Does anyone remember the Juicy Couture Sunrise Tote that I wrote about back in March? After what seemed like the longest winter on record, I was ready to start thinking about beach totes. I mean, what better way to get yourself revved up for those warm and sunny months? Now I’m not saying that my feelings have changed about the Juicy Couture Sunrise Tote. It is still a really cute bag! But I recently came across this newer bag from Juicy Couture called the Coastal Butterfly Tote and… oh… my… gosh! What an adorable bag! I am in love with the vertical, pink and white striping. I could totally see myself sporting this bag at the beach for Memorial Day weekend. I also love the large butterfly graphic adorning the front side of this bag.

You know what sounds really nice right now? A romantic weekend getaway! Of course, this picture-perfect trip would not be complete without a picture-perfect travel bag. Personally, I like a classic duffel style. That’s why I really like this Kate Moss for Longchamp Gloucester Weekender Travel Bag. That’s right! The iconic face behind the Longchamp name now has her very own collection! These bags really capture the essence of Kate’s day-to-day look. Inspired by vintage luggage, the Gloucester Weekender Travel Bag is effortlessly timeless. I really like the look and feel of this bag — carefree, yet stylish.

My favorite part about this bag, however, is the unexpected surprise inside! Simply open it up to reveal a fun, zebra-print lining! And, as an added bonus, this bag also comes with a matching zebra-print scarf! So if you’re looking for a classic travel bag, I would definitely suggest giving this gorgeous piece a second look. But if the simple beauty of this bag doesn’t convince you, perhaps its utilitarian design will.

The thought of a pen exploding inside of a designer purse is squirming, let alone getting ink or some kind of paint substance on the exterior of your bag. That’s why the majority of us bagista’s are quite cautious when taking our bags for the day and would avoid any harsh stains to the best ability. For once, a splatter of ink on a handbag never looked so good; meet the Bayswater ink-print leather bag by Mulberry.

I’ve been looking for quite some time, for a designer travel bag. I love the Louis Vuitton “Keepall” bags, but I kind of wanted something black. Using a bag as a travel bag can get dirty very easily especially if you travel a lot. My travel bags are notorious for getting fifty, so I knew a Louis Vuitton “Keepall” was definitely out of the question for me.

I have a black travel bag now, and you can’t even notice the wear and tear on it. I use it constantly, and for it to still look brand new is amazing.

When I spotted the Burberry “Weekender” Bag, I was in love! It was everything I was looking for in a designer travel bag! It was black, the perfect size, and came with a shoulder strap. I tend to carry a lot of shoes in my travel bags, so a shoulder strap is always a must.

It doesn’t look like you would be able to fit much in this bag, but I do think it would be a great carry on bag. Face it, nowadays you can’t have a big carry on bag to bring with you on the plane. If you can find a bag that can hold some clothes, shoes, and personal items then you got a winner. When a travel bag can do all that, plus be made by one of your favorite designer’s then that makes it all the more reason to buy it! Right?

The Burberry “Weekender” Bag can be purchased at Nordstrom for $795, which I believe is a great price for this bag. It’s not very often you can find a designer travel bag below $1,000 and that is a fact! It’s pretty, simple, and does justice for what you need it for. I give Burberry a “thumbs up” for designing this beautiful piece!

Juicy Couture always has the cutest totes, and the “Set List Embellished Cotton Canvas Tote” is no different. Juicy Couture’s tote’s are usually on the large side and have an open top. It’s nice to see the designer brand come out with a smaller tote that indeed has a zipper closure.

I’m not sure if I would never use this tote, but I won’t deny the fact that it’s super cute. It reminds me of something a younger girl would use as a purse or gym bag for school.

What I like most about this tote is jewel-embellished logo. I would consider this bag to be fairly simple, but the jewels give the bag that touch to make it look a little flashy.

The quirky sayings accent the bag well. It’s like when you look at the bag, you can’t help but read them. My favorite ones are, “Juicy loves drama” and “I love night in the city.” I don’t know about Juicy Couture loving drama, but a lot of Juicy items I would say are on the dramatic side, which makes the designer brand so fabulous.

Juicy does go way over the top with anything they come out with and I do believe that is what makes them stand out in the crowd. Everything is always: pink, outrageous, and definitely stunning.

The Juicy Couture “Embellished Cotton Canvas Tote” can be purchased at Saks Fifth Avenue for $88, which is a steal for a Juicy bag. Juicy Couture bags are pretty high priced, so to see one under $100 is amazing! If you have a younger daughter, grand-daughter, or niece you may want to check out this tote for them!
