Instead of carrying around that oversize black tote you've lugged around all season, lighten up your look with the fresh addition of a straw basket bag. We have been constantly seeing this trend pop up all over the street style scene and retailers alike, as it lends a joyous tone to your summer wardrobe.

Tip #5: Buy Every Instagrammable Swimsuit You Can Find

This summer, use your swimsuits as total Instagram bait as you soak up as much sun as possible.
