Two of Los Angeles's favorite style mavens — Melissa Coker of Wren and Clare Vivier — have teamed up to create the perfect Summer-ready tote, now available online. Priced at $350, the fully reversible shopper flaunts the best of both brands' worlds: one side comes in supple, vegetable-tanned leather (à la Vivier's signature clutches and bags), while the other features the cool celestial print showcased in Wren's Spring 2012 collection. In two rich leather hues — cognac and emerald — it's just the thing to capture a little breezy West Coast charm.

While we highly encourage outfit creativity, that doesn't mean we don't believe in wardrobe staples. Some wardrobe standbys have earned their reputation with good reason; just ask Katie Holmes. Making her standout Clare Vivier Messenger Bag ($348) a part of her daily routine, Katie's making quite a case for bag loyalty. In a brilliant red hue, her Vivier satchel provides the perfect finishing touch on everything from denim and leather to a chic all-black ensemble — and happens to look especially festive this time of year.

It's not often you find a bag to tote your laptop, iPad, and ereaders that is fit for the office and on the go, but these Clare Vivier bags are just the thing you need to stay on top of your tech style. From work bags to luxurious fold-over clutches, they can cradle your iPads, ereaders, and laptops — all while making a positive fashion statement.

My favorites are the Flat Tote ($160), which doubles as a work-appropriate laptop bag and can also fold over for night excursions; the Work Tote ($200), which comes with a compartment for a 15-inch laptop; and the Oversize Clutch ($180) that can store your smaller gadgets while staying on trend.
