Straw Poll

This week's posts have been all about summer favorites. Today we're finishing strong with the straw clutch. I love this medium because it's beachy but structured in shape. It works great for a Saturday dinner al fresco or a destination wedding. The style is so versatile.

Banana Republic, Dot Straw Clutch, $58

How great is this bag? Polka dots in straw? Count me in.

JCrew, Rattan Clutch, $88

This is a strong clutch. It's sturdy, leather closure, and perfect beads to stand on.

Anthropologie, Wittenberg Crossbody, $88

Leave it to Anthro to crush the straw pattern game. The stripes, texture, color!

H&M, Braided Clutch Bag, $17

Simple, under $20, can't go wrong!

Accessorizing for summer is so easy with a straw clutch. Grab your phone, keys, cards, and lipstick and walk out the door.

Don't Make Me Blush

The calendar says it's spring. The thermometer may not agree but I'm ready to break out the sandals and pastels. Maybe its a few weeks early for open toe shoes but bring on the spring with pinks and light blue hues. Today we're looking at some perfectly spring blush bags. They feel like May even when you feel like October.

Last Call Neiman Marcus, Metallic Trim Faux Leather Bucket Bag, $100 $45

Hello pinch me pink. This bag is easy to wear to work or tie on a short scarf for play.

Old Navy, Faux Leather Tassel Saddle Bag, $34

Didn't think Old Navy was this chic, did you? 

Ann Taylor, Signature Crossbody Bag, $98

Blush with a pebbly finish, what a simple extra oomph for a ladylike bag.

Modcloth, Worth the Tassel Bag, $59

Doublesided tassel and an adjustable shoulder strap. All under $60!

Spring means pastel and sunshine and while I can't guarantee the latter, I love blush for spring especially in something as easy as a new bag.

Bullseye

Happy Monday lovebugs,
Today I need you to focus. I need you to hone in on one store that is just crushing the handbag game right now. It's Target. I know, right? But seriously, I cannot get enough of these bags right now. Let me explain...

Target, Women's Satchel Handbag, $44

Oh hey there perfection under $50. This color isn't quite winter enough for hunter green but not spring enough for emerald. It's a happy fall medium.

Target, Polka Dot Pattern Satchel, $49

Personally I'd tie a pop of orange or yellow to this bag in the form of a silk scarf. But then again, a simple polka dot is pretty chic for fall.

Target, Quilted Satchel Handbag with Chain Detail, $34

Ladylike, feminine, insert the adjective, it doesn't matter, this bag is gorgeous.

Target, Crossbody Handbag, $26

Very retro for fall which is quite hot right now. I love the mix of colors with the clean lines.

If you haven't been there recently, I suggest you get to your nearest Target asap. These bags and so many more are ready to live in your closet and not break your budget!

Crossbody Do It All

We haven't looked at purses in quite some time. I think we're overdue for a utility bag. Something that isn't for a night on the town, but that's why you love it. It's your do it all day long bag. It's sturdy, stylish, and easy to throw on and go. It's your cross body satchel.

Last Call Neiman Marcus, Dotted Turn Lock Satchel, $37

This bag is on super sale only until the 11th so grab it while you can!

Sole Society, Baylen, $49

I like this understated bag because it's classic. You could also add some personality to it by tying a silk scarf around the top handle.

Target, Mini Satchel Handbag, $29

I love mint for spring and by having this in my closet, I think spring make come quicker.

Forever 21, Faux Leather Crossbody Satchel, $22

The rounded edges of this bag give it a nice feminine touch, but the contrasting edging gives it some pop.

Grabbing my go to bag for daytime can take many forms, but these cross body options are easy and beautiful for any occasion.

Go Ahead, Cross Me

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I hope you had a great weekend. Here we are back to the start of the week and I don't know about you but Mondays are for juggling. The email inbox, the to do list, the meetings, everything comes at once. You need both hands. You know what you carry when you need both hands? A crossbody bag.

I love this bag for all of it's quirky details. A medical bag-style handle, the snap closure pocket, and the wax canvas.

You really can't beat this price point. I love this luggage inspired bag.

Zappos, Dooney and Bourke Polka Dot Small North/South, $98

Is this little bag expensive? Yes. Is it a classic brand with quality materials in an adorable print? Heck yes. 

A great crossbody is perfect for  a busy weekend day. Just toss in your essentials and walk out the door.

Lots of love,

Kels
