I am going to a resort in Bali next week, and I cannot wait! I am looking forward to a week of pure relaxation with plenty of lounging and yoga. Packing is easy: I am going ensure I’m comfortable in kaftans, shorts, and maxi skirts, but the bags are what will set the mood.
Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer, and it welcomes the official start of the travel season. And that means we need the perfect travel companion: the right bags! This time, it’s on the outside that counts.
There are bags that make a statement, and then there are bags that MAKE a statement. The trend that takes the meaning literally makes for kitschy fun, and it also makes things clear: your bag is more than just a mere fashion accessory.
Espadrilles, bikinis (or well-designed maillots), floppy straw hats, and cutoff jean shorts all obviously speak of summer to some degree, but if you ask me, there’s nothing that symbolizes the season like striped beach bags.
What a great new shape for Miu Miu! Their entire Spring ’15 collection feels simultaneously nostalgically thrown-back in spirit yet so fresh, so invigorated. Which basically sums up this latest leather tote.
There’s a reason this Alexander McQueen style is named the Legend. A tote like this is in it for the long haul. We’ve already loved in it graphic floral-printed form, as well as a more structured and shapely incarnation, but it’s this newest edition that has me staring.
