7 Outfit-Making Summer Totes, Inspired by the Stars

FOR CASUAL FRIDAYS
Got a more creative workspace, like Jessica Alba's The Honest Company? Add a jolt of color to your black-and-white separates (work prints in for a more playful 'tude) with a vibrant vermillion tote.

Tote: Michael Kors, $300
Top: Dorothy Perkins, $25
Pants: Oasis, $62
Pumps: Nine West, $79



FOR RUNNING ERRANDS
Tote everything you need for the day in a carryall that perfectly accents your outfit's color palette. In Camilla Belle's case--nautical blue.

Tote: Clare Vivier, $380
Headwrap: Ban.Do, $20, shopbando.com
Polo: Uniqlo, $10
Jeans: Current/Elliott, $325
Flats: Toms, $59



FOR A LAIDBACK DINNER
Take a cue from model Karlie Kloss and sweeten up an all black look with bag washed in pretty pale pink.

Tote: Coach, $298
Top: Wilfred, $90, aritzia.com
Jeans: DL1961, $178, dl1961.com
Sandals: Dolce Vita, $109



FOR A FUN BRUNCH DATE
Toughen up your look with a tote that boasts a camouflage print and studs. sustain the aesthetic with distressed jeans, a la Katie Holmes, and offset it with a softer print.

Tote: Valentino, $1,545
Hat: Sole Society, $23
Top: Zara, $70
Jeans: Genetic, $232
Sandals: Loft, $80



FOR THE OFFICE
The key to a sleek (and sensible!) carryall is a structured shape, like Margot Robbie's. But all work and no play makes for an uninspired outfit, so inject a playful print and a tiny hint of glint.

Tote: Rebecca Minkoff, $255
Top: Equipment, $248
Pants: French Connection, $130
Sandals: Loeffler Randall, $207, loefflerrandall.com


FOR A COFFEE RUN
Look to a boxy silhouette to instantly elevate a pair of playful overalls (or shortfalls). Olivia Palermo did that and more, also accessorizing with cool studded frames and smoking slippers.

Tote: Zara, $100
Sunglasses: Italia Independent, $247
Top: Alice + Olivia, $176
Shortalls: American Eagle, $40
Flats: Stubbs & Wootton for J.Crew, $400



FOR SCHOOL DROP-OFFS
A slouchy shopper is the perfect add-on to a quick-and-easy (and still chic) ensemble during the early morning dash to get the kids to school on time. Take a style cue from Sarah Jessica Parker who, as a mother of three, has got the drill down pat.

Tote: Baggu, $160
Sunglasses: Michael Kors, $126
Sweatshirt: Gap, $32
Jeans: J Brand, $218
