Handbags Part I: Totes

Handbags, purses, totes, whatever you want to call them, are necessities in any preppy girl's life. However, as you all probably know, there are just too many to have all at once! Therefore, I will be presenting this collection one step at a time. I'll begin with the fabulous totes. Enjoy!

A simple yet very cute, girly mini pink pony tote from Ralph Lauren:

Another very cute tote from the wonderful Ralph Lauren, very alike to the pink pony tote, only in black and in the large size, giving it a little more slender look:

This really doesn't look like a tote from the picture, but it is and I love it! The jeweled drawstring and leather material really gives the everyday over-the-shoulder a chic look. Lilly Pulitzer, you've done it again! Also comes in princess pink:

This waterproof beach bag from Lilly is so cute! I love the bright colors and bold print, and the plastic bag with the gold hardware and rope handles go so well...love it! Also comes in a navy zebra kind of print, but I personally think the patterns and materials with the pink lining all kind of clash; the 10 to 2 floral print works much better.I fell in love with this Dooney & Bourke patched plaid tassel tote the minute I laid my eyes on it. I love everything!

Aww! Again from Dooney & Bourke, this tote is so whimsical and cute! I love the bumble bees.
Wow. This Multipli-cite shoulder bag is simply fantastic. Chic, practical, Louis Vuitton. What more could you ask for?
Another from Louis Vuitton, this Antigua Cabas MM is absolutely fantastic, is it not? Plus, it comes in four other colors.

So that's it for Handbags Part I. Hope you enjoyed the totes, and get ready for Handbags Part II...

Two Words: Lilly Pulitzer

Lilly Pulitzer; probably takes the prize for one of the preppiest brands around. And isn't it fab?

So anyway, the Resort 2007 collection was recently released, here are a few of my favorites.I love this Brynne Silk Dupioni dress. The pink coral might not work with some people's complexions, but it's gorgeous nonetheless.I can't quite decide about this Jacqueline Lace dress. It may not look stunning on the mannequin, but I can definitely see it being very cute worn, especially with heels and some big sunglasses.

I love this Cordelia Dress! It is so fun and actually looks surprisingly comfortable.
This Caroleena Georgette dress is nothing but fun. Can't you imagine wearing it at the party on Palm Beach?

The Kylie Jacket. So wonderfully sophisticated. It also comes in a navy, but I really think the sand dune works better.

I guess I just like Cordelia dresses, because every one I see catches my eye. This Cordelia Linen dress is so pretty, the colors, the v-neck halter, the empire waist. Fabulous!

Cardigans! Where would we be without cardigans? This Audrey Cardigan is so cute, and it looks extremely comfy as well. Also comes in hibiscus pink, true navy, and vanilla.

Okay, when in doubt, wear a sweater. This Gloria cashmere sweater is absolutely wonderful, and what's even better is that it comes in EIGHT different colors; this beach club blue, lemon sorbet, palm beach camel, palm green, princess pink, shrimp, sky blue, and vanilla.

I just about died when I saw this Rene top. A fabulous twist on the classic polo, what's not to love?

This Marin striped hoodie is so cute! Very wearable for many occasions; going to the gym, shopping...extremely versatile.

Well, I guess that's about it for the Lilly Pulitzer Resort 2007 collection post. Hope you enjoyed!
