Shopping Session: Summer Totes & Pineapples

{Summer Totes}
Tri-Coastal Design : (less than $30!) This tote was just added online and would be the perfect beach addition - It might just have to be my next sumer tote.
Hayden Reis: This is a timeless favorite.  I took this on our honeymoon as a carry on and it's unbelievable what will fit in here! It's also waterproof, has a ton of matching items, can be monogrammed and comes in a bunch of patterns.

Cathy's Concepts: (less than $40!) This bag comes in a variety of colors (navy, orange, hot pink) and can be monogramed with your initial or a symbol.
Tory Burch: How cute? Need I say more.
Tory Burch: A toned down, classic look, this bag would be perfect for any beach adventure.  Tory bags are always pretty sturdy too.
Lilly Pulitzer: A little wild with the patterns but you can't beat the bright colors.  The bag is a flimsier material but can hold a ton.
Kate Spade: The sunglasses and stripes are a perfect combo.  This splurge would look great by the pool.
Nordstrom: (on sale for just $12!) You really can't beat the sale price and the little quirky cuteness to this bag is perfect for a fun day out.
Target: (under $10) These patterns are amazing and you'll be able to slightly see all your items through the bag making for easy finds.
Kate Spade: This one can double as a cooler (perfect for packing those day drinkin' cocktails) or can be just a tote as well.  The gold makes a nice statement and this one has a classy look.

{Pineapple Obsession}
I am loving the pineapple trend this year and I know I'm not the only one because they seem to be everywhere! In addition to the two toes above (there's also plenty more out there) here are some of my favorite pineapple finds & wants.  The Tory Burch clutch would go perfectly with the matching sold out sandals if they restock them.

four // five // six

{Recent Favorites: Shoe Edition}
It wouldn't be a shopping session if I didn't share a few recent favorites, right?!  When doing the big "closet switch" back in early April - I realized that I really needed to update my beige wedges.  I decided to find some alternatives and am really loving this pair as well as this pair.  I'm still on the hunt for the perfect tan wedge as well. 
For a fun pair - I'd never checked out this type of Jack Roger's before but am loving this style a lot more than the more classic style.

  5. EEK! I Haven't met a tote that I don't love!! And my husband is aware of my obsession/large amount already. But you can just never have too many. They all serve different purposes/looks!

  6. I seriously just scrounged around the house today trying to find a tote real quick to pack a change of clothes in for post work plans and could not find one! Clearly I either need to a) finish unpacking or b) buy one of these cute ones! :)

  15. There are so many fun totes out there! I am loyal to my Victoria Secret one that I got as a freebie for spending over $75 one time. I use it for EVERY trip I go on!

  16. Loving the first four totes (because I too am obsessed with pineapples, and also flamingos and anchors!) and the striped Kate Spade one! I ordered a pineapple bangle and it just arrived and is too small! So sad. I've been eyeing that phone case (I don't even have a 6 yet! but I'm due for an upgrade) and my fiance's cousin has it in one of the other colors and when I saw it in person I wanted it even more!

  17. I love the flamingo tote! I use a beach tote I bought through 31. I get compliments on it all that time and they don't make it anymore. It's nice and big with a pocket. Love summer bags!

  18. I'm glad I'm not the only one that is having a thing for pineapples lately! It's just such a fun and happy print for summertime. Plus, I like to eat pineapples, so why not wear them, too? Ha!

  19. You would be the best shopping buddy. These are all so cute. I'm really loving the pineapple candle and ice trays. I also like several of those totes, but I think I'm good on those for this summer.
