This week starts back to school here, and for some of my friends, that means their kiddies are heading into kindergarten. Cannot even handle. Luckily I can hang on to my little “big” girl being little for one more year for that milestone. As everyone hits the back-to-school frenzy (anyone else nerding out over sales on school supplies?!), take this chance to evaluate your school… err, work… supplies. The perfect bag or tote should hold all your stuff, plus tech — iPads, headphones and anything else. For me, the best ones easily fit my notepad and a few files.
Here’s a few gorgeous girls sure to give you an A+ in the style meets functionality department. I have last year’s version of the Ann Taylor and C. Wonder totes below…. both are awesome, wear well, are work (to weekend) appropriate and have garnered more compliments than way pricier picks. Quick tip: while we could easily compile a list of only black and/or tan bags (as evidenced by our direction here), most of these come in multiple colors.
1. french connection (love the tweed!) 2. aldo 3. sole society (looks so luxe!) 4. tory burch (the perfect tote!)
5. ann taylor (even better than last year’s I have/love!) 6. kate spade 7. c. wonder (obsessed! I live for mine) 8. topshop (real leather for a steal!)
