I love the colors that are usually associated with fall. Greys, navys, and deep shades of red make up the bulk of my wardrobe, and I feel at home wearing these colors. So when I happened upon this burgundy tote, I knew I had found my birthday gift to myself.
My J.Crew Edie bag has been my everyday handbag for a long time, and I’ve been long overdue for something a little roomier. This handbag fits the bill and I couldn’t wait to wear it with my favorite fall colors. Here I am injecting a little fall into my summer.

Your “may have something coming in the mail” was such a tease the other day (and I thought for sure it was going to be a pair of shoes)! But well worth the wait. I adore the rich burgundy color of this tote. It’s absolutely beautiful with the gold hardware. I know you’ll wear her well!
What a gorgeous bag, it is really something! It is very “Kelly” – rich shade, check; classic shape with a twist, check.
p.s. Do you ever wear it on your shoulder? Or is it not a comfortable fit because of the length of the handles? I just wonder because totes can get heavy when loaded up with knickknacks and I dread lugging around 10 lb bags.
Thanks Elle! The handles are just long enough to fit on my shoulder, but it’s not the most comfortable. However, this bag comes with a removable long strap that on me, can be worn on the shoulder or cross-body. I’m sure I’ll sport it that way on the blog soon. =)
can’t wait! I am quite curious about it being worn as a cross-body bag! :)
ooooh that bag is gorgeous. I love the rich burgundy color with the gold hardware. I bet you wish it was almost fall.
gorgeous bag!!
That bag is perfect for your style!! Edgy, rich color and classy!! Love it!!
Congrats on the new addition to your handbag collection. I’ve been looking for the perfect red purse for ages, and a few Valentinos are on my potentials list. You look great with it! :)

That bag is lovely! It looks great with your white jeans and button down.
Love the Valentino bag for $1900 but this one from Michael Kors is similar, and only $378. No, I have no vested interest in Michael Kors. Just came across it by accident!

Kelly, I love, love your bag! What a delicious color. I am really trying to quit shopping for summer clothes, but it’s hard when we haven’t even hit the hottest part of our summer in Texas, yet. You definitely look cool!
