In case you hadn't noticed, the days of "paper or plastic?" are long gone. And that means that the tote is steadily becoming an essential for the working girl on the go. A great carryall can help you transition from one summer hot spot to the next…not to mention accommodate and disguise any purchases along the way.

15 Flip-Flops We're Actually Giving The Go-Ahead
In case you haven't heard, summer is just around the corner, meaning your focus needs to shift from spring cleaning to summer lovin'—fast. And for all the time we plan to — hopefully — spend poolside and wave-side this summer, a great sandal is a must, and an old, gross pair (you know the kind) just won't do. The tried-and-true flip-flop is essential for the beach, but a cute pair can lend you a hand…er, foot running around the city as well (hello commuting shoes!).
From the classic Havaianas (did you know the brand is older than Christian Louboutin?) to more elaborate pairs from brands like Marc Jacobs and Pucci, we did the very hard research (seriously, there are some scary options out there) to find a pair or two (or 15) of fashionable thong sandals to perfectly accessorize your summer 'drobe. You know you're going to buy them anyway, so they might as well be as chic as possible.

15 Printed Shorts We're Already Obsessing Over
During this in-between weather, we're cuddling up in scarves one minute, buying $4 umbrellas (and breaking them immediately) the next, and yes, even wearing shorts every once in a while. So, ever the optimists, we decided to take the reins on shorts season by claiming we're nearly there (we are)! And what better way to prove it than by rounding up 15 awesome printed alternatives to mix in with your old faithfuls? Obviously, floral denim is blooming brightly for spring, so why should your legs wilt for summer? Indeed, there's no better way to reintroduce your stems to the sun than by stepping it up with bottoms as eye-catching as your impending tan. Yes, we said tan. See? This is so much more fun than talking about rain boots.

Super-Luxe Sunglasses Worth The Sticker-Shock
It seems like just yesterday we were complaining about how we couldn't wait for spring. Well, now it's here…bouncing off mirrored buildings and slowly wreaking havoc on our eyesight. If the threat against your ocular health isn't enough to make you sprint to the closest sunglass stand, think of how important the perfect shades are to your seasonal wardrobe. They're the ultimate accessory for any beachy-luxe look and, if done correctly, can turn even a plain T-shirt and cut-offs into a runway-ready outfit (well, almost).
So, to make the shade search a little easier (or at least provide you with some day-dreaming material), we've compiled 14 of the hottest, most glam face-framers in town. From the morning commute to weekends on the beach, sunglasses are the everyday necessity…at least that's how we're justifying the gorgeous investment.
