Morning ladies for this month's wardrobe staple I thought we'd focus on handbags & for me the one style that is perfect for all occasions - the tote.

I think most of us will agree that us ladies generally carry around with us far more than we need - whether it's bits & pieces for the children when they're younger, hubby's keys & wallet when out as a couple & of course not forgetting all those 'necessities' we lug around for ourselves on the off chance they will be needed! Which is probably why we all love a great tote. A style that's perfect for holding all our day to day basics, that can double up as a travel bag & even depending on the size hold our laptop/iPads for work.

Now if we're talking wardrobe staples you're never going to go wrong purchasing a leather tote, something that will stand the test of time & just get better with age. Plus if you go for one in a neutral colour it really will earn it's keep on a cost per wear basis sooner than you realise.

I've popped together my edit of some great totes above & as always simply click on any of the individual images for further details.

Back to today & it's all about keeping cool, so a loose fit off the shoulder dress is perfect.
