Summer Bags Under $100

Something when people refer to Sparkles and Shoes as a fashion blog I cringe. Yes, I like fashion and yes, I often write about fashion and style, from yesterday's aviators to things that inspire me to women I find fashionable, but you will not see daily outfit posts here. However, sometimes my real life friends, sorry bloggy BFFs, ask me for fashion advice and I love to come to their rescue. One of the most recent requests I thought would become a great blog post:

"Hi love. I need a fun summer bag, any suggestions of where to look?

Ideally the cheaper the better but less than $100.

And I like shoulder bags. No bigger than a Longchamp.

And I generally like more structured bags"

Well, okay then. When I put together collages usually they have a theme but they are not usually not this specific. I have to say, these were some pretty strict criteria but I gave it my best shot. These are the nine bag I found that fit all of the criteria and that I also think Miss Samantha would like:

One // Banana Republic Riley Tote in Hot Pink $50

Two // Sole Society Lisette Medium shoulder Bag with Chain in Poppy $49.99

Three // Across 14th Street Shoulder Bag in Orange $33.60

Four // TopShop Faux Leather Tote in Green $78

Five // Big Buddha JGoldie Shoulder Bag in Turquoise $89.95

Six // Kenneth Cole Reaction Twice The Beauty Tote in Blueberry $79

Seven // Banana Republic Riley Tote in Navy Stripe $59.50

Eight // Danielle Nicole Peyton Zipper Shoulder Bag $39.95

Nine // Key-Per E/W Tote in Black and Bone $98


Then two days later Sam through a wrench into the search, "Remember when you said you were gonna write that blog post about summer bags for me? Well I specifically want a nude bag with neon accents. Think you can find one? A cute one?" Jeez Sam, you are killing me girl! I might have to devote another post to that one!

Do you already have the perfect summer bag? Do you like any of my picks?
