I’ve always had a soft spot for Vanessa Bruno’s classic tote (where style meets function, bien sur). And I’m loving the neon versions that she trotted out for summer. The bag is available in both canvas and linen, and the sequin trim comes in poppy shades of yellow, green, orange, and pink. I’ll be lugging mine from the office to the beach and everywhere in between. — Evelyn, Los Angeles editor
