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!

Kate Spade Weaved Wicker Purse in Hot Pink
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’s Roomy Wicker Bag in Sunshine
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.

It’s the season for picnics, trips to the country, and daily soakings at the beach. With the change in temperature comes the change in wardrobe requirements so while we’re at it, here are the latest woven native clutches you should buy this spring.
Why woven and why native? Well, because woven native bags are hot this season! Just look at Chanel’s 2010 Spring Line.
These pieces would look great with your spring outfits, whether you’re going to use it to a bonfire date at the beach, or to a simple dinner date along the country side.

I found this picture of Reese Witherspoon with then boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal and thought how interesting it was to see a multicolored woven bag released seasons ago. Such a piece would have been a perfect accessory this spring.

I guess this just shows how trends come and go, and then come back again. The one on Reese is a Lanvin Happy Woven Bag by the way.

I found another woven Lanvin while doing my search – the Lanvin Happy Satin Woven Purse. Here’s a look:

I’m sure these two Lanvin purses cost a fortune. In fact, the satin purse alone went for over US$2000++ when it was released.
Now if you want something similar but definitey less costly, why not go for a brand like Harveys Seatbelt Bag instead? I found these cute options:

Harveys Seatbelt Bag Paint by Numbers Roxy, on sale for US$101 (Zappos.com)

Harveys Seatbelt Bag Carriage Baguette Merlot, on sale for US$125 (Zappos.com)
