What's In My (Tote) Bag

I LOVE A TOTE BAG!!! LOVE!!! I have a few FAVES at the moment and I thought it would be fun to share them, share WHY they're my favorites and share what I've been toting around ;) 

I kept seeing ads for this Alex Mill tote bag before Christmas and fell in LOVE with the painted monograms. I decided to treat myself and then (gasp) realized that the monogram was an extra (almost) $100 and would take something crazy like 8 weeks so I nixed the monogram and excitedly waited for the tote. It came in and it was love at first sight!



I ADORE the shape and structure...


... and love that the long handles can hide inside if I just want to use the shorter ones.


You can snap in the sides to give a totally different shape...



I took these pics back in April when I was in school mode and here's everything I had in the tote...


There are two inner pockets... one is a big larger (the one with sunglasses) and the other is a zipper pocket which was holding my purse mints ;) hahahaha

 

I had a notebook and my laptop (in this case)


I'm obviously a big fan of these pouches...


I like them because I can toss them in different bags and I always have what I need.

The large pouch was holding all of this....


... MY GOSH! hahahaha 




... adn then the small pouch...


... had an unnecessary amount of lip glosses, purse salt, excedrin and some hair ties.  This tiny pouch is the one I throw in every bag no matter what.


Another teeny pouch....


... but this one was jut for my grandpa purse candies ;) 




and YES I love a bag charm... so I have this pizza one and this pretzel because life is too short to not have bag charms ;) 


And for comparison... here's the Alex Mill tote compared to the large LL Bean boat and tote which will hold ALL THE THINGS! I used it for toting grading back and forth.


And the medium with long handles (left) and large (right) boat and tote for comparison!



Let me know if you have any tote-related questions and HAPPY Tuesday, friends!
