'TOTE'ally love this

I LOVE BAGS!!  There I said it!  Just call me a bag lady.  Some ladies love shoes (ok I love those too), but my "thing" (besides home decor) is handbags, tote bags, luggage bags (in my case most of my handbags are huge like tote bags).  I love a designer bag and thanks to my days working for Neimans corporate I scored a few insane deals at our sample sales.  These days...the bigger the better.  I want a cute "mom bag".  Lets be honest....I carry TONS of stuff in there!  Anyway I was super excited when I saw this adorable tote at one of my favorite stores...Ballard Designs!

It had all the fixins of a winner...large size, burlap and sparkle!!  I mean....perfection right?!

And did I mention...ONLY $35!!!

Now, I had to decide which one...the gold or silver?

I posted this picture on Instagram last week and yall love it too!  

I finally decided on the gold one and how do you make a burlap, sparkle bag even better??.....MONOGRAM IT!

It was only $6.50 to add a monogram!  Totally worth it.

I went with brown and I am telling you...this will be my new bag (for awhile).

Here she is:

I didn't even realize when I ordered it that it had a zip top and a zip pocket inside.  Even better!

Look how much room!  I have plenty of room for my stuff, diapers, bottles, snacks (oh my).  

Anyway I love sharing my favorite finds with you and I give this one a rave review!  Cute, functional and an amazing price.  I may just have to get a bunch of these for Christmas gifts...they are perfect right?  I mean who doesn't love a monogrammed tote?!
