Carrying Heat: Summer 2013 Bag Trends


No, not THAT kind of heat! Heat as in…nice, good, fire, or so freaking hot (in a good way!) Speaking of “heat” just because it’s summer, that doesn’t mean it’s time to let go of the big bags, purses, and carryalls. It’s just time to upgrade and update your summer bag collection. Bags are just one of my many vices. Right up there next to shoes and jewelry, it’s pretty bad. So which bags are the most coveted in my eyes? This should come as no surprise when you find out that the following pieces of arm and shoulder candy are perfect for the sizzling summer heat!
