There are signs of summer all around the Handbag Heaven office: strappy sandals, bright pops of color, bare legs, and in my case, painful sun burns. It’s time to retire the boring black and brown sweaters, shed layers of clothing (wear sunscreen, kids), and let loose, because when it comes to these warm months, there are no set style standards.
“Summer is filled with breaking the rules and standing apart, ignoring your head and following your heart.”
Summer is truly the time that “anything goes”. Wearing minimal clothing is actually acceptable, mixing and matching colors is applauded, and comfort reigns king. So in the spirit of fashion-freedom, I asked my fellow editors to share their picks for summer 2012 colors, and of course, their go-to handbag. Not surprisingly, the answers were varied and unique to each summer girl.

“That is why my choice is the Chelsea Satchel!”
Molly
“My handbag pick? This Molly Patent Crossbody Bag (although the name might have swayed my vote a bit) 
”
Maggie
“My handbag pick? Hands down, the totally turquoise Reese Clutch.”
Stacie
“My handbag pick? This fringed beauty in mustard yellow. Pair it with a floral print for a bohemian feel or with some denim cutoffs for an edgier vibe.”
Sarah
“My go-to bag this summer will definitely be the Terra Woven Clutch in blue. The texture and neutral look of the bag are perfect for a light summer dress and it’s great for dressing up or down.”
Have a colorful, almost-summer weekend!
