Almost 'Tis the season for travel & gift giving.  It sounds insane but I'm already making my gift guide lists for the crew in my life.  These Hayden Reis totes are indeed making an appearance on such lists.  Durable as hell, cute as all get out, and about as multifunctional as a tote can get, I'm a big ol' fan of these Totes (how cute is this Sale HEART tote).  Think your Mom, MIL, sis, gal pal, sis-in-law, or even the Kiddies (my gals put their seashells and beach buddies in these when we go to my folks in FLA).  And when I tell you it's the carry on of all carry on's--I'm not lying.   Don't kill me for already talking holiday, but I'm telling you, it's gonna sneak up on us before we know it!  Alright gang, make sure to check out some of my fave totes below and make it a great start to your week!

The Boot

boots (SOREL ℅)

While you may think it’s a bit premature to be sporting a winter boot already, I felt obligated to get you all ahead of the game because when I went to snag this beautiful lovely last winter, it was next to impossible to locate a pair—Sold. Out. Everywhere.  And so, if you all are looking for winter wish list items, I HIGHLY recommend you hop on a pair of  SORELs stat.  They’re modern and refined and most importantly, keep my pigs as warm and stylish looking as ever through the treacherous winter months.  I find there is no boot that balances beauty and function better than my SORELs.  So much so that I opted to add the above pair to my arsenal--how great are the aqua laces?   

Wanna show your SORELstyle?  Share your back to campus look with #SORELstyleContest on Instagram or Twitter and you could win a trip to New York for teenVogue’s Fashion University or one of ten $250 shopping sprees and SOREL boots. 

Alright gang, cheers to a lovely start to your week—let’s make it a good one!
