Something on your mind? Chat about it here.

Need a fun summer tote to take to the beach or market? 

Consider a roomy straw traveler bag like this one. It has space for everything you need for a day in the sun. This lined, packable bag is vacation-ready and even has specially designed straps to hold a wide brimmed hat. Choose from two striped versions or solid natural. 

Hat Attack’s Original Straw Traveler Bag is $198 at Nordstrom. 

Here are a couple of lower-priced options: This Banana Republic tote is on sale for $55 (in one of the available colors), and this Gap tote is 40% off the full price of $64.95 at checkout.

P.S. Happy Mother’s Day!
