Weekend Reads and Summer Bags | 6-14

Welcome to another edition of weekend reads!  What are you weekend plans?!  We are looking forward to a mostly low-key weekend, but it’s pride this weekend in Portland, so we’ll probably take part in some of the festivities.  In addition to tons of good reads, I also wanted to share some of my favorite summer bags, all of them are under $100.

Judging by my Instagram, you can probably tell I’m addicted to the straw/wicker/rattan bag trend right now.  Even my dad said “you really like that straw bag.” LOL.

31 Bits has long been one of my favorites for buying these types of bags.  And I really appreciate what the company is all about.  It’s a female-owned business that gives job opportunities to female artisans, who make these bags.

I just bought the above bag for $84.  I also think it’s a dead ringer for the Loeffler Randall Louise bag, which runs around $300.Summer Bags, Straw Bags, Loeffler Randall dupe, Loffler Randall lookalike

This is the habit Harvard researchers say is the key to happiness and most of us aren’t doing it.

Seriously looking forward to this HM x Mega Designer collection.

Walmart has been coming for Target!  First, their style section has gotten so much better, and now I love this list of affordable home buys.

I always want to purchase more from sustainable fashion companies, but sometimes it can be hard to find and incredibly expensive.  A great round-up of sustainable swimwear.  Particularly love Summersalt’s styles.

Huge fan of the culotte trend.  Here’s how to wear them this summer.   My favorite Madewell ones now come in blue and white stripe.
