Early Thursday morning, Reid and I made our way to Rodeo Drive to visit MCM’s gorgeous flagship store. After a small wrestling match with the parking meter (why are those always so complicated?), we were off!

The staff greeted us so kindly and whisked us upstairs to preview the new collection—and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Think: mixed-media leather and nylon vests, sleek cropped tees with subtle branded details, and jackets that strike that perfect balance of sporty and sophisticated.

Of course, I couldn’t help but gravitate toward their classic logo tote—the Liz Shopper in Visetos. It’s timeless, versatile, and one of those bags that instantly elevates whatever you’re wearing. See more of my favorites HERE. I was tempted to order the LIZ tote after I left the event. It is THAT good. I also loved the Milla in black with a chic silk scarf.

It’s always fun seeing what’s new from a brand that continues to reinvent itself season after season—and this collection is no exception.

Which is your favorite bag?

Bags under $300

Hand bags are hard to find that are both budget conscious and functional. I use the lululemon gym bag and MZ Wallace bags for the pool, road trips and everything in between. They dry if I spill in them and wipe clean. Let’s hear it for the “Mom win!”

Also I choose a variety of budget friendly crossbody bags for work, travel, or date night! I also love the different colors and textures from red (Kurt Geiger) to sherpa to braided leather. Which is your favorite?

IT Bags

I’ve been thinking lately about how less is more and how that translates in fashion … basically, there should be less junk and MORE quality pieces. Amen? After all, there’s no shame in ringing in summer with a worthy splurge. Especially if it is one that you will wear over and over and over again. See 5 of my favorite “investment buys” below.

1. Pierre Hardy (contrast details on point!)  

2. Stella star bag (so adorable)

3. Chloé elsie (love this pop of color)

4. Stella denim crossbody (a classic that doesn’t take itself too seriously)

5. Ferragamo marisol (I like it with cutoffs and a flowy top)
