5 Popular Summer Handbags

Hi everyone! Summer is just around the corner (I know my teacher friends are jumping for joy) and with that comes a whole new opportunity to update your summer handbag collection. I love a good straw handbag paired with a breezy sundress. Or a woven tote on the beach! Below I’ve rounded up 5 options ideal for this season.

These may look familiar to you as I’ve already been putting them to use. Hey — when it’s good it’s good! No need to wait until summer to sport these fun woven handbags.

Which bag suits your style this summer? xx Ashley

1. ROUND TOTE BAG

Clare V. Straw Bag

This bag is a bit of a splurge for a straw tote, but I just love the shape and structure. It holds so much and doesn’t lose its shape. We see the smaller one so often and this larger size is really nice.  If you’re wanting to partake in this trend for less, I’d check out this circle tote.

Alice Tote (Similar options here, here, here and here.) | Sanctuary Eyelet Blouse | Current/Elliot ‘The Stiletto’ Denim (Similar options here and here.) | Sarah Chloe Pinky Signet Ring | MICHELE Sidney Diamond Watch (Similar budget friendly options here and here.) | YSL Liquid Matte Lip Stain in ‘7 Nu Interdit’ (Reviewed here.) 

2. ACRYLIC CLUTCH 

Black Acrylic Bamboo Clutch

I know you guys have seen this bag before, but I think this acrylic bag is so much fun. I actually just ordered it in pink. Perfect for summer, and under $100!

3. SMALL BASKET BAG 

Basket Wicker Bag

I’ve been wearing this bag so much lately. It’s a great size, and I love that you can tie the fabric to “close” the top. It actually holds a lot too. I took this on a trip a few months ago and was able to get my big DSLR camera, cardholder and a few lipsticks in it as well.

Similar options here, here and here.) | Similar Jean Jacket (20% off!) | Chelsea28 Layla 58mm Sunglasses in ‘Matte Tort’ | Baublebar Love You Heart Ring (Similar option here.) | Charlotte Tilbury ‘Lip Cheat’ Liner and Matte Lipstick in ‘Pillow Talk’

4.SMALL ROUND SHOULDER BAG

Round Straw Bag

This bag is such a showstopper. I always get asked about this little bag when I wear it. It continues to sell out, so be sure to grab it while you can! 

In terms of functionality, it will hold your phone, lipstick and a small card holder.

Round Straw Crossbody

Original Outfit Post HERE.

Round Straw Bag | Ella Moon Robyn Sheer Ruffle Button Down Blouse (Fit: Runs small, so be sure to size up.) | MICHELE Sidney Diamond Watch (Similar budget-friendly options here and here.) | AG Denim (Similar options here, here and here.) | Gold Thumb Ring | CND Shellac Nail Polish in ‘Romantique’

5. PACKABLE STRAW TOTE

This Packable Straw Tote is the ideal travel tote. It literally rolls up eliminating any extra bulk in your suitcase. You better believe this will be accompanying me on our family beach trip in June!

This outfit is a sneak peek of a collaboration coming in the next few weeks! Outfit details will be coming soon.
