Accessories are the easiest way to update your wardrobe each season, and now that Summer is here, it’s time to find a few warm weather apropos bags. There are so many fun options to choose from, and thankfully, you don’t have to go broke when buying a new Summer bag. For the longest I carried the same tote every day because I carried so much stuff around with me (and I usually had my camera), but lately, I’ve actually been swapping out the tote for something a little chicer, and have been really enjoying growing my handbag collection. I lucked up and found a circular straw bag a few months ago, but I want one a little bit smaller; I’m also eager to get in on the clear bag trend as well.

What’s your favorite bag to carry in the Summer?
I tend to go for clutches in the summer. They just feel lighter than a heave bag. I had to jump on the clear bag trend last summer for a concert since most stadiums have implemented policies banning anything except a clear bag. I do want one of those trendy basket-type bags. I plan to add one to my collection this summer.
