You know I’m a sucker for a blue bag, not to mention anything from Botkier. Put the two together, and it’s complete coveting perfection. Friends, meet Lucy!

I love the way this pretty satchel takes the messenger trend to much more stylish heights – the chain strap and subtle messenger details dress this bag up in totally unexpected ways, but leave a structured edge that keeps it from being too sweet. The details also add some longevity to the style, which I sorely love…you’ll be carrying this long after the messenger/satchel trend has faded. And at $395, it’s a splurge, but an easy one.

Crossing my fingers I can get my hands on one and show you some styling options…I have so many ideas to take this beauty from summer to fall without batting an eye!
