I like Cole Haan’s collection this season — between their Nike Air shoes (a 4.25″ platform so comfortable you could run in it? Sign me up!) and their handbags and leather accessories, this label is a reasonably priced option for style and quality. In particular, I like the Keaton snake clutch in the yellow — such a happy color that screams summer, cruises, and the tropics…ahhh. The bag also comes in emerald and nude, which offer options for both eye-popping and neutral palettes. Though the buckles may almost distract from the design, the overall shape is wonderful. The size is reasonable at 9 3/4″ L X 5 1/4″ H X 2 1/2″ D. The magnetic closure is always a welcome touch. $425 at Cole Haan.

(P.S. There are shoes to match!)
