Orange, who?

Orange you glad to have a bright, bold foldover clutch rather than an over-sized, dingy bag to carry around tonight?

We sure are. You see, there’s a necessary art we think every fashionista should learn when it comes to picking the right bag to wear with an outfit. Some are work appropriate, while others are meant for those nights out on the town … and that’s it.

Luckily, this orange leather clutch takes all the thinking out of the matter – take it to work or happy hour. Either way, it will look great and make you happy every time you reach into it to grab your lipstick or phone.

A big bag is cumbersome and makes you look too serious and a cross-body bag is too casual. The perfect solution? A little clutch.

And we love this little leather one from Asos so much that we had to single it out. It has a simple shape with a flap closure and comes in a bright, turquoise color that’s sure to get everyone’s attention.

There’s no doubt you’ll love it too and feel like it’s the perfect complement to your LBD or floral number.

Who feels like lugging around some oversized satchel in the steamy weather anyway? When the sun is shining, keep your bag as teeny as your bikini!

One of our top picks here at the Hive is the Cleobella Mini Cantina bag. This cross body mini bag is handmade from distressed leather and features perforated, whipstitched edges.

The patina color compliments the antiqued brass hardware giving it a distinctive vintage look. It also features a magnetic snap closure at the front and a generously long adjustable shoulder strap.

Wear it with your fave denim cut-offs or all those maxi dresses you’ve stocked your closet with. This little bag is truly the perfect pouch to carry your summer essentials to concerts, clubs and cocktails on the sand!

You’ve found the perfect bikini (or two), the cutest sandals, some killer shades and … what a pity to stuff them into a plain, boring tote or … dare we say it?? A crinkly, bummy plastic shopping bag.

Sure, a beach bag is just for you to hold your stuff in, but that doesn’t mean you can’t express yourself through it! We’re thinking something roomy that you can stash everything in, but crushable or pliable so you can lay on it, stuff it in between the other bags or toss it onto the beach towel with no worries. Something eye-catching – bright colors, cool prints – also makes for a stylish beach tote.

And with a beach tote, you don’t have to spend a lot to get a lot! Check out these fashionable faves for $25 or less!

Simple whipstitch detailing gives the bag a John Wayne Western feel and it’s all the extra detaling it needs. Also, the adjustable strap with the buckle is cool and subtle addition that’s convenient too! It’s roomy enough to accomodate your daily dependables, but not so big that you end up bringing along everything in your apartment. Plus, we love the color of the rich and truly chocolate-y leather.

No huge label, no tassles, no useless gold hardware just a well made, basic, brown leather bag that you will wear well and often. This bag can go anywhere you go and with almost anything you could wear.
