The Christine Bucket is quite deep and roomy so you can actually use it as your everyday bag for work.

On the other hand, if you want something light and small, the Check Please Organizer would be the most ideal. It is quite handy if all you need to bring are a few bills, your checkbook, your cell, and a compact.

This collection only comes in a classic combination of black and chocolate, so it will be really easy for you to wear and pair with outfits.

You can get your own set of Brighton Christine Bucket Shoulder and matching Brighton Check Please Organizer at Zappos.com

In case you find the Brighton Christine Bucket Shoulder a little big for you, you may purchase the Brighton Christi Small Bucket instead:

Cameron Diaz and Her Tourista Chic Get-Up in Peru

I have always been an admirer of Cameron Diaz ever since she came out in Mask (yes, that was her with Jim Carrey). I especially like the way she manages to look good effortlessly. Apart from the fact that she is blessed with a tall and slim figure, she always makes the right style choices. I’m not just talking about red carpet fashion; I’m talking about her everyday style. This is why she is a favorite among fashion critics and photographers.

I was looking through some of her pictures and came across these shots of her while she was touring in Peru.

Doesn’t she just look fabulous? Tourista chic is how I’d like to put it. The bag obviously completes the whole get-up. This bag however, more popularly known as the Mao Bag, got her into trouble in Peru. Apparently, the red star, and the slogan printed in Chinese reminded the people of Peru of a Maoist insurgency that happened in the 80s and left thousands of people dead.

Of course, Ms. Diaz apologized since she clearly had no idea wearing that chic messenger bag was politically offensive.

If you want to get this tourista chic look, put on your well-worn cargo pants, some long sleeve pullover or sweater, top it with a hat and shawl, and complete the get up with the Brighton Peace Straw Convertible Strap Tote.
