I thought it would be interesting to post this article for the woven bag junkie, or to anyone who enjoys buying and wearing woven bags at least. There is always a woven handbag you can use for every occasion, no matter what that may be. You don’t need to limit wearing the woven purse to casual or work activities, you can stretch it to a night out or to a red carpet event. Here’s a list of woven bags you can take with you for each occasion:

I think Reese Witherspoon should wear dresses more often. She looks better in them than in her usual t-shirt-and-jeans outfits. For instance, this picture of her from last July 7; the actress was spotted bringing her son to a friend’s birthday party.

Isn’t this picture so refreshing to look at? The berry red dress looks very beautiful against her pale white skin and blond hair making her even more luminous; and she looks younger in it too! I also love how she played down the dress with a woven straw tote and a pair of thong sandals; it’s very well put together, and very summer perfect!

Love the look as much as I do? Get it with these:

Hurley Morgan YC Dress, on sale for US$23 (6pm.com); MARC by Marc Jacobs Eyewear, US$98 (Zappos.com); Chan Luu Agate Necklace, US$88 (Zappos.com); Bernardo Matrix Thong Sandals, US$115 (Zappos.com); Columbia Sand N Sea Straw Tote, US$70 (Zappos.com)

Even for just an early morning school run, actress Sarah Jessica Parker still keeps it fresh and stylish.

The Sex and the City star was spotted walking her son to school early last May in a casual but chic outfit that consisted of folded up jeans, a scarf around her neck, a classic black pullover, and some comfy chucks.

Her finishing touches included some uber cool sunglasses and a piece of elegant looking woven straw tote trimmed with black leather.

I have yet to ID the bag; I have a strong feeling it’s a Marc Jacobs but I could be wrong. I will keep you posted on it.

It is quite a lovely piece. Nothing show stopping really, but it looks very classy and clean; and I like classy and clean.

If you want it, try getting the same look with these more affordable pieces; because I’m sure the one on SJP will cost you more than just a couple of hundreds:
