Who Wears What: Handbags
Once a year, Congress summons the President to discuss the country's priorities in the State of the Union Address. And while we certainly have no constitutional requirement to do the same, recently we felt compelled to give our own version of this historic speech. Of course our lay of the land, if you will, is not your typical political oratory. Instead of focusing on proposed legislative initiatives and goals, we're more concerned with one of the most important pieces in any girl's accessory arsenal: the handbag. We realized that sounds silly and perhaps overly simplistic, but these transitional months between full-blown winter and early spring are the key time to assess your personal handbag policies for the upcoming season! Accordingly, we decided to provide you with a detailed survey of what satchels your favorite celebrity subjects are schlepping at this very moment. That way, if you do decide to purchase a new bag—or simply choose to stick to a tried-and-trusted-tote—you will be making an informed decision. (Knowledge is power, dear readers!) Just take a few pointers from our trusted style-stars in today's Who Wears What: Handbags feature and you'll be up-to-date on all the most pressing purse possibilities pronto!
Cameron Diaz | Chanel Coco Cocoon ($2395)
Though Lily Allen looked lovely in the adverts for this semi-newbie Chanel tote (it debuted this fall), we also think the Coco Cocoon style is pitch perfect for Cameron Diaz. Not only is the reversible lambskin tote sporty and chic, it's also lightweight and roomy, making it an optimal way to carry all of your essentials—and any extras. Plus, as an added bonus, the bag's beautiful cherry-red hue adds a kick to a more-mellow outfit!
