A great bag is a necessity. As women, we tend to carry our whole lives in our bag. My idea of a great bag is something that holds everything that I keep with me but also looks stylish. I’ve carried many different tote bags over the years but this Cuyana Structured Leather Tote is my favorite. I have several Cuyana bags and the quality is amazing on all of them. This tote is made of a luscious pebbled leather so it can stand up to the wear and tear that I put my bags through daily. It’s also large enough to carry all of my things. But my favorite thing about this bag is the color combination. The rich caramel outside with a hint of blush on the inside is so beautiful.

Totes are my preferred style of bag for a few reasons. I want to be able to throw my bag over my shoulder, rather than carry a heavy satchel. I also like the practicality of them. But I do admit that totes aren’t always the easiest to stay organized. I like the idea of having an organizer insert like this one. I won’t be surprised if I order it soon. *Spoiler alert… I have it now and it is game-changing!*

Between work and the blog I feel like I carry more things than ever! My computer is usually with me and always in this leather computer sleeve. Another piece from my (very extensive) Cuyana collection. I also try to carry my screen protecting glasses with me all the time. Staring at a screen all day really takes a toll on my eyes, so I’ve found that these glasses help. I have one pair that I keep at home and another pair that stay in my bag.

A few of the other items that you can usually find hiding at the bottom of my bag include a notebook, pen and one or two pairs of sunglasses. I also always have chapstick and one of my favorite shades of Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment. And since I’m trying to be better about drinking more water during the day, a cute water bottle in my bag seemed like a good way to do that.

I haven’t been using a wallet for a while now. Instead I use my crossbody bag. I like being able to grab my crossbody when I need to run into somewhere quickly. There’s a bag within my bag! This is also a great way to go from work to play. My tote holds everything necessary for the day and my crossbody is ideal for the evenings when I need less.

The Cuyana Structured Leather Tote has been a great investment, overall. I have bags that I have spent several times as much on, and the quality of this bag is even better. It’s easily become my most used bag from work to travel and everything in between. xo Bryn
