Is it bad that I had to sing the Fergie song to spell that correctly or is it bad that I want to wear this tote with high gloves and a big hat and speak in a British accent? I don’t know why, just go with it.

This tote is glorious. I have always, always been a sucker for black and white. My prom dress at age 16 was simple, long black with a white stripe on top. When I’m in doubt, I go for my favorite black and white combo for an interview. This bag is no exception to my obsession. The beaded flower brooch set on the perfect ivory patent leather is so simple and easy and oh, so, glam.

I picture myself toting this bag away while wearing this shirt dress and some tights with tall boots while shopping for Christmas gifts and sipping hot chocolate and snacking on Junior Mints that I have stashed in said tote.

I love the old school feel to this bag. Back when hair poof’s were glam (Breakfast @ Tiffany’s style) and things were classy.

Pick it up at Neiman Marcus for $1,595.00.

  1. The beading looks like the initial deep impact of an asteroid, or Superman’s home planet. My secret crush on sci-fi is showing.

    Anyways, looove this tote.

    PS – My prom dress (in the early 90’s) was a black column with tiny, off the shoulder white sleeves.
