Make a style statement with playful polka dots and classy oversized totes

Oversized Totes
Let's face it, gone are the days when all we needed to carry around was a lipstick and a wad of cash. Adding some practicality to our stylish world is the oversized tote. Typically consisting of tasteful detailing in the form of lots of pockets, buckles, belts and zippers, it adds to the exuberance of the always timeless tote in a way that even the most fashion-conscious cannot resist. This handbag is the ideal accessory to complement almost any daytime outfit, regardless of whether you are heading to work, shopping or just spending a relaxing day at the beach. Take your pick from a wide range, including Marc Jacob's stylish eggshell leather bag to Prada's luscious fur trim extra large purse. This classic trend is hard to resist and flaunts a must-have appeal that undeniably bags it all!

Polka Dots
From vintage bags and shoes to flirty blouses and dresses, the polka dot fever is catching on in a big way. With remarkable international appeal, the huge revival of this season's most hip and fun trend shows just the right amount of flirtation and puts your best 'dot' forward. For a subtle style statement, try the flirty polka dot ballerina pumps from Miu Miu. Or show off one of Surily Goel's polka dotted baby-doll dresses for a fabulous girls' night out. This 50's inspired retro chic trend is fashionable with a playful twist and offers an entertaining element to our sometimes serious wardrobes. It's possible to sport this pattern in such a wide variation of hues and styles that all you fashionistas can't help but get it spot on.
