Summer is upon us! This means it is time to find the perfect beach tote which will work not only at the beach, but will look fabulous and “hot-off-the-runway” poolside too!
Although bright colors are hot right now, there is a slight trend towards calmer hues and neutral tones. Perhaps Fashionistas on the street are becoming tired of all the bright eye candy?
For the summer of 2013, look for beach totes with stripes and neutral colors. Designers are showing shades of tan, black and white spruced up with navy, blue, red, yellow and orange touches. Of course, colors are hot this season, so bright pink, cobalt and green beach bags work too!
I found a few fabulous beach totes around the web which will cart everything a fashion-savvy girl needs to the beach, the pool or for a weekend getaway. All of these fabulous tote bags are assembled into the shopping widget below. Hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 


Summer prints

Summer 2013 is all about bright colors, prints and having fun with fashion from the runway by turning it into your own personal style on the street. I spotted this dress at ASOS and thought is would be fun to pair it with a pair of neon blue and silver sandals I bought last summer.

Are you wearing prints this season? What are your favorite patterns?
