If the sophisticated French women of the world have taught us anything, it's that no-one can have too many scarves. A lightweight, cotton scarf is the gift that keeps on giving. It's a must-have basic accessory to have in your arsenal!
Banana Republic, the maker of eternally classic pieces, makes a wonderful scarf wrap with a large white and blue paisley pattern on a light cotton. Paisley is a classic and versatile pattern that spices up solids but works with a small stripe print or faint plaid.
This scarf in rich navy with large scale paisley will look right on trend with a solid white shirt dress, flowing maxi, or a peasant skirt and tank. When the weather cools off, wrap it around your neck under a leather jacket with jeans and riding boots. Tres chic!
Just remember ... When it comes to scarves and cheese, the French are never wrong.
Where to Buy - Banana Republic
Price - $49.50

Nothing says beach day like the perfect new swimsuit, a hot pair of shades, and of course, a summery straw tote! I don't know what it is about the material, but straw bags just totally give off that carefree vacation vibe that I'm so ready to embrace! You may find it hard to justify spending big bucks on such a casual bag, but you'll be surprised to see just how chic this season's straw is. From cutesie polka dots to metallic details, some of these picks hardly look like the classic totes you're probably picturing! Sure, they tend to be a bit of a bottomless pit when it comes to tossing in all your necessities, but then again, who really needs a bunch of fancy compartments when all you're luggin' around is a towel, some sunscreen, and the latest issue of In Style? Check out the slideshow for my 10 favorite straw bags for summer!
