CURRENTLY LOVING: 15 HANDBAGS AND TOTES FOR SUMMER

 

Are you someone who loves and uses handbags or totes?
Do you prefer finding inexpensive ones that you don’t have to worry about, or do you enjoy splurging on a new designer bag every now and then?
I am sure in-between the two! I love my designer handbags and get so much use out of them, but lately I have been gravitating toward wearing and using totes and I am on a hunt for a new one! They are practical for this phase of my life. Puffs – throw them in, diapers, toys and snacks toss them in! Random other crap — might as well toss it in too! haha They make for a perfect everyday mom bag. Today I wanted to share what I am currently loving and share 15 Summer Handbags and Totes

Lately I have been using and loving my MZ Wallace Medium Metro tote. It really can hold so much, but what I love most about the bag is how lightweight it is. So no matter what I decide to throw inside it still doesn’t ever feel heavy. I am sharing a similar option below that I wish I had, because of the crossbody strap!

15 SUMMER HANDBAGS AND TOTES

1// Fendi Roma Shopper 
Hello beautiful tote!! I am so obsessed with this. I really need to add a Fendi bag to my collection. Lately I have been so into totes just because they are so practical for throwing all the kids things into them.

 

2// Antonietta Woven Bag 
Such a great price. Under $100 and looks like it is designer. Comes in this fun dark orange color, but also available in pink.

 

3// Anya Leather Tote Bag 
Such a fun (almost) tie dye pattern. It also is available in a blue pattern as well. What I love about this one is that it is leather which makes it great for Summer. Could work for a beach or pool bag and can we wiped down.

 

4// Leopard Shopper Clutch
Adorable right?? Loving this cute shopper clutch and am thinking of ways I would use this as an excuse to buy it!

 

5// Faithfull Hannah Linen Tote 
Cute and girly! I love that this is linen which is such a fun change in a tote. It would be super lightweight I am assuming which is kind of really nice for all day outings.

 

6// Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag 
I need this belt bag! I have a few belt bags but I don’t have any anthletic ones. I think this would be great to pack your phone in when going on a neighborhood walk, beach stroll, or hiking. I even think just wearing leggings or bike shorts this is a perfect bag. With no pockets for you phone, this is the perfect solution.

 

7// Clare V. Ciao Tote Bag 
Loving all the fun prints and patterns of this bag. It looks big and spacious too. Perfect for a weekend getaway.

 

8// Embroidered Bag Strap 
I think this bag strap would be perfectly paired with #10 below!

 

9// Fly to The Moon Canvas Tote 
A fun edgy everyday tote. Perfect size to throw in anything you need for a full day outing.

 

10// Lettie Crossbody Bag 
Simple and cute. Comes in a few other colors but this nude/tan is such a great versatile color for Summer.

 

11// MZ Wallace Max II Tote 
I have this tote HERE in the mushroom color and absolutely love it! I got it early spring of this year and have been using it non stop. Great mama bag too. This particular bag wasn’t available when I purchased my tote and I wish it was. I would choose this Max II tote over mine because of the crossbody strap! Game changer.

 

12// Apolis Tote 
My sweet assistant Mia, got me a smaller version of this bag for me at Christmas. It was customizable with Navy Grace on it. Seriously such a thoughtful gift. These bags are great and super cute and unique too.

 

13// Clare V. Rafeal Tote 
Love the clear bag trend, but maybe would prefer if it didn’t show everything in your bag. This Clare V. bag is a perfect solution.

 

14// Bamboo Beaded Bag 
Another bag under $100! Cute and trendy

 

15// Slouchy Tote Bag 
Really loving this color lately. Plus this slouchy bag trend is too much fun. I need to jump on this train!

 

16// Gucci Dionysus Mini Handbag 
I have had this bag for a couple years now and truly love it! I love the heavy metal, the classic Gucci logo pattern and this neutral color goes with so much! It’s an investment for sure, but I still haven’t gotten tired of it.

TOTE ORGANIZATION IDEAS

The only downside to using totes is the lack of organization. I wanted to share a few of my favorite ways to keep organized in totes. I have a couple of MZ Wallace totes and I just take out the pouches LIKE THESE  of the bag I am not using and keep things organized by adding them in the bag I am currently using. I tend to keep diapers, hand wipes and diaper changing pad in one, chapstick and lip glosses in another, medicine, sunscreen, nail clippers and other miscellaneous things in another larger one. That way everything has a home.

 

HERE ARE A FEW ORGANIZERS I LOVE

 

Truffle Clutch – I have these and love them. With them being clear and transparent makes seeing what is inside way easier to grab something quickly.

 

Truffle Pouch – I don’t have a pouch from Truffle, but I do love the extra added room to hold more items in your bag.

 

Clear Half Moon Pouch – I have these in both sizes! They are perfect for makeup, lipsticks and more. Large size HERE

 

Felt Bag Organizer only $24  – I don’t actually have this one, but I have heard so many great things about this. If you have a large tote and would prefer to keep things very organized this felt bag looks perfect.
