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?!
