{the it bag of spring is still straw}

Last summer we started seeing straw totes, clutches, and bags everywhere. This year it's no different. Every shape and size (particularly round or oversized) is being sold in stores right now. They range from pale beige to black and have every color tassel, pom-pom, or ribbon imaginable. I'm thrilled! A straw tote is really durable and the perfect bag to dress up or down. Plus, all of my bags from last year are still considered "in" haha ;)

I'm not joking when I say I styled my straw tote a million different ways... it traveled with me to Chicago, the Hamptons, and all over DC! I gave it some charm by tying on a silk scarf or adding a pom-pom tassel (found at Francesca's!). I'm sharing some of the different ways I styled it last summer below.

And I have no idea why I didn't photograph my little straw clutch more... it was my top purchase of last summer and I carried it everywhere when I went out. I got more compliments from guys than I did anyone else! It was just big enough to fit my iPhone too!

I've invested in a couple more this year (yes, even though it's only February) because I want to be able to reach for a cute, new bag right when spring starts! Scroll through my top picks available this year - some are pricier than others so just consider how often you will carry it. You're gonna want to grab 1 or 2 for your spring and summer wardrobe :)

Love Always,
