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

The Parisians understand simple elegance, and if you're looking to add a little 'ooh-la-la' to your look this summer then we suggest the Lilly Stud Cross Body Bag by French Connection.
The Utility Blue color adds a soft touch to flow-y summer outfits and really looks awesome against white paisley dresses.
Wear this bag conveniently across your shoulder with the adjustable strap, or frolic with ease by holding on to the attached handle. Your goodies are going nowhere with the lock fastening front flap, but style is never sacrificed as the gold of the fastening complements the suede material fabulously!
