Coffee Break: Blue Flair Large Leather Tote

I don’t know why, but I just took a swing through several major discount retailers looking for a droolworthy tote that isn’t annoying to post for everyone. (Pro tip: Century 21 has a ton of fancy Longchamp and St. Laurent bags right now!) This Furla bag has a nice mix of what I was looking…
