What’s your summer bag horoscope? Let the stars decide your next purchase
by Souzan MichaelNow that summer has officially arrived (Happy belated summer solstice, btw!) and we’ve moved all of our winter wear to the (very, very) back of our closets, it’s time to start thinking about our favourite part of any outfit—the accessories. When it comes to purses, it’s hard to not stick to Old Faithful once you find one that works (the right size, not too heavy, works with most of your outfits) but thankfully the universe has got the difficult task of finding a new bag covered.
Are you carrying a classic leather tote when you should be carrying a suede, Coachella-ready number? Browse through the gallery below to learn your summer purse horoscope and shop according to the stars—and uh, our suggestions (while you await our monthly column, of course).
