Summer Style - Straw Totes

The June issue of Lucky magazine arrived in my mailbox this week, and after a quick perusal I became a little obsessed with one story. The accessories report this month features straw tote bags. This isn't a new trend by any means; every summer, straw tote bags start to flood the purse section of most clothing stores. And I've never been tempted. Barely even interested, in fact. But for some reason...I really want one this year.

Here are a few that I think would be versatile, transitioning from work to weekend. I like the idea of adding a new texture to my outfits. Though I prefer a natural shade of straw, I really like glitzy details like brightly colored straps or stripes.
