handbag for example:

Calvin Klein Eyelet Hobo, $120 at Amazon.com
The Calvin Klein Eyelet handbag is a perfect example of a more interesting neutral bag. This suede bag is covered with grommets, which add a really fun detail to what otherwise could be a little blah. This bag is only $120 at Amazon.com which is a pretty sweet price for a Calvin Klein handbag! Calvin Klein has lots of neutral bags so he’s a great designer to check out.
Another bag I saw that would work well as a fun neutral is the Kooba Caitlin bag.

Kooba Caitlin Bag, $525 at Piperlime.com
I love Kooba handbags, and the Caitlin is no exception. The buttersoft Italian leather is gorgeous, and the big casual bow worked into the bag’s design makes it a real winner.

This week I discovered some cute totes from Lilly Pulitzer. Known for her citrus-y bright pink and lime green prints, she’s been the retro uniform for the affluent since the 50′s, and I love the happy mood her clothing and accessories evoke. Even Jackie O rocked Lilly Pulitzer so you know it’s gotta be chic!
Check these totes out:

Lilly Pulitzer Original Carry On, $148.00. So retro 70s and fun; I love the hot pink and orange combo!

Lilly Pulitzer Polka Dot Tote, $109.99.
As always, I understand not everyone wants to carry around a loud, cheery bright tote like the Lilly Pulitzer ones above. So here is a great, low-key option. Kooba Denim Canvas tote, $295.00.
Great light washed denim with a cool shape and leather pocket details. I think it’d be really comfortable to tote due to that little arch in the middle they took out for more room for your arm. The adjustable strap handle is also a great style detail. Plus denim is classic and timeless as well, so investing in a denim tote might be a good idea!
