Have You Ever Seen Anything More Exciting Than This Basket Tote By Rosie Assoulin!?!?

You know how people talk about motherhood like it's having your heart walking around outside of your body? That is immediately how I felt upon laying eyes on the irreverent, practical, absurdly genius, aesthetically perfect Jug Basket Tote. Never before has something felt so important.

Of course it's not the first time that Rosie Assoulin has blown our minds. Her flouncy, dramatic silhouettes and statement making accessories have been captivating spectators for years. 

For my college graduation, I wore this Spring / Summer 2014 look, and I completely accept the fact that I will never look or feel cooler in my life. Those pants alone!

I remember walking onto a shuttle bus that was going to take us to the ceremony and a fashionable girl who I'd never really chatted with before (but like, I went to Barnard so it's impossible not to have had an interaction with every girl) stopped me stunned, yelling, "Is that Rosie Assoulin!?" 

And in that moment I thought - it's the last day of college and NOW people start to realize I'm semi-interesting to look at!?!

But I digress. It seems I may have just been granted a second head turning chance at feeling cool in life, and that would be in boarding a crowded LIRR train one Friday sporting this hybrid canvas basket tote. 

Available in Large and Small, either size is the Platonic ideal of Manhattan meets Hamptons style. Honestly, they'll probably bring back Sex And The City just so that Carrie can wax poetic for an entire episode about this bag, no? 

I knew there was some cosmic reason why I'd never bought an LL Bean Boat and Tote. It was so this could hold that special place in my heart, and my closet.
