Wicked Wicker: Kate Spade Purses in Bright Colors

When we say wicked, we totally mean ‘cool’ wicked and not ‘bad’ wicked.

We know not everyone loves wicker, but we can’t imagine anyone not finding these Kate Spade bags in bright colors adorable. They’re the perfect bag to carry this season. They totally scream summer!

These Kate Spades are pretty tasteful for wicker. The best part about these bags? They’re currently on sale at Zappos for just $275.

If you need a bag with more room inside, we suggest you purchase one (or both) of these other Kate Spade wicker purses:

Kate Spade Wicker Box Purse in Hot Pink

We like the Kate Spade Eastward Avenue Quinn in Hot Pink best. We’re loving not just the bag’s color but also its interior. Take a peek inside:

It doesn’t hurt that the Quinn is cheaper than the Jessa purses. The Kate Spade Eastward Avenue Quinn is on sale at $260.

Grab and Go: Gap Small Weave Purse

Today, we bring you a purse that is small and light, but is big enough to carry essential items like your car keys, mobile phone, and a small wallet– the Straw Mini Bag from Gap.

Gap Straw Mini Bag

The bag is available online for $39.95. Given the price, we don’t expect this purse to last a lifetime but we think it’s a great purse to have for the summer. The purse will look great with summer dresses and sandals, and it’s the kind of bag you can just grab and go for busy, activity-filled days.

The bag is made of Olefin with a faux leather strap and antiquated metal hardware. It has snap closures and a zipped interior compartment.

The bag is also available in black:

Cole Haan Woven Purse and Reduced Shipping Rate at 6PM

If you’ve always wanted to purchase woven bags from 6pm.com,  now is the perfect time to do so! The website is offering, for a limited period of time, a reduced standard shipping rate of $3.95. That’s $3 cheaper than the store’s normal (and already very affordable) shipping rate of $6.95.

We were  browsing the store’s woven purse offerings and found this nice bag from Cole Haan:

Cole Haan Heritage Logan Weave Tote

If you need an everyday bag, the Cole Haan woven tote is the perfect bag to get. There’s really something very classy about woven leather purses, as you can see in this picture of the tote being carried:

The bag is really beautiful but it’s also very practical with its top zip closure, and the space it provides.
