The summer bag

I’m looking for one. It has to be practical, large and beautiful too. I also love the idea of a raffia clutch, ideal for an al fresco dining. Summer vacation is slowly taking over my thoughts. But until then I’m planning to enjoy this weekend out of the city. With a lovely tote along I hope. Happy Friday! Wishing you a relaxed, wonderful end of the week!

    Tell me about the hunt for a summer bag;) I hope you find the one you want very soon! These raffia bags are just fabulous for sunny days. I LOVE the Miu Miu and Zara ones. Every summer I went to France I thought about buying a raffia bag on the lovely markets there, but I never made it to the action itself unfortunately.. Enjoy your weekend out of the city Ada 🙂

    I have one of the Michael Kors clutches in green and rattan— I love it & get lots of compliments on it!
    A great woven bag is key for summer!

    Hi Ada! Those strawbags are so perfect for a weekend get away! I can’t wait to quit my job and move to a new place, just starting over. Today has been extremely exhausting, especially my boss who likes to nitpick things and all she does is finding my mistakes and never say thank you when I go out of my way to do something. She stepped on my foot today and even though she knows it, she didn’t even say sorry! I’m sorry if my mood is a little bit off today but I’m kind of tired and I have to wake up early tomorrow. Have a lovely day! xoxoxoo

    These are so perfect for the summer. Love the one in Vogue and the Zara one could double as a great beach bag!
