jimmychoo_proudelephe_2.pngOn lazy days when I just barely get myself to get out of my pajamas, I throw on my Current/Elliot Boyfriend Jeansicon($245). But to make it convincing that I am actually going for easy chic, I need an equally casual unstructured bag. Kempt just came out with their Pure Tote ($400), it is a simple tote with no lining and is completely floppy. The leather is slightly distressed, like a saddle, with a loose tab closure for the ultimate in effortless chic. You can wear any top (I've been wearing blousey tops with my boyfriend jeans) but make sure you have fabulous shoes on. Even with flats, do not go flip flop, or you will suddenly look sloppy. With the killer Jimmy Choo Proud elaphe pumps, $860 (my new Fall shoes, have to have them!), you're out in a flash looking good enough for a hot date.

  • I love the look! It looks so casual chic and effortless! Love the tote!! That's a classic keeper!

  • LOVE the tote, but I wish it was lined! I have an unlined/unfinished leather tote and it gets little bits of brown leather all over everything inside it. Quite annoying. The jeans are fab and the shoes are to die for!

  • This is sooooo very ME. It is the most comfortable and functional look I have ever worn - although for a long time I have felt out of date. Thank you so much for making me feel 'fashionable' again ;)

  • It was love at first sight!!! When i saw the Pure Tote bag, i knew i had to have it!! It is such a well made classic leather bag that looks good with anything i wear. i especially love the design of the handles which allows you to carry it on your shoulder or hand carry. Very chic and timeless, love it!!
