J. Crew summer cuteness.

In a quest for fun cosmetic/toiletry bags, as mentioned in my last post, I visited Banana Republic (eh) and then surfed on over to J. Crew, where I found lots of cute bags for summer, including these canvas totes on the Men's Shop side of their website. Only $68.00, and a fairly large size for your summer toting needs: 15"H x 17"W x 7 1/2"D. The black and white rugby stripe is my favorite.

The Women's Shop held this nifty little surprise: a green straw flamingo tote that I'd never have imagined I'd fall in love with. I love green, so the color was a given to draw me in. And who can resist pink flamingos?

I love the pretty striped lining, especially the way the fabric is used as a scarf-tie closure for the bag. Holy cow, this thing is pretty swoopy: 9" handle drop. 12"H x 25"W at top, 10 1/2"W at base x 7"D. So pretty and feminine, and only $48.00! I want one.

Mmmmm, I like the styling of this hobo. The description says the leather trim is canary yellow, but it looks softer, to me, like butter yellow. $185.00, not bad. It comes in white too, but the yellow is awfully pretty.

Buttery yellow hobos aside, I do believe that green flamingo tote is going to be coming to live with me. Now I need a huge pair of sunglasses and I'll be summer fabulous.

Today's bag: Pierotucci Birkin-inspired bag.
