Everyone needs a little structure.

Current obsession: Structured handbags.
It should come as no surprise to anyone that I love structure.
I work part-time.  I am in graduate school full-time studying English and writing papers constantly.  I work out anytime I am not at school.  I am planning a wedding.  I help my family a ton.  I spend as much time as possible with Mr. A. 
I.  Need.  Structure.  In order for me to, well, stay sane. 

Salvatore Ferragamo Briana Structured Leather Tote
Tod's Fashion Cartella Medium Top Handle Bag
Jimmy Choo Ross Vintage Leather Satchel
Marc Jacobs Quilting The Standard Bag
Dior Granville Medium Tote
Fendi Regular Peekaboo Top Handle Bag
I can't even choose a favorite. (Probably the Dior.) I love them all.
Mr. A, I know you look at this blog.  Since Christmas has passed, it is time to think about a Valentine's Day/One-year anniversary of our engagement present. (Hint, hint.) (Baaahaahahahaa.)  

It was worth a shot.

  1. I love that these would totally go with every outfit but they make such a statement at the same time!

  2. Wow, it sounds like you are one busy lady! Hahaha I hope Mr A takes the very subtle hint :p
    My favourite is the Dior one, even though I'm waaaay too awful at looking after things to ever own anything nice..

  7. I've been trying to find a really nice, professional looking tote that I can use to schlep stuff back and forth to campus and also take on job interviews (if I'm lucky enough to get some that is) and I feel like investing in something really high quality would be a good idea. I doubt I can afford any of these but maybe if I start saving...right now...

  13. The Fendi peek-a-boo is one of my faves. I love the idea of two bags in one.

    I agree, I need structure to stay sane too.

  14. The Marc Jacobs is so cute! A super busy girl such as yourself needs all the help she can get especially when it comes in the form of a super cute bag!
