Top 5 Exotic Summer Bags to Take Into Fall

"The times they are a-changin," said Bob Dylan back in '64. Although this album was dealing with heavy social change, this line can also be applied (albeit, made a little more shallow) to fashion. As time goes on, style changes as well, making way for whole new wardrobes. While we can't always keep the same things in our closet forever, it doesn't mean that most of us don't attempt to attain the latest accessories and attire anyway.

Editor's Bag of the Week: SR Squared by Sondra Roberts

While many of us bagistas and fashionistas appreciate great handbags and wonderful fashion, not all of us can afford the price tags that come along with duds. Thus, this week's look of the week is completely budget-friendly. A bag for less than $60…shoes under $50…an entire look for $300. This SR Squared by Sondra Roberts St. Tropez Lizard Shoulder Bag is perfectly sweet and stylish this summer, but no need to break the bank. Gleaming gold hardware and a lizard-embossed body are all so lovely, but its gold chain strap adds sheen and glamor.
Nothing screams summertime like the nautical style of blues, white, and stripes. For decades it has proven to be the 'go-to' look for east and west coasters alike.

This Dooney & Bourke Zebra Chiarapatent leatherbag is a great way to mix casual stripes and high end fashion.

The Perfect Summer Bag

The sun is officially out and if you're anything like me, you spend your days sitting behind a computer, gazing out the window at the blue skies day-dreaming about being 10 again and summer vacation. If I'm lucky I may find myself meandering down to the pool for an hour or so on the weekend, where I then once again sit behind my iphone and work, so today I am sending out the message that we need to make some changes and stop reminiscing of the summer breaks we had as children and start reliving those sun drenched days of sprinklers, summer camp, sand castles and tree climbing.
