Want to exude boho chic? Emulate safari inspired styles? Go neutral or vamp up the color? Leave a small(er) green(er) carbon footprint? Swap out last season's leather "it" bag for one of these. Prices range from $14.50-$535.00.

The straw bag may be the most versatile accessory this season. Take a woven straw bag from the office, to the beach, or out on the town. It's not your mother's straw bag--though my mom asked me for one for mother's day--these hip versions run the gamut from clutch to hobo to tote.
Mena Suvari wears an Alice + Olivia jumpsuit and oversized straw Valentino purse at SocialVibe.com's Green Launch Party at Les Deux in late March, 2008; Sienna Miller strolls along the beach in Ibiza, Spain in September 2007.
My Pick: Michael Kors' Santorini Shopper, above, and this Antik Batik Kylie tote; my mom likes Juicy Couture's version shown above.

I really dig Mena's bag (and outfit!).
FYI... Michael Kors Santorini is 30% at Macy's, L&T and Bloomies. They have the large tote, a smaller tote, the clutch and a small flap bag.
:)
I have been seeing alot of straw out there...i'm wondering if its more for the beach though...how would u wear it?
I love straw bags, esp. if they're super small or rather large -- not so much in between for some reason!
Straw is in every spring and summer which means it won't go out of style. The good things is you can't get a fab straw bag for cheap at target or go the designer route. I have a oversized straw clutch that I love 2 wear for the day or night!
