Back to School bags/ Dagne Dover

Hello Everyone! It's the start of a new school year and I know one thing that always gets me excited is some form of back to school shopping. I am FINALLY entering my senior year of my undergraduate career and I feel like i'm in this odd position where I'm still preparing for a college lifestyle but with internships, traveling and work throughout school I need to be able to switch things up real quick. This post will focus on some of my favorite #girlbossbags that are super stylish but also has compartments for any and everything to keep your life organized and efficient because that's what i'm all about.

                                                        DAGNE DOVER

                                             

 I've had my eyes on the Dagne Dover Tote for over a month now and finally got my hands on one! I am absolutely in love with this 13-inch tote bag, even though they can be more on the pricey side (over $200). Dagne Dover does have periodical sales that go up to 45% off so sign up and watch out for those heads up emails! This bag is extremely functional (and perfect) for so many reasons:

 - 3 Pen /lipstick holders
-Water bottle holder (detachable and insulated to keep condensation off everything else)
-Keystrap (my absolute favorite part! No more searching in my bag for the keys to my apartment) -13"/15" padded laptop sleeve
- Tablet/notebook sleeve
-Wallet pocket
-Phone & notebook pocket

             

 It is made from coated canvas which is an extremely durable, lightweight and weatherproof material. This is a major benefit since leather can potentially get damaged in the rain. Markings and scratching will also be of less concern with this material since the whole thing can be revived with just one wipe, not just the outside but the entire bag is coated canvas just in case you were worried about spills. There are so many different colors to chose from as well, the one I ordered is the Bleecker blush. It's super neutral, somewhat a grey/lilac mix and the hardware is brushed gold. Perfect for any occasion, I chose this color so that I could dress this bag up or down depending on my work load for the day so if you're like me in that sense then I would definitely recommend it. Check out their website here for more styles!                                                                                                                                     

             

                                                    Herschel Supply Co.

I absolutely love my Herschel backpack for heavy work load days that i'm in full student mode. They are comfortable, stylish, affordable and water resistant, I hope you see a trend here, I am always caught in the rain without an umbrella for some reason. Herschel Supply backpacks are constructed from water resistant tarpaulin with a 15" mesh laptop sleeve, padded shoulder straps and waterproof zippers.

     

                                        

                                                                     ZARA

Simple and Chic. This Zara Geometric Tote is the perfect plain tote for everyday use. Large enough to carry a 15" laptop and equipped with an interior bag with a zip. Good news, it's on sale! Check it out here.  
                                

                                                          KENSINGTON 

Once again, I am all for organization and efficiency. This bag is cheaper than the Dagne Dover I mentioned earlier but gets the job done just as well. It has a 15" padded laptop compartment and can also hold a 12" laptop, multiple pockets including a cellphone pocket and a metal center clasp to keep items in place.

                     Good luck with the upcoming school year, I hope you found this post helpful!
