It’s no surprise that I love this Day Market Tote — I feel like I post and talk about it allll the time, but it’s just that dang good {I mean, look at the reviews}.  I’ve gone through my fair share of totes! I need them to be versatile, stylish, but also simplistic so that they can go with many outfits.  I’m always on the go and I need to double as a work bag, personal bag, and a gym bag.

Here are the:

5 Best Work Totes

1. Everlane Day Market Tote

This day market tote is my current everyday tote and I LOVE it! There’s even an insert available for it, but I will warn you that the insert takes up a lot of space.  So, if you like to carry a lot in your bag, I don’t recommend using the insert, but if you do not carry a lot, then the insert would be a good way to organize your small items.

This tote is now even available in a soft leather, as well as a square tote too {which is just a tad smaller than the day market!}.

2. Madewell Transport Tote

This transport tote is such a classic tote with a few pockets {the outside pocket is great for your phone!}.  It’s spacious but also not so big that you lose your things in your purse, and plus the cognac color is great for all outfits!

3. Sole Society Lilyn Tote

You can’t get a much than this affordable $64 tote! It comes in so many colors and is vegan with one pocket on the inside to help with carrying small items or your phone.  The color combos are fabulous, so your collection will definitely grow.

4. Street Level Reversible Tote

I’ve had this tote for quite a few years and love using this to travel! It’s only $50 and even reversible — keep in mind that there are no pockets on the inside, but the little zippered wristlet comes in handy, especially when traveling.  You can fit your computer, all your traveling bags, and then squeeze in your ID + credit cards in the wristlet!

5. Cuyana Structured Leather Tote

I highly recommend their structured tote and insert BUT it’s totally personal preference.  I like structured leather better than soft leather, but people love their classic {soft} tote, as well. You can even add a monogram!

    I love your suggestions for totes and the one you carry daily is probably my favorite! My husband, however, hates that I tend to carry larger bags so I’ve been trying to downscale a bit. That’s usually when he hands me his “wallet” in the store and asks me if I can put it into my purse 😛 I am with you on preferring something with more structure. Though I love the soft feel of the unstructured leathers, everything tends to settle in the bottom and looks like you’re carrying a football. That’s a great sweatshirt and that headband is so cute on you!

10/27/18 Mr. & Mrs. White

There’s not a day that goes by when I don’t feel so blessed to be Jordan’s wife. He is my everything. These photos and video are the sweetest reminder of our love for one another. So, grab a cup of coffee, pull up a seat, and try not to bawl your eyes out (because I know we did). Every time we look through our photos and watch our video, we cry the happiest tears.

The Proposal

It’s crazy what can happen in a year. I met the love of my life and the rest is history. I was having a hard time ending this post, because frankly, I think I could talk about that evening forever. Then I realized that this post doesn’t have an ending, but instead, a beginning. Thank you so much for all of the love, excitement, and gratitude.

Dark Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

One of my favorite things to do in the fall is bake my dark chocolate chip pumpkin bread! I’ve made it *so* many times for me, J, and friends & family. It’s moist, decadent, and super easy to make! It also makes for a great DIY housewarming gift.
