SAY GOODBYE TO BORING BACKPACKS

Not to hate on backpacks, but going into my junior year of college, I have learned a few things… One, I never have enough things to fill my backpack. Two, backpacks sometimes ruin my whole outfit. Now, I won’t sit here and say a backpack is not useful if you have a lot of books, but personally, a bag that fits my laptop and a few other things is perfect for me. Here are a few tote bags if you are looking to downsize: 

Station Tote Bag- Coach ($179)

This is my personal favorite bag because it is very conventional. It is big enough to fit a MacBook Air laptop and plenty of other books, pencil cases and an emergency bag. This bag has a big zipper on the top, ensuring none of your items will fall out, a small zipper pocket on the front to keep small items, mid-length straps so the bag lies perfectly by your hip and it comes in 13 different colors and styles. 

Cora Canvas Tote- Free People ($78) 

If you are looking for a more casual bag, this is the one for you. It is very spacious and can be used for more than just around campus. It is the perfect gym bag or take-everywhere bag. Best of all, it is the prettiest bubblegum pink color. 

Blue Damask Tote Bag- LoveShackFancy ($59.50)  

Looking for a statement piece? This blue and white floral tote is the perfect bag to add to your collection. It is very spacious and has long straps to fit perfectly. If the bag isn’t already cute enough, you can also personalize it with your initials. Blue isn’t your color? Don’t worry, they have it in pink too! This bag is big enough to fit your laptop, books and even a change of clothes. 

Le Pilage Original L Tote Bag- Longchamp ($180) 

This tote is the cutest basic. It fits a 3-inch laptop; it has a zip closure, a top button to ensure nothing spills out and 2 flat pockets inside. It comes in 11 colors, all with brown straps and flap. Some of the colors include: strawberry, pink tea, pistachio, pebble, etc. You are bound to find a unique color you love.
