5 Natural Bags to Have in Your Closet This Summer

July 2, 2019 Fashion, Lifestyle, Spring & Summer Fashion, Trending Now

Happy Tuesday friends! Today I want to talk about some fun bags that you should have in your closet this summer! Natural materials like rattan and straw are super popular right now and are all over when it comes to handbags.

After doing some research, did you know that rattan is a material and wicker is a style of weave? I think they are used interchangeably and often confused. Wicker furniture or bags may use rattan for the material. Rattan is a strong fibrous plant that is similar to bamboo. It is very lightweight and flexible too. I always thought wicker was a material, but also used weaved, so this makes way more sense now.

 

All of these bags can go from running errands to the beach to date night. It all depends on how you style them! Another plus, they’re all under $40!!

  • Weaved Straw Tote Bag – Perfect with a cute sun dress or with a fun swimmy! Add a fun tassel for a pop of color.
  • Bamboo Arc Bag – So versatile and comes in other colors. Best for a casual outfit, but still perfect for any occasion.
  • Wicker Straw Crossbody – I wore this all over Europe while we were there – from the beach to a winery wedding!
  • Cotton Weave Bag – Perfect for the Farmers’ Market, but can be thrown on with a summer dress too!
  • Bamboo Arc Bag – My favorite for date nights or outings with the girls, but also perfect for the beach! Sand doesn’t get stuck inside! 😉 This is also the perfect dupe for the Cult Gaia bag that retails at $148.

I love a natural material in an accessory and even if it is a synthetic material that looks natural, I’m still all for it! I love pops of color with natural accessories. For example, the below jade green dress that I shared on my Instagram last week is a fun green and I paired it with natural accessories like my bamboo arc bag, espadrille wedges, and wicker tassel earrings. Although the bag is natural, it still makes a statement with the outfit and I get a lot of compliments with this bag!

I’ve always wanted a fireplace with a mantel & we’ve never had one in our own place that we can decorate & hang stockings on around Christmas. I loved this idea that I was seeing all over tiktok of doing a built-in electric fireplace so Conor did his research & this is where we’re at so far! 

Next step is picking out the material for the wall. We’ll leave that up for guesses right now. What do you think we’ll be using?! Leave your guesses in the comments below ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I shared this 2 piece loungewear set on stories today & it’s so comfy! Comes in tons of colors too! Linking the outfit & fireplace insert on LIKEtoKNOW.it ✨

Out driving today & this wall spoke to me! No wonder what life throws at us, even if it’s as horrible as can be, we can overcome it. It’s also a reminder that when things are good, it may not always be that way & to enjoy every moment of it while it lasts! ❤️❤️ “This too shall pass”
