MOMMA LOVES… vacation bags

2 of my favorite bags to take with on vacation are these Marni and Chanel bags – they’re light weight, I can fit the essentials (sunblock, sunglasses and cover up) and they’re super cute but not so serious.

When I talk about vacation bags, yes I’m talking about beach bags but also the smaller versions of that work perfectly with all your resort looks. They don’t necessarily have to be large totes, they can be smaller as long as they fit your sunblock, sunglasses and a good book. Great vacation bags are lightweight and a bit more whimsical than your typical city bags. These bags tend to be canvas, crochet, even rubber – often water resistant and always fabulous. They’re the perfect addition to your maxi dress, your romper or your swim cover up. These vacation bags inspire you to relax, put your feet up and enjoy the summer time. Check out some of my favorite resort accessories to tote your stuff around all while looking fabulous!

MOMMA WANTS… big slouchy bags

A great big slouchy bag like this Chanel one can not only fit all the ridiculous things we feel the need to have with us but it looks effortlessly chic as well!

As a mom and as a fashion stylist I am obsessed with big slouchy bags. Why? Because I can fit all my stuff in them, they’re fabulous and because of the lack of structure give a perfect relaxed look. Great slouchy bags have a boho feel but with a more contemporary edge. They’re the perfect alternative to a diaper bag – you can pack them full of diapers, bottles, change of clothes, toys and yes, there is room for your stuff too! These slouchy bags give that ideal throw on and go feel – great with jeans or a little dress – they’re the perfect bag for blending fashion and function. Whether big, bigger or biggest – every woman needs on in her accessory arsenal. Check out my favorite big slouchy bags and take everything with you!
