Work Totes Worth the Splurge
Carrying a laptop to work everyday can be a total pain and on top of that, most work bags aren't very glamorous. (I even considered a backpack!) So, when a friend asked for help finding a good "go-to" bag that would work both for the office and beyond, I started thinking about what makes a good carry-all. In my mind, the perfect "work bag" is one that looks and feels like a handbag, but can also fit a laptop and other day-to-day essentials. Here are my current picks for stylish work bags that are worth a bit of a splurge:
1. Black Radley London Earlsfield Work Tote ($398)
2. Red Lodis Audrey Zip Top Tote Bag ($255)
3. Tory Burch Mae Leather & Suede Tote Bag ($695)
4. Maxmara Tan Tote ($845)
5. Marc by Marc Jacobs Lady Army Green Leather Tote Bag ($455)
6. Kate SpadeBlack Vanston Maryclare Tote ($525)

funny you should mention this...i use a totally boring black lap top case and i didn't even realize it hung down towards my knees until my clients did...asking if i did it on purpose...similar to when guys used to sag their pants or when people wore backpacks down low...it was not on purpose for the record but now i think its funny so ive left it that way...maybe someday ill cheat on clothes and invest in a nice case for my technology
re blow dryers....i do think having a nice blow dryer does make a big difference in your hair because you have many more controls to affect the end result and i had a super old one like i mentioned that didn't make my hair nearly as nice ...do you have to spend outside of your budget? are you screwed if you can't afford the one I mentioned? No....that's why I mentioned good controls to look for if you want to upgrade, but maybe don't want to buy the exact one or would like to shop around for a less expensive one. Otherwise, that's one I have tried myself, liked, and had a good result.
