They go with practically everything and I’m all about saving time with a hectic schedule and two kids. However there are times where a handbag’s color will catch my eye. For summer it happens more often. This season I’ve fallen in love with purple and azure or anything that comes close to azure.

christian-dior-plisseI wanted a couple of bags to spruce up my boring basic bag that I use to carry my family’s stuff. That’s what moms are for right? I really liked this Christian Dior’s Plisse tote. It’s intricately designed and the pleating is amazing. The hardware made it feel a little more casual.  So I can stroll around with this anytime.

Each year I like to look at new beach bags, ok I should admit right now I have a fetish for Coach Hampton bags. This year a new trend caught my eye. Not at a store either. My daughter had a bag hung on her door. It was simple bag made out of cotton fabric with rope. The only design it had on it was a single flower. I went to look online for some bags like these for the beach and pool. fabrictote

To my surprise there are lots of options! Target calls them eco bags, Kohls has them online and you can find them from street vendors in the city for a few bucks.  I even saw Jessica Alba in a magazine carrying one while in Central Park. New trend? I don’t know. But I can tell you they are great beach/pool bags! I got a couple from Target for around $10 each. Love it, love it, love it!
