It’s yellow and slightly mellow! Diane von Furstenberg always carries out neat pieces that make fashionable and perfect casual wear. One of the latest arrivals to the Furstenberg collection is the Printed Kaya Tote, a nicely sized and patterned tote bag that arrives beach or poolside ready.
I adore the rich ethnicity vibe you get from these hippie inspired/bohemian pieces. If you don’t know much about Elliot Mann, he is the brain behind bringing together global fabrics and patterns that are highly accessible in New York City, hence the headquarters of his one-of-a-kind accessories. So unless you can afford to travel the world and collect your own international embellishments, Elliot Mann is a renowned name that can bring you that highly influenced bohemian style the world of fashion highly admires.
I don’t go to the beach very often, as it’s way too hot in Miami to the point you can barely breathe, but when I do I try to go as stylish as possible. I’m definitely one of those women that have designer beach goods like towels, dresses, umbrellas, sandals, bags etc. When I stumble on unique looking beach accessories I tend to want them including the Kate Spade New York “Westwind Drive Felice” Tote.
Usually, I’m not a fan of gold or silver fashion accessories I always thought they were too gaudy looking but in the past year or so I’ve fallen in love! I’ve come to the realization that sometimes flashy is good and fun! The “Westwine Drive Felice” Tote is unlike any beach tote I’ve ever seen before. I don’t recall ever seen a shiny gold beach tote that would shine amazingly in the sun!
Ideally the tote isn’t practical for the beach but it sure is gorgeous! For me, I like to carry my everything in my beach bag to prevent carrying lots of bags. For this tote, I’d made a sacrifice though and bring multiple bags.
Kate Spade New York is really making the best out of their summer with their unique sense of style and humor. As the heat waves approach us, what better representation of summer outings with an accessory that’s as bright and appealing as the Jezibel Flamingo Tote.
Do note that no flamingos were actually harmed for the production of this tote; it’s an all-canvas bag to be exact. But the natural silhouette of the flightless bird was funky enough to interpret into one of the season’s most unusual pieces.
When I was in grade school, we were encouraged to read as many books as we could. We kept track of how many books we had read by placing stars under our names on a bulletin board. I can’t remember how many books you had to read in order to get a very special reward, but I remember it seemed like a lot! What was the special reward, you ask? The opportunity to take a ride in a real hot air balloon! Gosh, I can remember waiting FOREVER for the day I would get to ride in that balloon. And when that day finally came, I was practically bursting with excitement. I remember waiting in line to get into the basket and then I remember climbing into the basket! And then we went a whole 20 feet up into the air before coming back down… Hmm, imagine my disappointment.
You’re probably wondering by now what the heck this story has to do with the bag you see pictured here. It’s called the Mini for Many Sailor Bag and it was this childhood memory that popped into my head the second I laid eyes on it.

I don’t know about all of you, but Juicy Couture just hasn’t been doing it for me lately when it comes to their Day Dreamer Totes. There is the new embroidered design here or the different ribbon embellishment there, but they don’t really change that much from season to season. It wasn’t long before I found myself passively yawning as I passed by the Juicy Couture display at my favorite local department store. All of this changed, however, during my latest little shopping trip (okay, I was really there to pay the bill but it’s always a good excuse to check out all the pretty new things). I walked past the large Juicy Couture display and this one bag just jumped out at me. It’s called the Juicy Couture Hi-Shine Day Dreamer!
Summer is vastly approaching us and I think when everyone thinks of it beaches, islands, getaways and the hot sun comes to people’s minds. I would say the most popular thing to do in the Summer is to visit the beach. I live in South Florida, 10 minutes from Miami to be exact, and all year long people flock here to visit the beach but especially during the Summer. The beach gets so packed that people are literally side by side to each other on the sand. Needless to say, I try to stay away from the beach but when I go I do like to look as fashionable as possible.
The Juicy Couture “Coronado” Beach Bag is the perfect accessory to accompany you at the beach. It would look cuter if it was navy blue and white to go with the whole sailor theme but it’s pretty adorable. The rope gives it that boat feeling, all it needed was a tiny anchor hanging from it!
