Summer is here, and nothing is better than strutting on the beach in style. I live in South Florida, and every year it seems that designer beach goods are becoming more and more popular. Everywhere you look in Florida fashionista’s are purchasing designer swimwear, towels, sandals, and even beach bags.

One of prettiest beach bags I came across was the Milly Della Fonte Beach Tote. The beach bag is so colorful, that it scream Summer. Everything from the hardware to the floral print make this bag look beautiful.

What I love most about this bag, is that it doesn’t look like your everyday beach bag. I would use this bag for the beach, but I would also use it as a tote. It looks like a bag someone would take out of their closet and use anytime during the Summer, not just the beach. Another cute feature about the bag, is the adorable matching zipper pouch that comes with it. It matches the bag perfectly and is definitely an added bonus to the already stunning beach tote.

The only downfall about this bag, is it you do decide to use it at the beach the sand could become a problem. Usually beach bags have little holes in them so that most of the sand can come out before you put your bag back into your car. There are no holes on Milly Della Fonte Beach Tote, so you may have to do some serious cleaning to it once you leave the beach.

The Milly Della Fonte Beach Tote can be purchased at Shop Bop on sale for $114.60, which is a great price being that the original price of the tote was $382. Don’t miss your last chance to get this beautiful beach tote at this amazing low price!

I’ve never been too fond of the Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc collection.. Fashionista’s world wide have been in love with Miss Marc for some time, but to me the collection was always so bland. I recently came across the Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc Tote, and I was pleasantly surprised that I actually loved it! It wasn’t tacky, and was the perfect little tote for a sunny day.

The tote is made of canvas, has dual handles, and has a front exterior zip pocket. The measurements of the tote are, 14″ wide x 14 1/2″ high giving you plenty of room for all of your essentials. Only downfall about this handbag is that I wouldn’t wear this tote all year round. Being that the handbag is white with colors, and features Miss Marc on the front; I would strictly wear this handbag during the day and only in the Spring and Summer. To me, the handbag is too fun and wild to be worn in the Fall or Winter, but of course that is just my opinion.

The Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc Tote can be purchased at Zappos for $129, which is a great price compared to the $152 original price tag. Miss Marc is one of Marc Jacob’s most popular designs, and if you like the tote I would purchase it quickly because with a sale price like that I’m sure it won’t be around for long.

Here’s an item that would rank on the top of my list of handbags I would never be caught wearing. Meet the Patent Leather Basket Tote by Miu Miu. I am a fan of the Italian based brand Miu Miu, from their feminine leather handbags to their bold and funky shoes, I love them all. So I was in complete utter shock when I ran into this tote of theirs. Who’s the brains behind this bag and why didn’t they complete it? The handbags details are as shocking as it gets, glossy black patent leather forms the weave silhouette of this basket-like tote bag; with all those openings found throughout this bag, you can kiss some of your smallest essentials goodbye. Miu Miu prepared this tote with a removable drawstring satin pouch to keep your stuff private, and it’s pretty disappointing how much it looks like a dust bag rather than a removable pouch.

Ladies what’s your input on this Miu Miu, would you wear this? If you have your eye on this unique tote, you can find it in patent black or red for $660, (that’s 20% off it’s retail value).

Juicy Couture wants to keep its fans to the minute with the latest trendy handbags your Couture bucks can buy. Check out the latest tote bag to hit the Velour section, the Day Dreamer Floral Tote. Yes, most Day Dreamers do sport flowery charms and trinkets, but this Day Dreamer has a slightly different aspect. This tote sports a bohemian chic look that would compliment any casual day summer look. I’d never been one to turn down black velour and the fact that the overall color is black is a plus in my book. Looking further into the details, I’m really digging the double braided leather handles; they fit in with the theme, perfectly. Multicolor floral embroidering and a discreet embroidering among the flower stems read Juicy. Crowns, butterflies, a leather tassel, and a giant flower charm all found among the clutter as well.

This would make the perfect bag for girls of all ages. The fashion staff over at Net-A-Porter prove this with their mannequin, as you don’t necessarily have to be in your teens to rock this tote!

I have always loved Juicy Couture’s canvas totes. They are so big and spacious that you can fit so much in them and still have so much room. They are definitely ideal for a college student who has to carry so many books, notebooks, and a lap top. Another plus to this tote is that is has a magnetic closure. I have seen many Juicy Couture totes in person, and I don’t remember ever seeing a magnetic closure on one. A magnetic closure is definitely an added plus to the already gorgeous Juicy Couture tote.

Some details of the tote include having interior pockets and logo print lining. Also, if the tote ever happens to get dirty from everyday wear, that’s ok because it can be machine washed! The tote comes in a gorgeous magenta-like color and has the saying, “From Juicy With Love” on it. If you are looking for a simple but yet stylish tote, this is without a doubt one of the cutest totes I have seen in a while!

The Juicy Couture Generation Y Canvas Tote can be purchased at Nordstrom for $78, which I think is a great price for this tote. The tote may be on the simple side, but it is a designer tote. For a designer tote, that’s fashionable and cute it’s definitely worth the money!

It’s time to tuck in your fall/winter handbags and bring out the bright ones. Here’s a perfect candidate for World’s Most Colorful Handbag.

Just take a look at how cheerful and fun this is, it sort of reminds me of a piñata or of the cheery background page of a scrapbook. Shopbop (dot com) claims this is the ultimate resort bag, what do you ladies think? I can’t really argue with that statement as I can see why they would refer to it as that.

This bag is composed of woven dyed sea grass and colorful crochet raffia overlaps the grassy texture. My favorite feature found on the Ile Ste. Marie Tote would have to be the double squared wooden handles although they do look really uncomfortable.

This earthy bag would make a great companion to your trip to the beach and would look great with any summer dress this season.

More features include a straw interior, a patch pocket, and a button closure to keep your essentials private from its open top. This imported summer bag measures 11” x 17” x 8” and currently retails for $85.

Any Emilio Pucci print fans out there? I call him the King of Prints, and each season I totally look forward to seeing the latest geometrical prints hitting the runway. It’s those funky bold colors and designs that always fascinate me. New to S/S 09’ is the Yellow Multi Print Shopper. Just take a look at those colors, how could you not be mesmerized by them? Seeing the collaboration of asymmetrical shapes and colors brings childhood memories of hours spent fascinated with a toy kaleidoscope I once owned. I say this would make a perfect accessory to your summer wardrobe. Pair this shopper with white pants and flirty tops or your favorite summer dress for a chic and playful look. Made of a colorful coated canvas body with soft blue-grained leather trim, and weighed down with contrasting silver toned hardware, I can’t see how anybody wouldn’t like this piece. Pretty bags don’t come cheap as you can preorder this Pucci for $660. Measuring 16.5” x 13” x 8” and available in the colorful but washed down version of Peach/Green Multi, pick up this boxy shopper in your favorite version.
