Sundays bring out the best in us. It's our day of rest and relaxation ... and during the summer, it's a day for the beach!
But you can't head out to the sun and sand without the right arm-candy to carry your magazines, books (Kindles and iPads included), and UV protection creams. That perfect bag should be a sturdy straw tote like this one.
We're not trying to stress you out by making you think about your Sunday bag choice, instead, we're trying to make it even easier on you. If you have the right bag, you can keep your beach goods ready to go in it. Easy, peasy ... no thinking required.
And just before you plop onto the sand, you can even make a quick run to the farmer's market to get yourself some fruit and other snacks to keep you going the rest of the day (hint - it will all fit in your tote). Now enjoy your day off. Ahhhhh.

When it comes to finding the perfect summer tote to carry you through the season (or rather, carry all your stuff), the search really shouldn't be as hard as it often is. All a girl really needs is lots of room, a couple handy pockets, a stylish design, and a reasonable price tag without it looking like you got it for free from the airport magazine stand. If you've already embarked on your search and have found nothing but a bunch of cheap-o looking canvas eco-totes so far, don't be discouraged! To save you some time (and a whole lot of moolah), I've scrounged around for a selection of 10 super-cute totes -- from beachy straw bags to trendy studded leatherette ones -- all for $75 or less! Some even boast designer labels, for you recessionistas who still have high-fashion taste! Take a look at the slideshow for the selection!
