/24-7PressRelease/ - Beverly Hills, CA, June 06, 2005 - While most fashion designers are content to launch a new line every season, handbag designer Mary Jo Matsumoto dives headlong into the best totes on the market this season in her weekly fashion column at http://www.sheknows.com. She also offers bonus tips on the ultimate mystery books to tuck into them as well as the loveliest sandals to slip on.
Says Matsumoto, "As a handbag designer, it was really fun to put together a list of my favorite summer bags. Having seen almost everything on the market, the totes in this roundup scored high in my book. I think you'll like the fabulous sandals too—they range from luxurious to great seasonal buys. And remember, it's not just about having the greatest bag on the beach, it's about the quality of your life. Be sure to stash some good mystery books in your tote. If you haven't experienced the bluesy fun of devouring a thrilling page-turner during steamy hot weather, you're missing out!"
Included in her roundup are hand silk-screened totes by Maine artist Ann Veronica, classic bright Bermuda pattered totes by Vera Bradley, whimsical Myna Bags, and great buys from Newport News and J.C. Penny. The list of summer's best sandals include picks from Amy Jo Gladstone, Sigerson Morisson, On Your Feet, and Chinese Laundry. Matsumoto also suggests a tantalizing summer reading list which run the gamut from hardboiled to clever and exotic, including books by authors by Reed Farrel Coleman, Denise Hamilton, Susan Candel, George Pelecanos, and Eric Stone.
