The holidays are coming!

And here comes the holiday season! Can you believe it? It's about to real crazy, real fast So what are we seeking? Simplicity. Easy and stress-free. We want to be able to get up and out of the house without it being a huge production!

Well, there are a few things that can help. Just take it step by step. And the first? A great tote bag. A decent size bag that will hold everything you need for work, running errands and even squeezing a few minutes in at the gym. One bag that's works for many different elements of your life. And cute too! Check out some of our favorites.

We love a good Michael Kors bag. So classic and smart looking. He does totes too! Just look at this one. What a gorgeous bag! We love the shape of this tote. And we have no doubt it will hold everything you'll need. Just throw your lunch in on your way out the door and you're ready for the day!

Maybe simplicity for you is a smaller bag. Not a problem! Check out this smaller, structured tote. It's a little bit more manageable and more portable. If you don't need to tote as many things around, this might be the bag for you! We think this is a great work bag!

Maybe you are longing for a pop of color? We have a tote for that too! Check out this bright red bag by Rebecca Minkoff. Gorgeous! We love the box bottom on this bag. It makes it easier to find things when you set it down. It gives a great amount of structure to this bag. What a beauty!

Are we saying a tote bag is the answer to all your problems? Not at all! But it can be a step in the right direction. And well,  who doesn't want a new handbag?

It's time to get cozy!

Happy Christmas Eve! Don't you just want to bundle up? Oh yes, it's time to get cozy! We think a infinity scarf is just the thing. It's going to be the finishing touch to that layered marshmallow-like look.

We like infinity scarves because well... they are easy. Putting them on is a snap! No need to wrap around or tie. Just put it over your head and you are set to head out the door. We have our eye on this one from Topshop. We'e big fans of the heathered, fleck pattern. It's a great way to put a twist on a basic. Such a beautiful scarf! 

If you are going to be warm, why not look fabulous while doing it? That sounds like a win-win situation to us! Fur is fab in our book! Check out this fur infinity scarf by Ugg Australia. We think this will give you a really polished winter look. And the shearling will keep you toasty warm! 

And you can't go wrong with a big chunky scarf. This has to be our favorite winter look. Check out this one! The golden color and the braided look? So perfect! The best thing about an infinity scarf? You can pull it up around your ears and face. Bring on the arctic wind! We have our armor! 

All of here at the Latex Store want to say.... Happy holidays to you and yours!
