Prada Straw and Leather Frame Bag


When I see a bag with straw, it shouts out sunshine and pina coladas. Right now the warm spring and even warmer summer is just upon the horizon and it is all I want to be thinking about. To get me in a sunshine state of mind is the Prada Straw and Leather Frame Bag. This frame shaped bag shows off a woven straw body and is accented with white leather trim. I love the frame shape of the bag along with the buckle details on the straps and logo plate on the front. Closing up there is a double zip closure. Overall the bag measures 8ВЅ”H X 13″L X 4″W. Can’t you see it paired with a perfectly cute flowered summer dress and a rockin’ pair of shades?? Yay for summer. Go on and buy yourself a little piece of summer love for $1160 via Saks.

Fendi Beaded Canvas Spy



I know, I know, I know. I have beaten the Spy bag ordeal like a dead horse. How many Spy’s can there be you might ask? Well, here is yet another. The Fendi Beaded Canvas Spy consists of mainly canvas and then is accented with intricately placed colorful beaded embroidery on the front and the back of the bag. There is something about this bag when I look at it that looks kind of fun and then one minute later looks like a mess. The top handles and wristlet are made of white woven leather and there is the infamous Spy flap closure with a hidden coin purse. On the inside there is canvas lining. The bag measures 10″H X 17″L X 6″W. I’m not trying to take credit or play-down the fact that embroidering beads is easy, but for the price of $4590 through Saks I’d rather pass.

(Sorry the picture is so small… Sak’s has the enlarged picture of the back of the bag. Honestly, who wants to view the rear end of a bag??)
