LL4L Special Guest Post: 4 Under $50 and 1 Splurge Wish List...The Tote Bag Edition!

5/24/2011

 
For my latest edition of  "4 Items Under $50 and 1 Splurge Wish List" I am thrilled to introduce you to Debbie, who is one of my closest friends, and who also happens to be my older sister!

Debbie is such an inspiration to me...she is a working mother of two, an incredible sister, and a loving daughter and wife!  I don't know how she does it all and always manages to look so amazing and put together...as I expect my first baby on the way, she has definitely been my go to source on how to be a young chic and savvy mother.

I'm thrilled to have Debbie sharing her top "4 Items Under $50 and 1 Splurge Wish List" with us today.  She chose to focus on tote bags because they are so important for the mom on the go!  Here is what Debbie chose...

The STEALS
Debbie: Now that I have two kids, I have so much to carry around so having a couple of cute tote bags is critical! 

I have found some very cute tote bags for $50 or less....

The first bag is from my good friend’s store in Concord called Hatch.  Hatch is a very modern and chic store that carries gifts, household goods, and baby and women’s clothing and accessories.  Here is a link that will tell you more about Hatch: http://concord.patch.com/listings/hatch-3

Bag #1: I bought this Ann Judge tote bag at Hatch recently for $50!

Bag #2: The 2nd tote bag that I am featuring is from Ballard Designs.  You can get a large tote bag from Ballard Designs for just $25 which includes free monogramming!

Bag #3: The 3rd bag that I am featuring is from Lands End Canvas and it is on sale for just $16.99. I like the navy and orange options.  You can also get this bag monogrammed for just $5!

Bag #4: For my 4th bag I would like to feature a straw bag which could be used for just about anything including fun trips to the beach.  J Crew has a very cute Farmer’s Market Bag which also comes in red and blue stripes...

And if the J.Crew bag seems too expensive Target also has a cute straw bag from the Calypso collection...

The SPLURGE
Bag #5: I hardly ever splurge on things anymore but when I do I like to see what Nordstrom has to offer.  So if I was going to splurge on a tote bag and did not have to worry about the price or sippy cups or bottles spilling in my bag, then I would buy this leather tote bag from Tory Burch. I like the brown bag but it also comes in black and tan for $450!

But my favorite tote bag is not for sale...my daughter gave this tote bag to me for Mother’s Day!  I asked her if she made it at school and she said “No Paula (her teacher) made it!”.  Oh well it is the thought that counts!

Hope everyone had a great Mothers Day!
