Fabulous Summer Bags At Every Price

Q. Hi Jordan,

I love your blog and your sense of style!! You always have amazing, affordable suggestions mixed in with high-end splurges. I’m currently looking for a summer bag in a light (or bright) color and was wondering if you have any suggestions. I’m looking to spend $150 or less, but am interested in what bags you might recommend for the upcoming summer?

Thanks!

Diana

A. Thanks so much, Diana!

Ah, handbags: my very favorite thing. This summer, I like bright colors (especially orange and green) with either a little masculine leather/hardware or nautical detailing, as well as a bit of drama (fringe, embroidery, or unusual shapes). I wasn’t sure whether you were looking for big, small, casual, or day-to-night, so I found lots and lots of different options for you. And most are under $70…so you can get two!
