Obsessed? Yes, I love these bags.  They're functional and cute, fitting into any ensemble and holding everything you could possibly need for a busy day of class or window shopping.

Right now I go everywhere with this one from H&M:

"Nice bag. Great minds think alike," was what a hipster guy on campus said of this bag as he showed off his
own canvas drawstring backpack version, complete with matching leather trimmings.

While all-leather is classic, there are some great colors and contrast options out there.

If you're feeling like going all out with the school girl look, pair with a skirt like this one from River Island.  Don't forget the Oxfords.

These days everyone’s schedules are packed from morning to night. But how are you suppose to carry around all your stuff for your daily activities? Trying to fit everything into one bag just doesn't work. Instead, I find myself carrying multiple bags that mismatch and aren't indicative of my fashionista style. After doing some research, I came across Vogue's solution. Below are four bags that will allow you to carry all your daily stuff as well as look put together and fashionable in the process. Thus tackling both problems.

This Alloy fashion necklace puts the royal in royal blue. It's gorgeous form recalls gems from an earlier time period. It is striking and eye catching yet far from gaudy.  This piece can breath life into the simplest attire.

As we look forward to the temperatures growing warmer, we can't help but imagine all the cute, trendy and fabulous outfits we are going to get to wear, when we unload the heavy winter coats from our bodies! One of my favorite springtime activities is when the restaurants finally re-open their patios for dining outside. Not only can you eat and chat with friends under the sun but you can people watch, and gawk at all the new fashion that passes by. Who knows maybe someone is even looking at you! This is why you need to be prepared. 

This spring pair a longer patterned skirt (floral is big for 2011) with a simple top. In this case we have a white tank, with a little bit of lace detail around the neckline. Spring isn't summer, so be sure to pair the top with a flowing scarf in an accent color and a light sweater if you tend to get chilly.

Wedges and cross body bags are big hits this spring and can really complete the outfit. 

So go have fun and eat outside, just be sure not to spill on your hot new look!
