I'm not a big fan of stars and stripes, at least when it comes to handbags. That cheesy Americana look normally doesn't do it for this bagista. But, I'm really won over by the gray and white striped canvas bags offered this summer by
Antoinette Lee Designs. If it was any combination for red, white or blue it wouldn't be as fresh and appealing, but with the grey €“ still a must-have hue €“ it just works. The
Dolce shoulder bag (which converts into an oversized clutch) has already been spotted on MTV's
Lauren Conrad €“ not that I'm saying this is why you should pick up the style, but for those who care I'm passing the info along. The handbag I would select is the
Stella tote in grey and white canvas. It's deep enough for files, magazine and any laptop, making it a playful work option for those sticky summer months when leather just doesn't feel right. Plus, it has multiple strap and handle options so you can give your hands, wrists or shoulders alternating rests.
