Menu for a Memorable Weekend

Yes, in a few weeks the Memorial Day weekend will be upon us. Serious fashionistas will breathe a sigh of relief and pull out every white item in their closets. Workers will welcome a 3-day weekend and plan a cookout in their backyard with hamburgers, hot dogs and ice-cold watermelon. But we should all take a moment to really appreciate the fact that we can do these carefree things thanks to those who work selflessly to protect our country. Patriotism is at an all-time high, so if you’d like to show your support, here are a few bags that will make your statement known (in a stylish way, of course).

If you’re going for a good old cookout you can carry the hot dog and hamburger buns in this red, white and blue Bonfanti tote. Stash a nice bag of chips and some sugar cookies and meet up with the cooler of chilled goodies (hot dogs, hamburgers and ice cold lemonade) and you’ve got yourself a party. Pick up this patriotic bag at Yoox for a mere $94.

The Prada Luna Rossa is an unassuming large blue tote that’s just the thing for transporting all your goodies to the park for a gourmet picnic. Menu: sparkling mineral water with lime, jumbo shrimp cocktail, chilled herbed red potatoes and Ghirardelli brownies. This pretty Prada is available at Yoox for $285.

Okay, if you’re carrying this Roberta di Camerino purse, you’re not eating outside at the park or going anywhere near sand and saltwater – not with this hot little navy leather bag. So you put on a pretty little white sundress and a pair of Jimmy Choo strappy patent sandals and you dine at your favorite restaurant. You order lobster bisque, filet mignon with fresh asparagus and cherries jubilee served tableside. This classy handbag can be ordered from Yoox for $1690.

It doesn’t matter how you celebrate, just take a moment to remember why you can. Happy Memorial Day!
