Designer pieces are the one thing I’m constantly asked out. Next to that are luxe pieces I recommend that are in the mid-price range – usually between $300-$700. One of the brands that I can absolutely vouch for in this category is Tory Burch. The brand offers a mix of ready-to-wear, leather goods and sportswear – but I’m a personal fan of the handbags and shoes. At first touch, it’s easy to see that Tory Burch bags are designed with quality craftsmanship and exquisite soft leather that rival those in the $1,500+ range. The bag silhouettes and detailing are always elegant and sophisticated – just perfect for the modern working woman. If you’ve been coveting a new bag or pair of shoes for the warmer weather, Tory Burch will be running a private sale from February 23-February 27 (HERE). It only happens twice a year, so you’ll want to take full advantage. There will be a ton of spring and summer favorites included from totes to crossbody bags and more. Below, I’m sharing my picks from the brand – some of which are included in the sale!

You guys know I have been absolutely obsessed with the oversized tote trend! It’s such a nice change of pace from the usual mini bag. So, if you’re looking for one that’s not overpriced, Tory Burch’s Ella Tote won’t disappoint. It’s under $500 and crafted from durable canvas, making it great to travel with. It even holds a 13″ laptop!

Last year, I got a ton of questions about affordable work totes and recommended this triple-compartment tote bag! It’s still on my list of highly-recommended bags since it’s so roomy, contains multiple pockets for organization and sits comfortably over the shoulder. This bag really packs a punch for the price!

I’m still very much into mini bags, especially when it features a unique design or seasonal fabric like this mini Kira. The crochet design is just perfect for the warmer months and will go with so many outfits. I can see myself traveling with it, carrying it from day to night.

This Tory Burch bag features a classic quilted design, which looks so luxe and expensive. The flap design and gold-tone chain is so timeless and will last in your wardrobe for years to come. I love how the chain strap is adjustable so you can carry it over the shoulders or as a crossbody bag!

Straw totes are also on the docket for spring and summer. This one is the ultimate beach bag – it’s roomy enough to hold all your essentials for a day of sun bathing. The tote is handmade by women artisans from Morocco! It’s more than just a straw bag!

If you’re looking for something more elevated, the Fleming Small Convertible Bag screams elegance. Everything from the leather to the weight of the chain and clasp feels way more expensive.

Once the temperatures rise, there’s nothing I want to wear more than espadrilles! They’re the perfect warm weather shoe, fusing comfort and style that works for beach getaways and cityscapes. The clean, classic look of this pair is just chef’s kiss!

I’m a huge proponent of compartmentalizing my items for easy access and organization. That’s where this nifty bag comes into play. You can use it for cosmetics and toiletries – but also pens, hair accessories and more!
