Tote Bags!

If you're anything like me you have a closet full of totes, but always searching for another...an even better one! I found a collection by Vera Bradley that I'm trying out for traveling. It's their new Dockside Canvas Collection. So far I like it! I bought the large tote so I wouldn't have to carry multiple bags, because I always seem to do that. I carry my purse, a carry-on, and extra stuff on my arms such as a sweater or light jacket. So, this is to fit it all! {I think!}
I think I just might start using it for work too because my work bag is falling apart!

 Pic at home...both sides have a pocket! Very useful!

Floral print lining. Lots of room. And a newly added requirement for me was a zipper closure on top. Poor visual in this pic. I've owned too many totes with no zipper and that's the one thing that brings their score down from a "10" to a "6" or "Perfect" to "Ehh." Am I being to harsh of a tote grader?!

I don't actually have one of these bags, but I've heard great things: 
Vineyard Vines 
Their bag is designed for lots of colleges and I think they can be contacted to design a bag for sororities! {My sorority had one made my Senior year!} Great idea for Little Sis gifts! 
{and it has a zipper closure!}

I saw this on the website and made me smile for their sponsorship of our state's most famous 3 minute sport!

I guess I'm in coastal mode and mindset being as that I'm at the beach this week! 
What's your favorite totes?!

  3. I have an issue with totes too. I dont know why I feel I need to have so many but I just do. Slight obsession here. I have never seen that Vera before. Very pretty!

  4. I just got a ThirtyOne tote. I <3 it!!! They're able to be personalized. I have a black one with my name in cream and a big flower pinned on it. Very chic. They have all different prints and options.

  5. I love totes, but the whole bigger tote doesn't work for me because then I just find more crap to cram into it! Love the blog!

    By the way, I'm giving away a heel condom on my blog. Don't let the name fool you, it's an awesome accessory that will spice up and transform any heel! Go to http://www.l0velindsey.com to enter!

  6. Ohhh I love that VB Dockside tote bag!! Although I don't necessarily NEED another bag, I'm sure I could find a use for it :) I have the VV tote and I love it! It has my sorority print on it and I used it a lot for classes. Love the zipper and all the pockets it has!
