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.
