What’s In My Tote Bag

What’s In My Tote Bag

This may sound like the most boring aspect of blogging, but I secretly love being able to look into data. Finding out what you’re interested in and why is a huge part of how I operate my blog. After all, it wouldn’t mean anything without my loyal readers. Anyways, I was blown away to find out that my most popular item of 2019 was actually my tote bag. Even though I didn’t get my Gucci Ophelia Bag until June for my birthday, it was my most clicked item of the year. When it seems like the whole world has invested in a Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag, I like how this bag seems like a rare find. So, to give the people what they want, I thought I would explain a little bit about the bag and let know you what’s in my tote bag!

About The Bag

Before this bag, my daily pick was this oversized Longchamp Le Pliage Tote Bag. This puppy has traveled the world with me and it was beginning to look like it. Since moving to New York, where everyone has at least one Louis Vuitton or Goyard tote to their name, David wanted to treat me with something special for my birthday. At first, I was leaning towards the Goyard because of the different color options it came in. Then one day, while just window shopping the in Gucci store, I spotted their Ophelia tote. For about half the price of the Goyard, I got the same amount of space, great quality, and a zip closure for security. I have used it daily ever since and it hardly looks worn at all! If you are wanting to invest in a designer work bag, this would be my recommendation.

My Camera

Since living in New York, I have developed a habit of always keeping my (charged) Sony a6000 camera with me at all times. Let’s face it, the quality difference between an iPhone and DSLR is indisputable. Nothing is more frustrating than missing out on the perfect picture because of equipment. When I’m driving around in my neighborhood, I may pull over to take a picture of the quaint bungalows, especially if the lighting is just right.

My Planner

Even in a super tech world, I still prefer my hardcopy planner. In my Erin Condren Life Planner, I am able to keep track of blog content, work for school, and whatever is going on in my personal life. I’ve had several brands of planners throughout the years. While I can make anything work, I love that the Life Planner is customizable, easy to use, and not too big.

My Laptop Sleeve

Even if I leave my laptop at home for the day, which is rare, I always keep my laptop sleeve from Barrington Gifts in my tote bag. It fits perfectly inside my tote bag and adds an extra layer of protection for my wallet and pens. Barrington Gifts has a huge selection of items that are completely customizable. Even the monogram is included!

I’ve never been one to write so much about one product in my rotation. But, if I see a huge interest, I want to meet your needs. When it comes to shopping, if there is anything you want to ask, please let me know! I like to think of myself as your own personal shopping. Don’t be afraid to reach out!

Love from Florida,
Katie
