Pretty leather summer totes: The Tracy Tote by Ellington on Cool Mom Picks
It's no secret that I've got an obsession with bags, so when I saw these leather summer totes from CMP fave Ellington (so pretty!) the only question in my mind was which color to get.  

I really love that Ellington took their popular classic totes and went back to figure out how they could be made in the U.S.A., which is really something extra special these days. And the colors are amazing. I'm immediately drawn to the turquoise, but the bright red is definitely an eyecatcher. Take a peek at the other more subtle color swatches if you prefer your shades a little more neutral. You'll find a couple of pockets, which is often more than you'll get in a typical tote, but the bags are unlined. So I might not use it for sippy cups, or toss my white scarf in there because it might end up matching your bag. Not that that would be so bad. You can purchase the new Tracy Tote at Ellington.
