The Supermom: Reese Witherspoon
Why she’s your muse: This Southern belle is often seen with preppy, ladylike pieces.
Signature bag: The tote. Structured and easy to wear, it’s the perfect shape for storing all of your essentials. Bonus points for floral prints and a feminine color palette.
Get the look: Try a carry-everywhere shape that can hold all the essentials. Skip neutrals in favor of girly favorites like bubblegum pink or gold.

The OG Blogger: Chiara Ferragni (a.k.a. The Blonde Salad)
Why she’s your muse: This international street-style star proves that it’s all about wearing designer clothes in a cool, over-the-top way – especially when it comes to accessories.
Signature bag: The mini statement-maker. For the eccentric or the risk-taker, a pom-adorned crossbody is playfully chic.
Get the look: Look for small, hands-free styles that have a special element. Statement hardware and metallic accents contrast perfectly against these neutral shapes.

The Boss Lady: Anna Wintour
Why she’s your muse: This living legend shows that you can stick to familiar silhouettes, but taking chances on bold prints and bright colors is so much more fun.
Signature bag: The timeless top-handle. This boxy carrier will add some structure and polish to any ensemble, just ask Anna.
Get the look: Go ladylike with a side of daring. Opt for subtle details – like white snakeskin or gold statement hardware – to elevate the interest of an otherwise classic box shape.
