It’s becoming increasingly clear that I’m not the only person obsessed over simple, classic cognac leather totes. They’re so clean, minimalist, effortless chic, yet functional. Combine that with my love of sumptuous cognac leather and you have a winner I can’t get enough of. Though I’ve posted about my experience with the Madewell Transport Tote in English Saddle and Cuyana Leather Tote in Caramel, here are some more cognac leather totes out there that are super cute & tickle my fancy.

Baggu Oversize Tote in Caramel

Clare Vivier Cognac Messenger Bag / Tote

Ben Minkoff Heath Tote – Cognac

WILL Leather Goods Douglas Tote – Natural

Urban Outfitters Reversible Vegan Leather Oversized Tote Bag

Just received the Everlane Weekender in Olive Stripe!

I’ve been eyeing this bag for a while as I find myself needing a bag in between a tote and a full carry-on luggage for all those weekend, short trips, or even trips to the gym. I’m a light packer, believe it or not, so these types of “weekender” bags are especially functional for me and can go a long way. I love the contrast between the sturdy, rugged canvas and the sleek brown leather straps. This Everlane Weekender Bag is very comfortable to carry on the shoulder and feels very high quality — all for just $95! Definitely a steal for such a stylish, durable bag. Can’t wait for my next trip! Get it here for $95.

This is a trend that’s popping up everywhere & it’s a great one for me, as it’s a lazy girl’s way to stay comfortable while being a bit edgy and whimsical. No longer your old gym sweatshirt to wear around the house, these sweats and tees can look super chic in a oh-I-just-threw-this-together kind of way when you pair with dressier bottoms or accessories. The contrast is quite visually interesting. Steer clear of juvenile sayings though — I can’t imagine showing up to work with a top that said “drama queen” or “I’d cuddle you so hard.” I’d go for chic & understated without any explicit messages. Or anything in a foreign language.
