tote guide: for the starving student


So the term "starving student" has floated around me for more than half a decade now. Spending the large majority of my post secondary education living on my own, I feel as though I have very seriously and quickly learned the value of a dollar. All that being said I have equally as quickly learned the importance of a good carry-all tote. 

Now we all know the enjoyment of carrying around a classy Alexander Wang, a fun-loving Kate Spade or a popular Marc Jacobs but realistically when considering the price tag, do you really want to run the risk of spilling in that silk lining or snapping a pricey leather strap under the weight of your textbooks, Macbook, water bottle, notebooks and whatever else your day of academics calls for?

This weeks post is for all of you readers that are trapped in the world of student loans, credit card debt, part time income and all those other fashion debilitating situations but still want that enjoyment of having something slung over your shoulder day in and day out carrying all your needs, that's on trend and fashion forward. 


Personally, my Black Michael Kors Tote which I got on sale at the North Outlet Mall in Vegas for a whopping $80.00, took me through a good portion of my undergrad. Now beaten to a pulp and looking less than black, it has done its job and did so stylishly (while it lasted).  

I hope you find your perfect carry-all for all your goodies because let's be honest, the nicest carry-all's aren't always the most practical carry-all's when it comes to carrying-it-ALL.  

For the sake of shoppers convenience (as per a Minot blonde beauty's suggestion) I'll be featuring the links and prices to each piece so you can pop them in your shopping cart and have them being shipped to you before you even make it through the remainder of this post. (For all you less patient folk like myself don't forget "Express Shipping")
