Summer Bags

Another fun way to spruce up a basic summer outfit is to add a fabulous handbag. While I love colorful bags year round, I also feel they are easier to wear during the summer. Here are some of my favorite bags for summer.

1. Dooney & Bourke 'Small Chiara' retails for $295 and is also available in turquoise, yellow, and white.
2. See by Chloe 'Full on Small Reversible Tote' retails for $495 and can be turned inside out to reveal plain red leather.
3. Marc by Marc Jacobs 'Dr. Q Lil Riz' retails for $428 and is also available in black and tan. If purple is more your color, a very, very similar version (the 'Dr. Q Grace') is available exclusively on eLuxury and retails for the same price.
4. Tory Burch 'Tory' retails for $250 and is also available in pink and white.
