CARLY RAFFIA LOVE

I’m a big fan of adding a pop of raffia or rattan to my outfits throughout the warmer months, whether that be a bag, shoe, or hat. We’re heading on a fun vacation later this month, and I’ll definitely be packing a couple of pieces to wear on our trip. Here are a few fun raffia accessories you’ll want to wear all summer long.

Raffia basket totes are one of my most worn summer bags since they’re super versatile. I like that this one has a leather handle, and this messenger crossbody is also super cute. You can never go wrong with a classic raffia sun hat! I like this style with a simple cream ribbon. Roll up visors are especially handy for traveling since you don’t have to worry about them getting bent or taking up extra space in your suitcase. I also like having a classic visor for walks or on pool days when I want to keep the sun out of my eyes while reading but don’t want to fidget with a wide brim hat trying to get comfortable in my pool chair. Please tell me I’m not the only one who finds themselves with this dilemma, ha!

If you wear a lot of dresses during the summer like me, a raffia belt is an easy accessory you can add to your outfits to dress up a simple sundress or add shape to a flowy maxi dress. Speaking of getting dressed up, I am seriously eyeing these bow kitten heels. They would be perfect to wear to a summer wedding or on a Friday date night. I’ve found raffia shoes are super easy to style and instantly add a summery touch to any outfit. Some other pairs I like are these simple braided slides and this pair of espadrille mules.
