Summer Bags

Posted by Posh Mommy

Last weekend I had brunch with some girlfriends - I had a fabulous time and it was oh so nice to catch up with these lovely ladies.  I was lamenting about how exciting it was to to be carrying a clutch - as any mom can attest, you won't get very far with a clutch when out with your toddlers.  I am lucky if I can leave the house without a bag the size of a carry on.  Needless to say, the topic of handbags came up - and my friend had asked for my suggestions on a summer appropriate handbag.  My response was something woven.  Woven bags always seem so perfect for the Spring/Summer and a welcome change in texture from the heavy handbags we usually tote in the colder months. So, friend (you know who you are) I am posting a few of my favorite picks on the higher and lower ends.  Hope something catches you fancy - or at least gives you some ideas.

I love this bag - the woven construction makes it warm weather friendly but it without being too casual.   Plus, it's still big enough to carry my kid's essentials.  At $345 it's on the higher end but definitely a classic that could be used for many seasons to come.  For more details click here.

Another high end item - this clutch by Anya Hindmarch is absolutely fabulous.  Look at that tortoise shell detail on the front flap.

This little number is my mid range option - okay so perhaps it's a bit above mid range but worth the splurge.  Cole Haan's quality is always exceptional and this bag is a classic.  It's on sale for $259.95 plus Cole Haan is offering an additional 20% off sale items.  Use the code EXTRA 20 to cash in.

I really like this clutch by Banana Republic as well - and at the bargain price of $39.99 is a great option for those balmy summer nights.  Paired this with your favorite sleeveless LBD and heels then grab your hubby and head to your favorite spot for a romantic dinner for two.

I found this one via the Shop Style website - which by the way is a fabulous resource as it links you to the product offerings of several retailers.  This bag is by New York and Company and at $26.36 (it's on sale) a great and inexpensive option.
