Summer is the perfect time to put away your big, bulky handbag and replace it with something slightly smaller and a lot more lightweight.
Who wants to be lugging around a whole lot of leather in steamy, sticky weather? The girls here at the Hive suggest choosing a canvas carryall or a pretty printed nylon tote.
One of our very favorites is Wool and the Gang's knitted Etenia Bag. Offered in several summery colors like taupe, turquoise and royal blue along with basic black and grey, the Etenia Bag is a compact, crocheted cross body cutie!
Made of Peruvian cotton and detailed with fringe, the boho chic bag is versatile enough to wear day or night. You'll take this bag from the beach to the streets because it's the perfect pouch to fit all your summer essentials ... bronzer, lip gloss and your cell.
Oh! And don't forget your sunscreen!
Where to Buy - Wool and the Gang
Price - $139.00
Who - Melimeli was the first to add the Etenia Bag to the Hive.

Don't worry -- we're not you trade in your style for something more risqué a la Lil' Kim. Finding kicks with tassels is a fun way to be on the brink of a an accessory that's been hitting fashion mainstream everywhere from earrings to halter-tops. Tassels are an embellishment on some already-started trends: like the loafers of classic working-wear and the tribal flair of boho chic. Strappy sandals for spring and summer are certainly a perfect venue for the feather-like, leather frills, although they're also an edgy accent to your evening heels, your everyday mules and your high-rise boots. For a way to really mold your style into a sharp, new look, flip through this slideshow of tassel-ized shoes!
