The Bonanno!
While you all weep, I will say that my college summers included working at the beach or pool and I have just lived in Rainbows all summer. But now, I need to move on!
I really like the Palm Beach Classic:
(I want to get a brown leather, perhaps with a gold whipstich - I need this sandal as a dressier sandal that I can dress up with a sundress or cute skirt & I know that a brown leather will go with most of my wardrobe.)
So Bonanno fans, what are your favorite pair, what are your favorite color combos - which ones do you wear the most?? Please let me know!Another question about Tote distress!
I have this VV mini tote bag that I love (and when I adore something, I use it all the time!), well now it is getting quite dingy because this bag goes to the store, on trips, to work with me...
And I also have this great Lilly tote (I purchased mine about 3 summers ago, its a mini tote with pink canvas & that great pears/lemons fabric {do yall remember that one? loved it} ) This was my favorite tote & I was living in Charleston that summer and it went everywhere with me - the beach, the bars, work - everywhere!!
As I digress, my totes are quite dingy and I want them to be cleaned - what do you all do to clean your totes? Take them to the dry cleaners or is there a home remedy I should know?
Thanks!

I have a pink and green monogrammed pair that I adore, but actually don't wear that much. I think I wear too much pink and green, that it just gets to be a little to much. However I do have a platinum/gold pair that I wear with everything. You no longer can order the platinum, but I think that gold would work really well. You just have to think of the metallic as a neutral and you will wear it constantly!
I don't own any either, but was thinking about getting some silver or gold ones. Let me know what you decide!
i would not classify myself as preppy, but i appreciate the classics and i think this may be the summer i treat myself to a pair of bonanos too! one of my super preppy coworker has the palm beach classic in silver and they are To Die. i'm just worried about ordering them online because i have a really high instep. i'll work it out though.
Right now, I've got 5 pairs... Emma Classic Monogram in linaria with white, white with arbutus, navy with white, emerald with pomme and a pair of Chelsea in black with black. I like the emerald/pomme combo the best, but they are the ones I wear the least. I've basically worn out the linaria with white. This summer I'll be getting Emma Embroidery in white with silver and gold captain's wheel and probably also another pair (or two) of Emma Classic Monogram. I'm thinking Clementine with Linaria and a red/white combo. I'll keep you posted.
Good luck to you... with so many combos available, it's not an easy choice to make!
P.S. I posted them last year... take a peek if you'd like:

I have the palm beach in skye with white whipstitch. I love them. I really want another pair but am having soooooo much trouble deciding! I was thinking of white or shell with arbutus whipstitch but now arbutus is unavailable!
I have the chelsea in pomme/arbutus. I'm so happy that I got them because they go with most of my spring/summer clothes.
